Perfectly Simple

I have decided that I will update this at night instead of the morning because it is a lot easier to write about the small things that happen once my day is almost done. So look for my updates then!

The highlight of my day probably occurred the moment I walked out of my last physics lab...EVER! I am not a physics person, not at all. If I could change something in my freshman year, that class would be the only thing I would get rid of (besides that I would like to think I had a perfect freshman year). As a music major do I really need physics? Granted it is physics of music and sound but while I am playing I am not going to calculate the frequency of a fourth space E. That is just not how I view music, it is not a science to me. I see music as an art, as an interpretation. I don't want someone telling me how to mathematically play music, so being rid of those horrible physics labs is definitely a blessing!

My day did not end there though! I got to practice for over an hour and a half, solid, no breaks! Most people hate practicing and I won't lie I am not a big fan of practicing either. But today when I was playing I was so focused, I knew what I needed to get done and I accomplished it. That was an awesome feeling, to leave the practice rooms feeling like I didn't waste a second of my time. I can only hope that whatever your major or career is can make you feel as great as it did for me when I was practicing. I know this is what I am meant to do because of that feeling.

After my practice session I came back up to my dorm, changed into sweatpants, and went to work on packing some things up to take home so I don't have to take it all back when school gets out in a few weeks. Packing is such a slow process for me. I continuously get distracted with whatever I am packing away because everything has a story behind it. I do not dislike packing for that reason: it brings back so many memories. I could go into detail about that now but I need something to write about when I unpack. To sum it up though I had a lot of fun packing, strange right?

Now I feel like I have had a full day: I finished physics, practiced like a crazy woman, and packed so I am currently watching A Beautiful Mind while eating chocolate. It is a simple day but I would venture to say that is a great day in anyones book!
