I had the most amazing experiences today...to be honest, I think stuff like this happens a lot more often, but I'm just pathetically unaware. sweatdrop Anyway...

I woke up this morning running late (as always) and somehow ended up in class on time (as always). But I basically slept through my first two classes without actually being asleep. It was really cloudy this morning, which didn't help me to stay awake. But anyway, I went to the Wind Symphony this afternoon and I realized something that I've been taking granted of for a very long time now. I love music. And when I say that, I mean beyond the obsessions with bands and wanting to know everything. I realized today that I just love being there and being a part of it all. I just figured out TODAY why it was I chose to be a musician three years ago. It wasn't just because it's something I'm good at, but because it's something that sends chills up my spine every time I'm a part of it. We were playing a song called The Cowboys, and something just clicked, and all of a sudden, everything was perfect. I don't even remember playing the notes I know I must have been, I just know that it went from playing the bass clarinet to playing music, and it was the most amazing thing...

And then to follow that up, I walked outside after rehearsal, and the sky was incredible. The sun was shining, but it was a little cloudy still, so it wasn't like the sun was beating down on the world or anything. It was a nice, cool temperature, and the sky looked clean for the first time in who knows how long, and it just made me realize how lucky I am. Everything about my life right now is going well, and I really feel like I've got room to become me here. I dunno, it's just so nice to see stuff like this, I guess it made me feel philosophical or something. sweatdrop
