Riding the Changes

Well here I sit evaluating my life. There have been so many changes in the recent future it is all starting to sink in.
Most people would think that marriage would be the big one, but that doesn't seem to be throwing me off. It seemed to be a natural step in our life, even though there will always be a "wild" part of me that craves un-natural independence ( I blame my mother). Alex is very supportive of all my craziness (at least mostly) and we are figuring things out in our life.
One of the craziest changes in my life is working a full time regular job. My title is Central Support Coordinator (even though it should be glorified receptionist). Although it is a nice job and the people are great, I am just worried that I will get stuck in Eugene, where there are not that many music paid opportunities. What I am hoping is that this job will be a good basis of some kind.
One nice thing is I have the time in the evenings to give voice lessons which is great experience, and very fun! I love bringing joy to people because singing is their hobby and something they love. I am learning so much from my students--I hope to get more.
Another thing I have learned recently is that I need start saying no to some things because I am about to be crazy busy this fall term! The problem is I can't figure out what to say no to! Maybe that lesson will come soon..............
The biggest change recently that is the hardest to cope with is good friends moving away. It hit me harder than I expected it too. After a month I am just now starting to figure out my life without them here! :( Although their moving is helping me to stay motivated to not get stuck here in Eugene--it constantly reminds me is that music needs to be a major part of my life because these friends are taking the risk and living the "starving artist" life. What this means for me is practicing and getting applications filled out and becoming more financially responsible, so that I can get a masters degree.
In Finality, what all this rambling means is that growing up is happening and slapping me in the face, and I am deciding if I was ready for this..................stay tuned to find out. :)

My life.

Well here is my first attempt at blogging. I figure I should give it a shot, being that people are starting to spread out--why have the internet if I don't use it--right?
A little bit about myself.....I am a 22 year old newlywed who is almost finished with my Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance. I realized half way through college that I love singing and performing, but not as a career. I finished the program because I felt like it was something I had to do in my life. In college I found theater and my love for the hobby, and especially my love for stage managing (I think it is mostly because I like to be charge). I like to do a lot of different stuff like traveling, sports, hiking, camping etc, but my problem is I would rather be involved than just watch, so this makes me a VERY BUSY person.
Currently I am living in Eugene working a full time job I don't really care about to earn money to figure out what I am doing with my life. While doing that I am finishing my one class I need for my degree, stage-managing for a theater in town, and teaching some private voice lessons.
That is my life as of present! Hope you enjoy my blog--maybe I will have some interesting posts once in a while.
