An update on the binder situation: I got an email back from Carrie (house mom in Cambridge), who I had left the binder with and who was going to take it to the DRC to see it off from the post. She apologized profusely about it, which made me feel bad because it wasn't her fault at all. She admitted that sometimes people in the DRC are "awkward, especially [insert name of individual who I suspect purposefully did this],"which I believe means that the only person who is awkward is that person. . Anywho... she thinks that I should email John (supervisor at Cambridge) and explain what happened, but I'm kind of over it at this point and realize that not much can be done. I think Carrie is going to try to gather the bits that were missing and perhaps find the actual binder and send it to me. That would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up about it. Oh well. I just started reading the book Traveling with Pomegranates last night because I received it in

20 Years Ago - NCHS Color Guard Takes Europe

Image
I was recently reminded of our high school trip to Europe, which happened 20 years ago during this time of year--December 26, 2000 through January 3, 2001. It's wild that this event was more than half my life ago! I felt like going down memory lane and writing about the journey, so henceforth commences my first blog post of 2021, commemorating a long-ago adventure during simpler times (pre-9/11, pre-adulthood, pre-any type of responsibility). The whole music department at Normal Community High School went--marching band, color guard, choir, and orchestra--and we all had performances whilst overseas. I was 16 years old and it didn't register to me at the time how big of a deal it was. I totally took the experience for granted, but, with the proper hindsight now, I'm super grateful. It couldn't have been cheap and I don't think my parents had that kind of disposable income readily available. I wish I could go back in time and truly take it all in, appreciate it fully,

Sigh. I'm so ready for this time in my life to be over. I'm ready to work again full-time. I'm ready to have a normal schedule. I'm ready to have time in the evenings to do things that I like and not feel guilty about doing them--like working out and reading books for fun. I'm ready to move in with Philip. I'm ready to get engaged and married. I'm ready to go on vacation. I'm ready to learn how to cook and have time to do it. I am so looking forward to the future and I just want it all to start as soon as possible!!! Graduation is in eight weeks! It'll go very quickly. Especially from how fast the first half of this semester has gone, I know that the rest of it will fly by. I'm going to try my hardest to not wish it away and live the last two months of grad school like I should... but it'll be really hard to not count down the days.
