I am frustrated. Do you know why I am frustrated? Because things cost money, and so there are different processes for handling that money, and different ways to format that money in order to spend that money, and everything is so confusing and ridiculous. Things just need to be free. Or be based on an exchange-of-service system. You give me percussion music and a messenger bag, and I'll knit you a scarf and take you to church. Good? Good.
I won my first game of Risk EVER yesterday afternoon! And I realized that never need I be a general. I sucked. If it wasn't for my friends giving me advice and such, I would've died instantly. But regardless... it was fun. And not necessarily because of the game; it was because of the people. I have two families. One of them is biological. One of them is my church friends, from any town or city, and break was difficult because I missed them all so terribly. When I spend time with them, it is ALWAYS good. I ALWAYS benefit from it. That's what fellowship and accountability is supposed to be, right? I'm so glad that I have that in my life.
Today is the first day of classes for the semester. I love fresh starts. I love how the music theory class went this morning (I might actually grasp concepts this semester!!!). I love my lighter course load, although one of the ensembles is going to be doing a lot of in-the-week touring which will probably get old fast. I love walking across campus. I love friendly faces in the music hall. I love Union food. I love college. And although there are times when I want out and I want to go do bigger and better things in different places, I love this. And there's so much work to be done for Him here.
You know, some of the best text conversations consist of quoting Disney songs back and forth.
One of my many "moms" has a birthday tomorrow... it's time to crank out another cake... ha ha, Wonder Woman.
