Back at School

so i have to start off the semester by staying at school for 4 consecutive weeks because of the opera. so far, I have made it through the first weekend alive and I am proud of myself for it. This just goes to show that when I always have something to do, I feel pretty good. Mostly, though, I have the weather to thank. It has been so beautiful and spring-like that my spirits are really really high. It's so strange though, this feeling because it's like a circle- I mean I never realized that there was such a thin line between extremely happy and extremely sad; I always thought that they were too far apart for me to have to worry about falling to the other side of the line at times. I haven't thus far and I expect that I won't, but if I do, I know what will make me feel better. You see, I forgot how much I loved to read and now that I have this really good book, The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure from the Wraeththu series, whenever I get too feeling less than good, I can pick it up and I feel better. I haven't felt this good in a long time- well, minus whenever I'm at home. I think the last time that I've felt this good at school was when I wrote the first blog on this site the air (http://baumregen.blogspot.com/2005/09/air.html). It's strnage to think that it is still only january because the weather is so amazing and the trees are already beginning to bloom-Tammy says that the next ice age must be coming, like this is the calm before the storm idea. lol. well anyway, I have to write a lesson plan for my vocal techniques class so I'm gonna go.
