A week that has been pretty swell so far if I do say so myself.
We all have expectations before we go back to school...
Who am I going to meet?
Will I get good grades?
Will I get any good parts or solos?
Will I fall in love?
Will I fit in?
These are the constant question we (I) ask myself when starting a brand spanking new school year...
I usually have expectations, and I dream up the many options or scenarios that could possibly go down.
If there is one thing I've learned in my twelve years in this BIZ (not including pre-school), it's that a lot of these expectations I dream up are just too good to be true sometimes.
They will probably go very differently if not the opposite of what I expect or hope.
What does that lead to? Yes, that's right... the D word.
Expectations often lead to disappointments.
Not always, but with the stuff that goes on in my brain, and the many things I can dream up, yes... the D word comes into play every so often.So what did I do this time?
I went to school with absolutely, positively, ZERO expectations.
I just walked in with my eyes open, my mind clear, and my nails painted three different colors.
...and you know what!?
So far... it's been a sensational week!
I love Jazz. I love Concert Choir. I love Woman's Choir.
I love Theatre 3. I love going off campus with my friends for lunch.
I love being an upperclassmen. I love being looked up to.
I love meeting new people and trying new things.
I love being the class clown. (it's so true)
I love that things are the way they are.
I am content, satisfied, and grateful for the way they are because, I wasn't expecting more or less or any different. I wasn't expecting anything at all!
So... so far, life at school has been great.
I usually find myself at the end of the day not wanting to leave...
That's gotta say something.
I just really hope that the best is yet to come.
Look... there I go with them expectations and hopes again.
I suppose I just never learn.
Oh well!
Junior Year Here We Go...!
