Beginning again

Reviving my blog? I believe so. Sorry for not writing while at L'abri. That feels like forEVER ago, and I've changed immensely since then. Hopefully for the better, but I'll let you be the judge of that. In typical I-have-no-idea-what-to-do-with-my-life fashion, I suddenly made the decision to move to St. George, Utah, to live with my Great-Grandmother and establish residency while I continue practicing piano and mulling over the idea of going to Southern Utah University to study music. There is this Inspiring, Wonderful, Russian Professor there, Dr. Kirill Gliadkovsky, who I intend to study under. I still don't know what I am going to do when I graduate, or even what I want to learn. I take that back. I want to learn anything anyone will teach me. Classical, Jazz, Composition, Theory, Technique, maybe How to Sing On Key?

I got a job at this Deli in town where my Mom worked when she lived here during college. Women always say that one day you'll wake up and realize you're exactly like your mom, and I always strongly resented that, but listen to the paralells here: she went to the same school I want to go to, lived in the same house with the same grandmother, worked at the same deli, and studied Math. I'm not studying Math, but Music starts with the same letter so I put it on my list. My boss told me she'd be a bit nervous if I started dating an older man. (my parents are twenty years apart) So far there's no danger of that, but back to my point- I don't resent the similarities at all! Let the resentment begin when I wake up with four+ children. At least i know some things I don't want, right?

1. I'm glad you decided to move up here, we've been trying to live close to each other for years.

2. You do sing on key (sort of)

3. Whether or not you know it, you do want children and will have some once you are married.Don't try and deny it. I'll even babysit for you. :)
