So I'm going to Austin this fall! I don't remember what I posted
last time, but Northwestern didn't come through for me with financial
aid. It's too bad that I can't go there, but UT is a great
school, and Austin will be such an awesome city to live in! Plus,
they gave me a full tuition scholarship! I'm looking at places to
live right now.
The weather has been incredible... I love this time of year in Tennessee because it actually feels like spring, unlike in Texas where it's already topping 100 degrees. And some people from here have the audacity to complain about the weather?! I just don't understand it!  I'm trying to spend as much time outside as possible. Anyone want to go biking with me?
Yesterday I played piano and saxophone at a wedding in Kentucky -
Grace's brother got married and she asked me and Tyler to play. I
had so much fun - it was my first wedding to play for. The
weather and the landscape there was gorgeous - it was a little like
Texas but a lot greener; we took some pictures, which I will proceed to
display here, thus enticing you to continue to read my blog.
Mullets abounded (well, just names for mullets; only one was actually
spotted). And I accidentally left my wallet at the church, so we
had to turn around. We found an open door at the church and spent
an hour searching the place. We were thinking about spending the
night at the church when I finally realized that I had taken it out of
my pocket by the swingset. It was still there, thank God.
I'm really concerned that I'm losing my mind. No, really. I
keep doing these kinds of things. I think it's getting worse and
I don't know what to do about it.
Other fun and exciting things have been happening.
We played my congregational song in the liturgy this morning. It
went pretty well - the people who knew I had written it were very
complimentary. But someone forgot to print my name in the worship
guide, and Thomas forgot to announce it, so it was just sung as if it
were a standard that we printed up from somewhere. I don't care
if they give me credit for it; that's not why I wrote it. But I
imagine it would be good for the people to know that the music they are
singing was actually made up by a member of their own community.
And it would have been nice to have my work recognized in some
way. Now, if I want people to know that I wrote it, I'm going to
have to tell them myself, which I don't enjoy doing at all.
I'm going to clean the apartment up and lay low today; I am coming down with a cold. And I'm going to listen to Madeleine Peyroux all day.
