After a much needed talk tonight with a good friend, this song was suggested to clear up the confusion. I cannot believe that I took God out of the equation for just one minute.. and then my head got so cloudy that I couldn't understand one thought from another. But having a good heart to heart and music and scripture showed me that God's love is all that I need to care about right now.
Thank you, friend.
Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
Give me your life
Lust and the lies
The past you're afraid I might see
You've been running away from me
You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
It's a mystery
Love of my life
Look deep in my eyes
There you will find what you need
I'm the giver of life
I'll clothe you in whine
My immaculate bride you will be
Oh come running home to me
You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
It binds you to me
Well you've been a mistress, my wife
Chasing lovers it won't satisfy
Won't you let me make you my bride
You will drink of my lips
And you'll taste new life
Cause you're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
And it binds you to me
You're my beloved
Forever we'll be
Our love it unites us
And it binds you to me
It's a mystery
It's a mystery

My fingers hurt.
And it's the best thing I think I've ever felt.
For so long I've wanted to learn to play the guitar and now I'm finally making it happen with thanks to Charlie. I got home at 2'clock today and have been playing ever since. I think I play for about 2 to 4 hours every day. I practice as much as I can, whenever I can.
There's a certain satisfaction that comes with learning something new. And I'm thankful that I wasn't born with the knowledge to play an instrument. I get to mess up, and then get it all on my own. And finally when I learn a new song I have so much pride knowing I did a good job. I've only been playing for two weeks and I'm learning so fast. I love it.
And the calluses forming on my fingers are beautiful.

Thank Goodness
*The title of one of my favorite songs from Wicked.
WICKED in THREE DAYS! Oh my goodness, three days? Really? It feels like just yesterday I was leaving BCM and seeing that I had a missed call from my uncle. And to my surprise he tells me that my aunt wants to take me to Wicked for my birthday. I was right outside the student union when he told me and I stopped dead in my tracks. My legs felt like jello and I got butterflies in my stomach. An imediate smile came across my face involuntarily, but not unwelcome. I wanted to scream for joy.
That day is fresh in my mind as if it happened yesterday, and now I'm merely three days away from seeing a show I've only dreamed about seeing for the last few years! (:
I am oh so excited to be going with my favorite bestfriend, and two awesome aunts! I wish I could invite everyone I know to go see it, but alas I have no money.
Last night I looked up Wicked souvenoirs online and found a shirt I want to buy. I hope they're selling it the night I see it.
I'm so excited; I might cry. (:

Don't Worry, Be Happy
I feel like I always worry about things that I shouldn't worry about, and yet I don't worry enough about things I should be concerned with. Please tell me that this is human nature, because I don't want to add this to my list of flaws. The list seems to be getting longer and longer.
Ugh. I'm still stuck at that "What do I want to do with my life" phase, and feel like it's going to be a while before I'm out of it. I can see myself doing two professions, well.... I don't know.
I haven't written over spring break because there isn't very much to say. I haven't done anything except watch Gilmore Girls reruns over and over, mix in a little Sims 2 (love the game, don't mock me) and 4 hour AVF marathons (YAY!) and there's my spring break. I did go see a movie and have Bobas with Gentry and Christa though. I'm glad I got to do that. I miss my friends. I wish Gen were transferring to Longwood next year, but she's not until our junior year.
I'm so glad she picked Longwood. I don't know how we've managed to be apart for this long. Ask my family; we were attached at the hip ALL THE TIME in high school. She practically lived at my house. I remember bringing her to a dinner at my Nana's house and my uncle Chris walked in the room and was like "Do you ever go anywhere without one another?" Ahaha.
She's my bestfriend and college without your bestfriend is hard. I can't rant to people like I rant to her, and doing it over the Internet or telephone isn't the same as in person. Watching I Love You, Man (our bestfriend movie) is not the same without her.
Well there was my little I-miss-my-bestfriend-and-I-want-her-to-transfer-to-Longwood-like-nowish-schpeel. I'm done.
But seriously, I can't wait for school to be over. I'm sure I'll miss all of my Longwood friends and I'll DEFINITELY miss BCM a lot, but I want summer to be here. I want to go to the beach and not worry about anything. I want to be on a plane to New Mexico (I have to wait until next year for that, unfortunately) and watch the lightning dance across the desert. I want to go to work and see all my kids. I want to wear flip flops. And most of all, I don't want to do schoolwork. I want summer.
Now I've got to suck it all up and head back to school tomorrow.
At least I have WICKED in five days to look forward to (:
