Blog Reunion

I have absolutely neglected this blog for a long time now...

Work at the Boys & Girls Club has been great lately. I love my kids. As much as I would rather stay home and work on my own projects everyday, once I am there, I am loving it. I love how unconditionally loving some children can be, coming up to my room to do nothing but give me a hug... and play my instruments. More of my students have become very devoted lately, and I am looking forward to watching them develop into beautifully passionate artists. It is a wonderful feeling.

With the new semester came a resurgence of my passion for learning, as is usually the case at the start of the semester. This semester will be absolutely overwhelming, but, I am beginning to understand that such dissonance in my life can be powerfully compelling, driving me to be more and more productive. I have been reading seemingly non-stop the last few days, and I do not feel the least bit of fatigue. I am loving it. Free bus transportation has been somewhat of a saving grace for me, it is absolutely convenient and somewhat inspiring. Riding the cold bus at night lets you think and contemplate in a very open manner. Reading on the bus has been great also.

Writing, politics, music, language, psychology: all on the list for this semester's classes. Almost an all-star lineup of subjects for me. It will be hell, but I am looking forward to it very much.
