Days 10-12 Out of 365

Day 10: January 29, 2011
This was the last day I had at home before going back to school. I had a ton of errands to run and was busy most of the day, so I didn't really get to do any fun. I returned some ribbon that I had bought at Michael's, stopped at Target to look for a new camera bag and then dropped by Lifeway one last time before I went back. I had meant to take this picture on Friday, which was my last day of work there, but silly me, I forgot to bring my camera with me to work. But it works out, because I got it on Saturday and got to say some final good byes to my co-workers, who are all really great. I'm excited to go back and work with them again on the next break.
The rest of the night was spent just trying to put together everything I wanted to bring with me to Messiah. I didn't get to sleep Saturday night until 3:30 AM or so, because of laundry and packing. But that was alright and clearly I survived.


Day 11: January 30, 2011
This was Sunday morning as I was leaving my cul-de-sac for school. I'd also settled on taking this picture because I felt like it would be a good reflection of the day. And it really was. I also like the stop sign in the background.
Sunday was just hectic, going from church to home to get the last minute items I wanted, to driving up to the Panera in Chambersburg, stopping at the Chambersburg Target to find out the camera bag I liked wasn't there, stopping at the Carlisle Target to find the camera bag was there and then getting to campus, dropping my clothes and room items in my room, only to rush down to the pit orchestra rehearsal in Climenhaga by two. It was busy, but I prefer it that way. It helps keep the loneliness at bay. That night Vicki and I were really excited to watch Desperate Housewives, but it was another rerun. We got to bed eventually and although I was really exhausted from staying up the night before and running around, I didn't sleep well.


Day 12: January 31, 2011
This was Monday night, the evening of my first day of class. It was ridiculously busy, though I think that once the musical is out of the way, I will be much happier with the schedule. I start Mondays in Music Theory at 9:10, then go to Sightsinging, French, lunch, violin lessons, Music History 1 and then String rehearsal for the symphony orchestra. It is a full day, but it'll be over by five or so. The only issue was last night we had musical rehearsal from 6:30 to 10:45, so it wasn't being cooperative for any down time at all. Still, the musical was fun and though I can't play a decent amount of the music, I'm enjoying it. I think its a great show, I just wish I could see it from way down in the pit!
At any rate, this reflection is meant to not really show that I'm already in my pajamas and ready for bed, because I was just so tired at this point, I wasn't going to try for anything fancy. Though, it can be used as a reminder of how much more tea I drink at school then at home. I've already had probably six cups of tea since I've been here, and that's about as much as I drank at home all break.
