| What an awesome day. Nothing like
January 6th. The Yale Dukesmen came to Ledyard today, and they sang 3rd
block. Lucky enough, I have guitar 3rd, so we went and watched them. It
couldn't have been any better. It was just an amazing A Capella show.
Then, to make it better, 4th block I got to get out of First Aid early,
well, not even go there, because Chamber choir was in the band room to
have a clinic with them. It was so sweet. We sang a song or two, and
they had nothing but good things to say about us. After school, I hung
around for a bit and chatted with a few of them, and it was just so
cool. First off, when you see someone perform really well, you tend to
assume they are larger than life. But, talking to these guys really
brought me to see they are just average guys like the rest of us. It
really turned around the 'blah' day I had yesterday. I realized that
lately I've been in a slump. I haven't been terribly bad, but I just
haven't made the best of things like I usually do. I found myself like
dwelling on things I generally don't (don't take that the wrong way),
but it was transforming my potential good moods into cruddy moods. I
really realized today (again) that I can control my moods. I just have
to have patience. The choir concert really showed me what potential I
have, and where I can end up if I really put effort into things. Lately
I've been lazy. Now though, I see it all, and I'm going to start making
changes. Nothing big, suttle things mostly. I don't think anyone will
notice anything unless you are in my daily interaction. I'm just so
excited that things turned around from yesterday. The appraiser for the
house came earlier and left in a good mood. That was good, I hope that
all works out well. Let's see... I closed again tonight, but it was more
fun. Oh yea, after school, I did quite the deed. I don't mean to brag,
but this shows kind of how I'm changing. I noticed someone was trying to
jump start their car when I finally got out, but was having no success.
After I got in my car, without thinking twice, I drove over and got out
to help. After having him try to start it up, despite the cables, it
failed. I knew first hand it was the battery (having issues such as that
in the past), so I fiddled with it a minute and had him start it up. It
worked! How great, isn't it? I just feel like I really helped someone,
and didn't expect (or get) anything in return. It just felt like a great
feeling. I wish more people had those impulses. Hmmm, oh well. I talked
to my (hopeful) significant other for an hour and a half tonight. It was
a great chat too, I felt like I really connected with her. Maybe soon
I'll release her name online for all to see. We'll see how that goes.
Tomorrow after school and S.O.S... I'm going to Kathryn's with Carolyn
and we're going to jam again! I'm so excited. I've practiced so much and
it's really going to come together well. We'll see what happens...
hopefully soon we'll be making those tapes, and quite possibly CD's.
Well, time to hit the hay... have a good night... I know I have.
