Well that was unexpected.

Today was really, really lovely! I slept in late (perhaps too late...) and went to practice a bit. Too bad I realized how horribly out of musical shape I am. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I need the distraction. Then a long work meeting that I really enjoyed. I've noticed people discussing 'next year' or 'next season' or 'in the fall'...it's weird to think, oh, that doesn't matter because I won't be here. In fact, it's downright sad. Those who know are happy for me as am I of course but it's funny realization that this student lifestyleis all I know and it's going to finally come to an end. Untimely but end nonetheless. I catch myself getting excited in conversations regarding the future and then remember it doesn't involve me. *sigh* Oh well, they'll move on without me. Having said that I am continuously touched at how grateful my congregation is for me. I reguarly get sincere thanks and high compliments for something I really love. It's taken me awhile to realize how significant I am to them but it's a great feeling. The day was topped off with a homemade dinner by Heather and it was orgasmic. I don't even remember the last time someone cooked for me....it's about time! Nah, it's ok but I do love that and I felt quite pampered by both of them tonight. Here's to hoping tomorrow is equally glorious. Cheers!
