Sleep, Comfort, Chords

Several fun things!
First: I have been getting SO MUCH SLEEP it's insane! This is possibly an adjusting period. I'm trying to compromise by love of nights with my new-found love of mornings. This is challenging since things happen in the DAY! I'm just all about siestas (I think). You can get your productivity done in the morning (a pleasure I'm learning to really love), take a snooze, and rock out the rest of your day.

Second: I was debating whether I would write this in my written journal (which is significantly more private (as I am the only reader (and I don't even read it too often))) or this one... but I've chosen this one. I am feeling VERY comfortable this year! I'm feeling like I think I did junior year of highschool... obviously besides all the stress of college. I just really like the path that I'm on, and I feel like I've been making the right decisions, and I didn't even realize I didn't feel like that before until now. I didn't realize that I hadn't come to terms with all that I've done. But also I feel like I'm doing a lot of activities that I love, and a lot of people know me, and no doors are really closed at all. I just know that when I was a junior in highschool, I really FELT like I could answer questions and take charge and be more assertive without being arrogant. I just knew how things went... or I had a good idea.

That said, I was wondering if next year will feel like senior year of highschool for me. I know that I remember junior year as being the worst, but I'm pretty sure that senior year was the most messed up. I just wonder if finding a job is going to be as crazy and overwhelming as finding a college was for me. I hope not. I'm not trying to be pessamistic. I just think that maybe I should prepare for that possibility. Start early. Make sure I have enough knowledge to get going, because I can definitely see the light right now. I'm just worried that my own insecurity or feeling of ignorance or sizing myself up to other people might get in the way as the time approaches. At least college turned out well. Hopefully I'll remember that.

In other news (third if you're still counting): We did call-backs for Chords today! It was pretty fun! Although we did the song that I solo in, and so it was surprisingly hard to listen to the girls and sing. But, I think we picked some good ones. I just hope that we actually get them, because they could get snagged by other groups. But I thought we were pretty fun. I would be hard-pressed to find a more fun group of ladies-- no joke!

lady, if you're already gettin stressed about life (aka the real world/jobs) you might wanna check out the career counseling office. they have some good things to say about your future, i bet, and you could do the research on stuff ahead of time so you're prepared. just a thought... (in case you didn't know about the office already).
oh and p.s. it's in kenmore square, but i'm sure they have a website.
