Man, I feel so...academic. Mike gave me an IM at about 2 last night, asking for company while he finished up his math. So I packed up some writings and a book of poetry, and we worked and talked 'til about 4.30ish this morning, when we both crashed out, exhausted but neither of us totally satisfied with what we'd completed. Possibly one of the best experiences of my life. It was just so...I don't know...professorial. Someday, Erin, someday. Oh. I don't think I mentioned yesterday. I'm sitting 3rd chair, out of 6 horns. So I met my goal of beating out 3 or 4 people. Which is always lovely. And since they doubled up on first part, I'm sitting alone on second, which also makes me smile. I love harmonies. And they're all mine!!! Self-defense today. Very excited. Also a wonderful, wonderful class, and I encourage any girl who reads this to take it. Boys...take Hapkido. About the same thing, really. But, with self-defense, yeah, we do learn cool martial arts moves, but my instructor is amazing about raising our self-awareness, and making us feel good about what we're doing, thus raising our confidence and helping us get a calm head and clear thinking to go with our muscle memory. She's possibly one of the best instructors of anything that I've ever had. Well, I've got a bus to catch in half an hour, and I'm still drippy haired and pale faced. Hmph. Like I can fix that last one. Have a great day.
