"How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last"


I'm pretty sure that's a line from Les Mis...and it's been a sort of mental mantra in the past 12 or so hours. I don't even know how to describe my life right now...I am really satisfied. From Ms. Smith's* proudness to everyone who came to support me...to last night falling asleep...everything has been perfect. No, I didn't hit EVERY note exactly the way I should have; no, i didn't get every count-off right; no, not everything was PERFECT. But the feeling that came with everything was! I wasn't even nervous sitting at the piano, which I think is progress. Maybe it's because I wasn't facing the audience...and the fact that Ms. Dunn from the lower school seriously wants to hire "the band" for the lower school shows...and that John's dad's company wants them to perform all the music at a corporate event! And then that Ms. Hagemeyer wants me to help with Beauty and the Beast at the middle school! That would be my dream come true. And she said I'd get PAID, which wouldn't be my driving factor behind doing it, but still, getting PAID to do what I love! I can't believe it...I am honestly in denial because I really don't feel like I did much to make TMW that great. I guess I did, but I was too crazy/busy to notice...? I really feel like it was just the girls' natural blend and talent that did it. I can't exactly say I'm sad it's over, but I'm definitely going to miss it. It was so much fun, but I'm so excited for whatever is coming next. Who knows...

My problem is that I still have my last semester of high school to finish. I do not want to read, i do not want to write a 10-page-research paper, i do not want to lose one of my free periods!

So much is happening within the next few months--so much more than i expected, and I am so, so, so grateful.
