Just Another Manic Monday

Yesterday was my usual Sunday, or what used to be my usual Sunday. I haven't had one in too long... I got back to my house in the morning, and spent the day catching up on things, doing the usual stuff. And then I went to mass. Everyone's back from Ireland, so we had a bit more of a turn out to choir practice, oh wait, no we didn't. There were 5 of us, and a 6th joined us for mass. It was interesting without the guitar, I guess I'm just used to having my big brother there. Oh, but don't worry, I was referred to as Eric's sister, as usual, so he was there in spirit.

So, afterwards I stuck around and had some leftover pizza while I watched some of the guys play ping pong. I miss the pool table... In case you haven't been to Newman, the ping pong table was created by putting the table top onto the pool table. So, as long as they ping pong, I can't play pool. Oh well, I guess there have been worse things. :)

And, I finally got to go to Full Moon! Its been waaaaay too long... I went with a bunch of people from Newman, most of which I've only met once or twice. And, I ran into Megan and Mimi when I got there. Which was awesome, cause its been a really long time since I've seen either of them. I can't even remember, it might've been almost a year ago, actually, I'm pretty sure it was. So, I talked to them for a while. And sat around with everyone and listened to Ben and Matt. It was so relaxing, I'd almost forgotten how much I loved going there. It used to be what I looked forward to all week. Although, the one song I wanted to hear was Big Blue Sea by Bob Schneider, and they didn't play it before I left.... :( Oh well, I just bought it on iTunes today instead. I'm a product of commercialism and technological advancements, what can I say. But its an absolutely awesome song, I recommend that you all listen to it. Oh, and even though I don't go as often as I used to, the bouncer remembered me, name and all, well, sorta. It took him a while on the name. LOL I don't know if its cool, or pathetic when you have a place that everybody really does know your name.... I like it, its comforting, like a warm blanket. LOL Ok, I'm babbling now.

So, here's my thought for the day: Five years ago, did you think you'd be where you are now? I know that sounds cheesy, but I was thinking about it, I'm so far from where I thought I'd be. I thought I would have graduated this month, and be getting ready to move to NY to attend Eastman School of Music. Things are so far from what I planned, but just because I planned it, doesn't mean its what was meant to happen. I know that you "make your own destiny" or whatever, but sometimes life just gets in the way of that. You can't plan for what life throws you, all you can do is take it all in stride, and make the best of what you have. So that's what I"m trying to do, how well I'm doing it is anyone's guess, but I'm trying. So, that's my question to you, are you where you thought you would be?
