| Ok, ok. Here's an update:
Today (since it's 12:something), starts the official second week of
summer school. Why would I want to be here you ask? Well, actually,
it's more relaxing to be here than to be at home. At least it was last
year. This year, I think I'd rather be at home. Western Civ is great.
Mr. Bell is amazing--who else can sum up world history in 30 minutes?
(Why wasn't I a history major?? It would save me from the agony of the
main part of my summer)...yep you guessed it practicing. It's not too
agonizing...after all the summer's not for playing 2 recitals,
competitions, and any grad auditions you want to throw in
there....we'll save that for my last two semesters. I have a job now
too. Today I start cleaning house for a woman and her 6 kids whose
motto for cleaning is summed up in the plac above her kitchen sink:
"The only reason I have a kitchen is because it came with the house."
She's not kidding. (more updates on that later)
I want to end on a good note...or notes...
God does answer prayer. I can trust Him with everything. My sister is
my best friend. There's nothing better than Sunday afternoons at the
Sundt's house--strong, black coffee, double fudge dream cookies, and
Euchre...oh yeah, Kelly, Nathan, and Eric are pretty great too :).
Friends who work at Starbucks are the best friends to have and should
be kept at any cost. Breakfast at Tiffany's should always be watched
twice in the course of one day.

| I figured I'd better write now because when I get home I won't update this thing.
I'm sitting here letting the caffeine-high from my last coffee outing
with my friends wear off. I'm looking at the Berlin wall of boxes I
just constructed down the middle of my room. I'm definitely west
Berlin...because I'm finally free! I can't believe this semster is
over. It's felt like two years after all this semester has handed me.
Actually, what God has handed me. There's been so much to learn, to
understand, to realize, to hear, to seek, to love, to try, to say, to
accomplish...to not accomplish.... I'm a different persont than I
was a year ago. I hope I learned what I needed to. I'm ready to move on
with my life. I'm ready to have a vision for where I'm going. I'm
praying for God's vision.
This summer I'm going home til the middle of June. I'll be catering
(and making good money) and playing for our community theater's
production of "Annie Get Your Gun". Then I'll be in Savannah for my
friend's wedding. It will be strange! She and I were best friends when
we were 12. That makes a second really good friend who has moved into
the married stage of life. I'm not even close! Am I behind?....nah,
we'll think about that later. Then I'm coming back to school for summer
school II. Practicing for a recital and going to class will consume my
days. Oh, yeah, and I need a job for that month too. Anyone?
Well, this summer is going to be interesting. I want my soul to settle into the peace of Christ.
Y'all have a great summer. Maybe I'll have an update one day!

| I guess it's time to update this dumb thing. It's been an interesting
past few weeks. After National Kite Week at the Bonas house, i.e.
Spring Break, I'm struggling being back at school. I like rest. I like
having time to do things that I really enjoy. I work so hard here at
school to have down time that I never enjoy it. Ah well...only one more
year right? or is this the definition of life? Prehearing didn't go as
I wanted. Maybe that's life too. But this is good. It is. Maybe I
needed this failure....well I can't call it that...how about
"non-success". (Trust me, it's different.) I've always let emotion into
my playing, but I've realized that my emotions are inseparably tied to
my playing. All my emotions, stress, anger, depression, confusion, joy,
peace. I play instead of talking to people. What happens when the right
emotions don't correspond with what I'm playing? Distraction...and
sometimes disaster.
I talked to my friend last night who I hadn't talked to in 7 months. I
told her my life is good. When I step back and look at my whole life,
where I've been, where I am, and (even though it's foggy) where I'm
going. I really have a wonderful life (hahaha). Seriously. God is good
to me. Why do I get so easily distracted? The tempter is trying to
"lead us astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ (2
Cor. 11:3)."
Why do I only believe "all for good" when my mom says it?
Why do I only believe "it'll be okay" when my dad says it?
I'm not lost, abandoned, or alone.
"Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water or
oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes
will behold your Teacher, and your ears will hear a word behind you,
"This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the
left." Is. 30:20-21
