Happy Thoughts are Hardly Reflective

This is usually the space where I attempt some confusing “deep” thought… but today I’m happy. School is over and life is working out. It’s so easy to look at the glass as empty, but sometimes it’s worthwhile to look at the good things. If you’re looking for something general, you may or not find it in this entry, but if you want to hear a little about my life, read on.

I’m going to miss Maryland, but as I leave here I know I’ll have some things to return to in August. It all just came together today. I finished my finals, hung out with Justin, had a ballroom meeting, and went out dancing. It was all so nice.

I think I’m doing well in school. My modern philosophy professor told me that I “did really well” on my final; that was the one class that I’ve been worried about. What would it be like to get a 4.0? Well, I won’t count my chickens…

But I feel good. Tonight Carla told me that I’m a “good lead,” and Lara said I “feel the music.” Wow, to hear that from two awesome dancers means a lot to me. I’m going to miss dancing here.

When Justin and I were hanging out we were playing around on my guitar. I need to practice, but I think I’m getting a lot better. Or at least my hands are more ready.

And the Ballroom at Maryland meeting went really well. I don’t know that I’ve ever “formally” run a meeting before… and here I am running a huge club. I felt like things were falling into place with the club today.

Everything is working. All the time I spent studying, dancing, screwing around on guitar, and even working on this website has paid off. Hell, I even feel like I’m getting something from time at the gym. Even more, my friendships are where I want them: thanks Ian, Justin, Marina, and Chiles for being there for me so much this semester. Adam Duritz had this quote in an obscure song that goes something like “I’m on the precipice of big time.”

Well, walking in to find voicemail, email, and some instant messages… and having a great day like today… I feel like that. I’m saying goodbye to people for a little while, but I’m not going anywhere… and neither are they. Life is good; I only hope things will continue. And I wish the same for you.
