It's amazing how much difference a full night of sleep changes your perspective. I've been on the edge for the past few days, but today was so much better. Also, getting through Music History and Theory tests with as much or more proficiency than I was granting myself earlier was a nice surprise.
I'm trying to organize my life now. Which internet provider should I choose? Where are the clubs I want to join? I didn't do this when I went to my undergraduate college, and I'm surprised how easy it is when you have a chosen direction. So far: I've found a knit/crochet group, an equestrian place (I was looking for a hiking/appreciate nature group, but this sounds interesting, too), and just now I found my quiet place. If I was given a guess, it wouldn't have been the off-campus rec room. Life is funny like that, sometimes. I still need a good library.
Knitting has been up and down really wildly in the past week. I was kinda, sorta doing about an inch per day before I left. Actually, it was more like 2-4 rows per day. I was stuck on the heel for six days. Once we got on the road to Ohio, though, I sailed through five inches in two days. Then I was knitting a few inches during Monday and Tuesday because the orientation classes were fairly boring. Today was all testing, so nothing has been done yet. I only have the toe of the second sock left, in fact. I may get to it tonight. I really need to practice violin and prepare for tomorrow, though.
I have no clue what I'm going to do once classes start. Probably go on as I've done before. One thing I remember from my many orientation things is that "study habits from undergraduate studies will greatly impact the habits of graduate students". I hope it doesn't hold true for me in a few things, like waiting too long to start a paper, or only practicing at night. I'm watching for it, so maybe I'll catch it early.
This is the first time I've been truly away from home and on my own. Vienna was more a case of "can she survive for six weeks?". This is two years. I have a feeling I will really appreciate my family visits.
Until next time,
Greeny
