i taught 5 bands today, managed to loose my voice and find it again, biked 10 miles while battling bronchitis, made margaritas, did the dishes from last night, grew a pair and finally stood up for myself at work... in the form of an overly-sensitive/pathetic email, chatted over lunch with my best gal-pal, figured out what my assignments are for my grad class.... but didn't do my homework, emailed my mom back(which never happens), and sent a cute text to my boyfriend (which after how i've acted the past few days, is pretty amazing).

yesterday, i cried on the couch for about an hour. then i moved to the bed and cried some more. and then i slept. sometimes you just need to cry. and sometimes you just need a hug.

being a grown-up doesn't agree with me. i feel frazzled. thankfully i have a 4 day weekend so close i can taste it.

one awesome thing i found out today is that the may term that i co-teach with my choir teacher friend is full of excellent, insightful students. most of them are kids from band. i'm totally pumped to teach about the beatles to these kids.

the weather is brightening my mood.
