Time is Passing

My heart is recovered from past situations. I still think about it every day, but not in a sense of loss. I look back on it all as basic fact. It happened. Now what have I been doing? Hmm... that's not easy to say, not because I haven't been doing anything, but because I've been doing so much. Every night before I go to bed I write out a schedule of things I must do the next day. The next day I accomplish as much as I can and I check it off as I go. Most of the time I don't finish everything, but I'm working on it. This business has given me more of a sense of being. I'm still looking forward to the fruits of all of this, but I suspect that won't be a reality for a few more weeks. I have managed to keep my room completely spotless since Wednesday though. That's a big accomplishment for me.

So I guess I should discuss the more notable things that have happened to me since I wrote last. Saturday I went to worship practice at Midtown. It turned out to be a pretty great experience, and I got along well with the whole band, so much in fact, that they asked me to play the very next morning. That has been my desire ever since I came to Nashville, and now it is finally a reality. It was strange though. I do not blame them because I would have done the same thing, but they have been the first people I've played with that don't necessarily trust my abilities. That's because they don't know me though. They don't know how long I've been doing this. It's actually quite an intersting position to be in, and I'm looking at it as a great opportunity to learn.

It wasn't more suitable, though, that on the Sunday when I needed to be up extra early that I should be awakened even earlier by misfortune. Campus Security came a knockin on my door at about five o'clock Sunday morning with bad news. It seems that one of my residents decided that they were mad/drunk enough to rip up half of the floor. They threw a trash can down the stairs, one down the hall, and they ripped both water feeds out of the urinals in the bathroom, punching one of them through the wall. If that wasn't enough, they went to the soccer field and vandalized benches and such after that! Needless to say, we're on their trail and they were given ample time to confess, but have not done so. It is now in our hands as to what happens.

Right now I have just finished a fairly satisfying day. I overslept this morning because my alarm clock evidently wasn't loud enough to wake me up, but I'm not too far behind. I've been having weird dreams lately about out of this world events. They've actually been pretty elaborate and intersting, and I look forward to more. Maybe I'll write some of them down or something. Anyways, the day was full and I didn't get as much as I had listed done, but that will all be bumped to tomorrow's list. OH! I made an invention so that I can turn my light on and off from my bed. It is made from thumb tacks, fishing string, and duct tape, if that tells you anything. I've been in a creative kick lately. I've actually written three new songs this month, but I'm still working out the kinks.

Spring Break is just around the corner. Only four more days until a week of freedom that I'm desperately looking forward to. I can't believe it's been a year since my last spring break! Time does fly whether or not you're having fun. I must keep disciplined through the week though. I still have so much to do! Class wise I'm pretty much done, but outside of class I'm swamped. Hope to see you/hear from you soon. Peace and Love.
