In the event that the world should stop spinning simply because I feel out of whack, please alert my cell phone, tag me in a facebook post, and tweet @ me. Maybe then I'll realize that the center of the universe is somewhere far far away from my ego.
This past week has put a few things into perspective. For starters, I got to see Kristin Chenoweth in person for the first time in my life. She gave a masterclass at the music school to an audience of adoring college students, music theater gays, and distinguished rich white people. The best piece of advice that came out of that 4'11" blonde soprano's mouth didn't actually come out of her mouth, in my opinion. It radiated off her dazzling personality, outstanding confidence, and unmatched sense of humor. After she left the stage, I think every person in Petree auditorium felt moved to be the best person they could ever be, or at least, the best performer, musician, and/or artist. Period.
On a more real note, I owe the university $5,000, which I didn't realize until it was time to enroll for classes earlier this week, which I couldn't, due to the hold on my account. Working on figuring out how to pay that balance off and stay in school has reminded me of how important it is that I be here. And by here, I mean... at OCU, in Oklahoma City, being a college student, studying what I study, being around the people I'm around. It sounds redundant, but in all honesty, I know that I'm supposed to be where I'm supposed to be. In other words, to quote Vicky Leloie Kelly, "Do what you're doing while you're doing it."
I'm a firm believer in things working out for the best.
