My exams went well...as well as expected I guess. I drove to and from VT to home way too many times, had way too many sad goodbyes, and rode way too many miles on a charter bus. My secret transfer had been found out finally as well. My final days at Virginia Tech as a real student were as memorable as the first, except in reverse. I was the first person to move into my room, as was I the last to move out. Graduation was just like any other graduation, beyond annoying to endure. I sat through two graduations that weekend, the second being for my Annie Lockett's graduation from the community college, in which I had a two hour nap before the ceremony. Let's just say I was not a happy camper. After getting semi-settled back in my home, I began to work my three-four jobs of the summer. Call me a cashier-mary kay lady-umpire-baby/house sitting machine. The days I'm not busy with one of these jobs, I'm busy being the laziest person I know. And when I'm not either doing everything or absolutely nothing, I'm with the greatest friends I could have ever asked for (minus my Gate City crew, of course). This summer is turning out nothing like I had planned. New friendships, old friends coming back in my life, staying out all night being 18, and having some of the greatest adventures to date. I can't complain about almost anything. You never know where a night in Henry County can take you, and I can only hope it takes me back to some of the amazing moments I've had so far. It's been just like the epic life I lead any other place I am. I think I've just about caught you up on my life since the beginning of May.
I think I've silently realized that music education is not what I want to be when I grow up. It's something I'm beyond passionate about, but I almost feel I don't have the drive I should have about it. So, here I am, back at the drawing board.
I love my life. I love my friends. I love whats ahead of me. The only complaint I have is having no money, even with the amount of work I have.
I promise, from this day forward, I will be back on the blogging train. :)
PS--I hope this is sufficient, Marla.
"I’ve seen this here I’ve stood here before.
You know I have boy.You know I’ve been right here.
I’ve felt the fire from this war.
You know I have so.
So let me see it again.
And you are my fading photograph. And ripped memory.
And your burning memoirs rest here. You know they wrestle with me.
You are the noise in here I cannot sleep without.
Constant reminders everywhere in between
You are the way out of here. The grace that I have found
Constant reminders everywhere in between
I’ve lived out all my crazy Vegas dreams.
I’ve seen it all boy.
I’ve seen it all right here.
And now regret the glamour that I have made.
Please forgive me.
Oh God forgive me.
And you are my fading photograph. And ripped memory.
And your burning memoirs rest here. You know they wrestle with me.
You are the noise in here I cannot sleep without.
Constant reminders everywhere in between
You are the way out of here. The grace that I have found
Constant reminders everywhere in between
I walked away from
And now I wish a poem
I’ve come to tell you
I’m coming home tonight
I’m on my way back home
And your arms tell me it’s been too long
I’m on my way back home
And your lips tell me it’s been too long
You are the noise in here I cannot sleep without.
Constant reminders everywhere in between
You are the noise in here I cannot sleep without.
Constant reminders everywhere in between
You are the way out of here the grace that I have found.
Constant reminders everywhere in between "
