Well, college orientation starts this afternoon. I may not be blogging much in the next few weeks. I'm having very mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I will get to meet a lot of new people and at least some of them will end up becoming lifelong friends. On the other hand, being around a lot of people can be difficult for me, and I'm not going to get very much of my precious alone time anymore ('though I am staying at home, not on campus, so I'll get some). But on the other hand, I get to learn a lot of new stuff and that excites me! But on the other hand, I'm going to have a bigger load this year than I've had in a while, and on top of that, a couple of classes I'm not going to enjoy (like writing - I have issues with writing). But on the other hand, I get to be in a choir again for the first time in a year and a half, and I can't wait!!!...but on the other hand, I've still got to convince the music prof that I DO belong in Concert Choir, not Choralons (the less challenging group). I also have to talk with him about continuing lessons with my current piano teacher, not a teacher at the school, which is looking a lot less likely to happen than it was, because I just found out my current teacher doesn't actually have a Bachelor's degree, even though he knows enough to have a doctorate. I could use some prayer about that. I know God will work everything out to His glory and my ultimate benefit, but losing my piano teacher would be about the worst thing I can imagine happing to me right now. It would be the difference between a challenging, but fun, year and an awful year.
So stir all that up together and you can figure out why I have a few knots in my stomach. I'm glad I have you guys to unload onto.

lol, you should be in Fiddler on the Roof Crystal!!!
but I totally know how you feel. I'm terrified to start school, but really really really really excited at the same time. it's weird.
it would suck so much to lose your piano teacher!! I DO know how you feel there. I can't imagine leaving my teacher for anything. I really hope you get into the choir you want.
I need to learn how to sing for real before I'm in choir next year, hahahah.......oh dear.
*freaks out*
You know Crystal, I think you'd be in a lot less turmoil if you didn't know so much about yourself! Hahaha, you're just too smart. Don't let your inhabitions get in the way though. I'm pretty much sure you'll do great at college. I'll be praying for you!
Argh! I just wrote a comment and lost it and don't have time to write it up again. In short, I was hormonally influenced when I wrote this post (and still am slightly). I feel a little better about things now. But piano lessons are still up in the air. And if I know too much about myself, then I wouldn't trade that knowledge for anything.
Crystal!!!!!! Here is what I tell people just before they go on an intense ride: Whatever you do, DON"T FREAK OUT!!!!! I don't know if that helps you at all.
I guess what I mean is try not to stress about things. Because whatever happens, God allowed it for a reason. There is no use fretting about things, it only causes stress and discord.
And yes, I have reappeared on blog!!! Love you!
*waves to everyone* I've only got a moment before Calculus starts, but I wanted to tell you all that classes are going great and it even looks like I'll be able to continue with Mr. Sindlinger!
Lucy!! *big hug* How are you doing?
HA! I'm at your blog. :-)
You should be sooooo proud of me. Hahaha
How are you Crystal!?!?! We seriously need to start writing. :-)
xo
Ahhhh!!! Silly thing! I put a comment and it went *poof* into thin air!! *sigh*
Anyways, I am well. I redid my blog (which I think you would LOVE) and put two posts up.
Still crazy busy as ever!! I am ready to be out of this house! Day after tomorrow, day after tomorrow. . .
How are you?
Hello Lindy! Yes, I'm so very PROUD of you for making it to my blog!!! What do you think of my little poem?
I am busy as well. Fourteen academic credits, piano lessons, concert choir (YAY!!), playing for church almost every single Sunday, and a 2 to 4 page essay to write by Tuesday. *gulp*
And Lucy, I love your new blog layout! Pink (no offense) is my least favorite color. Piano keys are so much nicer and classier! Although it bothers me slightly that the fingers playing the piano have very long nails...
Oh, and I forgot to say, after having my hopes dashed and revived about five times (I tend to overreact to things when they're this important to me), I am officially continuing with Mr. Sindlinger!
lol I am not the only one that is a little disturbed by the nails!!!! I just thought everything else about it looked nice and fitting.
