So, yesterday I went to the med chapel to practice for choir... left there early so I could get to choir early... I ran into LeAnn (Bonner coordinator) and we had a wonderful conversation that made me late for choir... but I was so glad we had it.
First we talked about Energy Express... which really really excites me. We talked about things like how to manage the students, taking notes throughout the experience, etc. I'm very anxious to get started with it... I'm going to have so much fun! Hopefully, the kids will too.
After that, the conversation drifted to procrastination. It's so nice to find someone who has the same issues like that that I do! Disogranization, procrastination, failed reform, etc. We both agreed that it's not that we don't know what to do... but why don't we do it?? Also, we always say "this will be the summer of change" and it never comes... but in a way, that's ok. Because we always need something to strive for. Anyway, I've been thinking about it and have come up with some ideas... we'll see how it goes.
The greatest thing was being able to talke with someone... not to someone who's just going to tell you what you really should be doing and blah blah blah... but someone who's as energetic as I am, and who's working through it... it was just wonderful.
I couldn't sleep at all last night... I laid awake thinking about all the things I can do for Energy Express... I think I've caught the EE bug.
On a completely different subject, I've just realized how important Chorale is to me... all of my closest friends (with the exception of my roomie-to-be) I have met either through Chorale (and connections through their friends, i.e. Luke through Jen) or through freshman seminar... I'm really looking forward to tour... we're going to have a blast!!!
There may be many things we forget in the days to come-- This will not be one of them.
