window shopping...

       i just went shopping over the phone. it was a very strange experience. my mom has a kohl's coupon for 25% off or something like that and this weekend is a big sale, so she had me go to the kohl's here in columbia and shop around and then tell her exactly what i wanted so she could by them in kansas city and have my little brother bring them back when he comes on monday. i even took a picture of the shoes i wanted and sent it to her. i felt very funny.

       so, yet another week over. in exactly five weeks i will have walked across the stage and received my diploma. how insane is that? haha. then what? yeah, i still have no idea what i'm doing after. still waiting to hear about the position at the house. i will say, though, that things aren't as completely black (as in blind, not bleak) as they seemed. if i don't get the position, there is a slight possibility that i could move in with a buddy of mine. don't know what i'd do there, yet. i guess i'd still try to write. i really want to do that. we'll see. i'm trying to keep in mind the saying, "when God closes a door, He opens a window."

       and a friend of mine from rcm asked me to accompany him on the piano as he plays the cello. the music doesn't look too bad, but it's been faaaar too long since i've done any of that. i'm going to start practicing right away and we'll see what happens. the last time i played in public i tanked. i was stupid, though, and tried to play without music while singing at the same time. won't do that again anytime soon. the songs he chose are good ones, so i'm looking forward to it, but partly in that "ooh, look, a car wreck!" kinda way. hum de dum.

       ok, i need some food. and i have a ton of work to do. procrastinating. love it. ok, hope all's well with all of you. talk to you later.
