and the semester begins...

Spring semester started up yesterday. And let me say...I wasn't expecting such a wake up. My shower turned freezing cold halfway through...uggghh. (and followed the same pattern this morning!)

The day got better as I continued on:
Movement Fundamentals II (i took I last semester). This is the most amazing class I have ever had in my life. Last semester we learned all the bones in our body, and the different relationships between different bony landmarks. Learning how the body functions inwardly, to create outward expression. Amazing. And now in II we are continuing this idea while incorporating specific movement patterns and phrases. And exploring movement with relationship to self, others, and the world. It is my first class at 9:15am on M,W,F's. And I couldn't be more happy.

The first day of classes is always a little awkward. You walk into the classroom, hoping you see a slightly familiar face to sit next to and make small talk with. Hoping this "friendship" will last the entire semester. Luckily I am not taking any general education classes, so I pretty much know everyone in the music classes. But still, that doesn't mean i'm friends with everyone. So I make silly jokes and try to make people laugh, to lesson the tension before the prof walks in. Great.

I will say, I love the beginning of a new semester because I feel studious and ready to learn, take notes, and do homework. I just wish this scholastic enthusiasm could last the entire semester long...but it doesn't. Oh well, I guess I'll just soak it in for now.

I already can't wait for the weekend...

p.s. bethany is now in peru, and i swear i saw her on campus today. I'm going crazy. Walking to class with my ipod is not as fun as walking with her. :(
