Life has been interesting lately...

School is good, work has been a bit on the crazy side, and life in general has taken some odd turns here and there.

Work has been very challenging lately, since I am handling what would normally take 40 hours per week in the space of about 25 hours per week. The most frustrating thing, however, is that while I understand the concern, my dad has been putting pressure on me to get things done when I am already doing the best I can. And so far there haven't been any candidates to take over the job. It's gonna get difficult when I have to train someone on top of it all. At the same time, hopefully it will be someone with a lot of knowledge and training already, in which case it will probably be helpful.

One of the really cool things about being back in school is meeting and getting to know new people. All the people I have gotten to know (mostly music majors) have all been really cool people. Another thing that I have found interesting is that there is a higher percentage of guys compared to girls in the music major program. This has been interesting for me, not so much because of anything "romantic", but because I haven't really had very many guy friends that I hung out with on any kind of regular basis outside of school/church/etc... But a lot of people I am getting to know are guys, and honestly, I sometimes feel like I am just socially awkward in that arena and/or way too paranoid when it comes to guys. I am forever worrying about whether I am sending messages that I am not intending to send. I feel liked I don't know what to do with myself when I am getting to know a guy on a one on one basis.

I guess it's all a process. I need to figure this stuff out anyway, so it might as well be now. I just feel like in some ways, I am reverting to high school awkwardness or something. Oh well. I will just be me and do my best to just follow God's leading on everything.
