Life after Brussel sprouts

So, it has been a while since I last posted anything. 2 months and 2 days, to be exact. Well here I am writing at 8:11am, tired and sleepy, but needing to blog before classes. Hopefully I can get something worth reading--or at least worth writing--in before I need to leave. If not, the hopefully I will take the time later to write more before the summer comes.

The past 2 months and 2 days have been extremely busy and crazy, both good and less than good. But I would like to think it has been more good than otherwise. Overall, I don't think too much has changed in my personal life. I still look about the same, save for a few more greys. I haven't been practicing my French like I should. And I am still in the spring semester at GSC, though it is rapidly approaching its end. However, next year at the school is still up in the air. Hopefully I can attend, because another year and I could graduate with my first-ever associates degree. Unfortunately, the fact that I haven't worked a steady job since November 28th is beginning to rear its ugly head, and work is difficult to find. It will remain difficult to find until I return from my summer job.

Where will I be this summer, you ask? Somewhere in the Caribbean, working with church youth from around the US who will be spending a week at a time doing missions work. I will even be utilizing my guitar in this post, so that will be extra enjoyable. I'm working with an organization called TEAMeffort, based out of Gainesville, GA. This is my first summer working with them, but our church did utilise them last summer for our senior youth mission trip to Jamaica. The company seems to be a very well developed company and is run very well. And that will be my summer, roughly 2.5 months capped with a week in Puerto Rico with the whole staff at the end.

Between now and then, I also still have my gig. Gig? Yes, gig. I have been making music at Natalie-Jane's Cafe in Clarkesville for the past month or so, every weekend. I'll be continuing that until I leave for the summer. It has been very successful! And hopefully it will continue to be very successful when I return from Jamaica. The food is very good and business has been very good, and I seem to have caused a little buzz with my playing, which makes me feel very good. I basically play acoustic guitar, sing and use a program called Band-In-A-Box, which accompanies me with arrangements of songs that I put together with midi and real recordings. Pretty nifty deal I think.

I still may need to get a part time job on top of it, which would effect my school schedule most likely. But however things need to be, then I'll accept it and re-evaluate when the time comes. Until then, it's time to get on with the current events. Glad to finally put something back on here. Hopefully my next entry won't be nearly as long as 2 months and 2 days!
