siiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Every time I begin to have doubts of whether I'm in the right line of work I have days like today. In fact, it feels like it happens on purpose. Just as I'm losing faith in myself really awesome stuff occurrs. Like when one of my students this morning all of a sudden had a technique just CLICK, like the light bulb went on. We've been struggling with it for months and today it just settled into place as if its never been an issue. And then this high school girl- who has all sorts of mental and emotional issues- came into her lesson this afternoon in probably the best mood I've seen her in in the year we've worked together and she told me that its playing and the lessons that keep her sane. Two really cool things in one day, what could top that? Well, a really kick-ass concert could top that! Do I have more energy because I played well, or did I play well because I had more energy?? Ah, well....

Ok, I just had to kick the damn cats out of the BATHTUB (sans water) where they were having a hissing match. Can't I ever just have NORMAL pets?

Yeah, so anyway. After the concert Sarah and I went to TGIFridays where we achieved a low level yet fairly satisfactory buzz, split WAYYY too much food and made friends with the waiter. It was also really nice to chat with her, and get to know her a little better. What an amazing person she is! If you don't already know her I strongly urge you to GET to know her. Sarah, you have so much strength which I really admire! I hope to learn it from you. Anyway, seeing as how I have to get up UNGODLY early to pick Marta up at the train, I need to go sleepy now. *yawn and stretch* G'night John-Boy. *poof* I'm gone!
