Late Night Ramblings

The train passing by my new house finally passed.  My first day back to a new semester was very interesting and very new.  It will be more hectic, and I am already more tired; however, being single again leaves me with some new perspectives I find extremely essential to my growth this year.

I can’t tell you how nice it is to be able to concentrate more on my studies and on friendships.  As for me, it is very good to get to know myself a bit better too. 

I took a lot home with me from Las Vegas, although I had to leave behind my good friends in body (though never in spirit) and my relationship.  Mike, of course, came home, but he came home as a very good friend who I treasure dearly.

So, feel free to harrass me more.  I’ll be busy, but I’m already a lot more myself and a lot more focused.  Most importantly, I’m in the business of living, even in the midst of the busyness of graduate school in opera. 

Any suggestions from anyone who has spent good chunks of time alone, getting to know yourself, are most welcome.  Did you take in movies alone, see plays alone, or just surround yourself with friends?  What worked?  What didn’t?  I’m game for anything.

As for tomorrow, our new Maryland Opera Studio swim team (The Trouble Clefs ) are having our first meeting.  There’s nothing like sharing some exercise and laughs with some great friends - at the pool!!!
