Liquid Sunshine

So let me just start off by officially owning up to the fact that i should never bring a razor near my legs. I'm probably the worst leg shaver in the world... Ouch.  Probably a perfect ending to the day I had yesterday...it was pretty bad. And i usually do not have terrible days like this, which explains my reaction of crying multiple times...in front of multiple people.  Which is kind of unheard of, especially to anyone at home because, I rarely cry. ESPECIALLY not in front of people! But anyway, past the tears part...  I have the absolute best clarinet professor in the world.  Madeline keeps telling me how awesome she is, and how she's always willing to help her figure out her problems and be there for her, and i guess i never believed her for some reason. But yesterday i went in to have my lesson (after crying to Madeline for about 5 minutes) and she just took a look at my face and knew something was up.

I have no idea why, but yesterday morning, everything just started hitting me, and stressing me out for stupid reasons.  First, I fell out of my loft as i was trying to get up. It's hilarious now that i think about it, because after i fell to the floor, I just kind of sat there. I didn't make noise or anything. :P  But then...i had to go to MATH. At 8. That's enough to start anyone's day off badly, if you ask me. In theory, i got a disappointing grade on my homework, and that's the class that's always worried me the most. Needless to say, the day was worse. Cue Madeline Young! She came to my practice room and talked me down, which is good because if she hadn't I probably would've ended up throwing my clarinet across the room. I haven't panicked that badly in a loooong time... And then Dr McCandless gave me theory books for extra help, which is seriously the best thing she could've done, strange as it sounds. Piano was Hell, which is partly my fault and partly the fact that Dr Guy does not teach us. She gives us songs to practice on our own time and expects them to be perfect... Me and Isaak are frequently wishing we were ANYWHERE else, during every single class. I practiced afterwards. Problem solved. Then when I got back to my room, I had a care package from my parents...i literally ran to the office. I LOVE packages :)

So basically, yesterday was tough. And I think I was kind of taken aback by all of the stuff that was hitting me because i'm used to helping others through their problems. I don't like to bring up little things that are bothering me, because they're little. They're not important compared to things other people have gone and are going through.  Like Whitney Houston! I'm a yahoo news creeper, saw this, clicked on it and watched it. I think it's amazing, and i dont even know Whitney Houston's story.  Gospel, when it's sung/related to like this is amazing..

Random side-note over.  So while yesterday was hard for me, it showed me that i have support in many places. Delin, Dr McCandless, Jake, and others... And there's always coloring and care packages and peanut butter to make me feel better.


I misss my siiiister.  She's taken to drawing random crazy pictures on her phone, and sending them to me. Which is great, because it shows that, even with everything she's been through she still has the crazy-insane artistic talent that i wish i had. So Niki, if you're reading this...I love you. And i'm glad things are going well for you, it's well past time for that. <3
