Insanity finds a way

Good conversations usually happen when I'm completely exhausted. Ok. Maybe just conversations where I laugh like a kid playing outside. The fact that most of these hilarious conversations happen in the library.

Last year, I was usually camped out in a friend's room acting like a lunatic. Now, I'm in the middle of the library talking and laughing about something silly while everyone else on the floor is trying to study. Now, my craziness may leak out and infect all those on the floor. Then, no will be able to study!!

Maybe I shouldn't write when I've been studying all day, and it's late at night.

Putting away the computer now....

Wind and Other Matters

I had all my windows rolled down on my way home from school. It was lovely. The wind is really strong due to all the storms blowing in for the week. :) As I was rounding the corner where the frat houses are, a huge gust blew a ton of little leaves through my window. I had leaves flying in my window, past my face, and out the other side. It was excellent.

P.S.
I also went for a walk and returned an hour and a half later. I really, really have not concept of time. I should probably work on that. Truly, the wind was amazing today. I like a good gust that might take you off your feet.

Guess what?!

I am officially excited! I got an email from one of the producers of "From the Top," a radio show on NPR. Sadly, it is not for my flute playing skills. However, it is for something much more interesting.

Gib, Katie, Elizabeth, and I went to a taping of "From the Top" a couple of months ago. It was wonderful. The kids that they had on the show put me to shame. A 10 year old that played piano almost made me cry it was so beautiful. They are doing a series where different people write in to dedicate songs to significant people or teachers in their lives. At the end of the show, we all had the opportunity to fill out a card and propose a dedication. The producer emailed me this morning and wants to talk about what I wrote. He would like to discuss doing a recording for a show!!

Really, I love NPR. How awesome is that?! Elizabeth and Gib made fun of me for taking too long to fill out the card... Who knew that they would like my dedication?

If you're wondering - I dedicated the song to my parents. After growing up with the two of them singing and playing piano all the time, I appreciate the love that they gave me for music. Little did they know that it would include my perfectionism in the form of anger - I dedicated the song to my parents for putting up with me, even when I threw my flute across the room...

I wonder why he thought that was interesting... Oh well, at least I didn't break my flute. :)
