My break was wonderful! I had pretty busy days on Friday and Saturday. We had a meeting for STARs, went to a concert, and did homework Friday night. Saturday morning I worked at Homestead. The wind ensemble had the opportunity to have a booth set up, advertising the music program. Because most of the wind ensemble members were either working with bands or going home for break, I volunteered to work a six hour shift. I wasn't too excited about it because it was part of my weekend off, but it really ended up being fun. I spent the rest of that night doing more homework. On Sunday, I went home and attempted to finish up my homework. On Monday, I made myself take the day off. I ran a few errands, practiced a little bit, and just sat on the couch for most of the day...it was awesome! That evening, my dad and I went to a choir concert at my old high school. It was so weird to only know a handful of the people performing! Then came Tuesday. I headed back to Fort Wayne and did a little more homework. I felt pretty good about my weekend :).
Then came Wednesday...

I took a few days off over the weekend, and after just one class, I already felt behind. We had a listening exam in Music History which, I admit, I wasn't totally prepared for (apparently most of the class wasn't either). I tried not to let it get my down because I knew I wasn't ready for it, but I hate not feeling good about tests. Then I had my voice lesson. I did practice over the weekend but I was so tired and cold that I felt as though I hadn't even said a word for a week, let alone worked on my pieces. Thankfully my teacher helped me push through it and put a smile on my face as always. The rest of my classes that day weren't too bad thankfully.
That evening, one phone call made my day.

I was sitting in my car and flipping through my contacts when I came across the Eye Clinic's number. I haven't worn contacts for just over 8 months now and have had little to no pain for at least 5 of those months...I want to wear contacts again. On a whim, I called the number and explained the situation. The woman who answered the phone said I can try my contacts again! She said as long as the pain and/or extreme dryness isn't there, I don't need to wear my glasses! It was an early birthday present. :)

I'm glad this is only a three-day week but I hope I can be content with where I'm at with my school work and general feelings on life. We'll see!
