It

Hooray! I ran my school’s “Turkey Trot” today with some friends, and it was a lot of fun. And I got a pretty good time considering the conditions and the hills, so I’m pretty glad. All in all, it was a great time! I’d love to do it again soon!

I’ve been really good about keeping up with all the reading, staying on top of the homework, reviewing my lecture notes after I’ve taken them, and starting projects early. As a result, I am now so far ahead that I am bored out of my mind. I don’t think this is supposed to happen! Maybe it’s because I’m retaking the classes that I withdrew from, and it’s simply because it’s easier for me to go over the same material that I’ve seen before. I still put in a fair amount of time studying for those classes, though! What do I do? I have no idea what a “regular” or “typical” semester is really like for me, because I’ve only experienced being either unmanageably busy or too bored, like I am now.

I’m singing at my campus church, both at the early and late evening Masses. I will soon audition for cantoring at the early Mass, but I began singing with the choir at the late night Mass yesterday, and I think I will keep going with it. It’s more challenging to sing at the late night Mass because it’s a different style than I’m accustomed to, but it will help me improve.

Through this, I’ve also managed to put some distance between myself and some of the friends that were causing me so much distress the last semester I was here. I think I will regularly attend a different Mass now. _{and I’m even taking a liking to somebody special in my choir! giggle}

I realized today that I miss playing piano, and although I will be playing flute in the band this semester, I wonder if I’ll ever have time to pick that up again. However, I’d have to make it part of a commitment in order to hold myself to it, and I don’t know if I have time to add that to my schedule.

_{Actually, I just thought about it some more, and I think that I’d be really happy if I added it. Now just to solve the problem of how...}

I love when I do all the things I adore, and I can just tell that I shine. :D
