…If there’s a Soulmate for Everyone?

I realize I haven’t posted anything on this blog in a while, and I just wanted to give an update.

I’ve had two snow days, which have not been good for me, and I have a huge project due and a test on Tuesday next week, so, needless to say, I’m a bit stressed. But all of this free time with the snow has given me some time to dream. Last night, I dreamed about another band rehearsal with them and him, and, at some point, I dreamed about taking off nail polish. The nail polish part is notable because I’ve been meaning to take off this crusty, hot-pink nail polish days ago, and yet, here it still sits, on the tips of my rippled fingernails.

I submitted for the Zinch student blogger position, and I didn’t make it, but a good friend of mine did. I’m extremely proud of her, and sort of annoyed with myself. I know I could’ve written something much better. I could’ve written something brilliant. But, instead, I let my writer’s block come at the world’s worst time, and I just did nothing to stop it. It was a horrible week, and I don’t know why I’m beating myself up about this because I didn’t just let the opportunity pass me by the way I usually do. I took a shot in the dark, and I missed, by a lot. But I guess being a percussionist, assistant stage managing, teaching children about energy, being a student, and blogging on 2 different blogs is enough for me right now. I feel like now I should take a second to relax and smell the peppermint, French tea latte (which is delicious, by the way!)

So, earlier in the week, before all of the snow days, I had to go to a band rehearsal with them and him, and it wasn’t that bad. There are only 2 other percussionists in my band, while there are about 5 percussionists at the school we’re collaborating with. Surprisingly, I just acted normally (almost too normally; like, predictably normal.) I watched the girl I’d been on percussion with for about 3.5 years being introduced to some horns players by her boyfriend. I have to admit, I was jealous. We were standing right next to each other, and I couldn’t help but think that could’ve been me. I was totally distracted. But I wasn’t really angry until I saw that our parts were all taken by those boys. I worked out what I was playing with him, and, surprisingly, I didn’t freak out about it. He’s cool, and that’s all. All I have to really say about the actual practice and the music is that one of those boys needs to start watching a conductor.

Anyway, I’m going to leave you all with a lovely video and a kiss. Goodbye for now!
