Somewhere over the rainbow

Thirty minutes until class. There are more productive ways to spend my time, but where's the sense in that? Work hours are being cut back from 6:00-9:00 instead of the usual 5:00-9:00. It means less hours, which means less money, but I don't really care. I don't think I'll continue working Phonathon next semester. It's a good job, but I think I'm heading towards burnout in the phone call department. Megan is helping me line up clarinet lessons, which is going to be awesome. Lessons are what I've always wanted to do, and hopefully it will be running full steam next semester.
I started attending a Bible Study on Monday nights with four other girls. Someone brings dinner or snacks, then we watch a video message and talk about the things we've discovered over the course of the week. I'm really looking forward to this because it will hopefully keep me accountable on a daily basis. My biggest problem has been not staying consistently in the Word.
I'm still striving to find a balance between down time and work time. Our Music Therapy Group on Fridays is proving to be very therapeutic. We're discussing things in our personal lives that need improvement and looking to others for suggestions and support. It's still easier said than done, but we'll see. I'm trying to get most of my assignments done ahead of time so that I can enjoy the weekends. Frequently, even if I'm not actively doing homework, I'm mentally stressing over what needs to be completed by Monday. This weekend, I'm heading down to Savannah for Johnathan's recital. It's always so nice just to get on the road and drive. I can turn up the music and sing as loud as I want. There's nothing in front of me but flat open roads and blue sky. I'm saving up my change so that I can visit Starbuck's while I'm down there. Excitement all the way around!
Now. If only the sun would chase away the clouds...
