"All things are difficult before they are easy." - Thomas Fuller
This quote popped up on my iGoogle browser the other day. How appropriate, as these past couple months have not exactly been a breeze. But I suppose that you must endure the clouds and storms to get a rainbow.
Drama has been in grand abundance...I feel like the circles of drama in Grey's Anatomy is our life right now. Not cool. I pray very soon much of it will be behind us.
Apartment searching has hopefully come to an end. I shall know in about a week and a half. I found a beautiful townhouse with a wonderful landlord who was ready to hand me keys, a month of no rent, and build any closet I designed! But I stupidly said no because my roommate and I also loved a flat that held a greater convenience factor. It has to be a mutual agreement, too. I may have a lovely flat with my very own balcony and a two minute walk from door to conservatory. However, it was supposed to be ready to look at this Saturday and now will not be ready until next Saturday, which means I cannot go home as I had planned. :( It sucks to be a grown-up sometimes! Csak akarok menni ott honn! I just want to go home. All I'm asking for is a week or two before I have to start back to classes. Trying to live life in two places at once is not easy, especially when both sides are in big transitions, but I will learn to balance and make it work. Just practice for my career, I suppose.

On a happy note, I think I have had a huge break-through in my vocal production! :) It is VERY exciting! My high range is becoming like crystal. My low range is suffering a bit, but it'll settle again as I work with it. Nagyon szeretem énekelni! I love to sing!
For the Independence Day weekend, my friend Bradley came in from out of town. It was crazy! Block parties and cook-outs, 4th of July festivals, a parade, fireworks, a trip to the art museum... There was so much excitement I am not sure any of us knew what to do...it's been awhile since we've had such an eventful few days. It was quite a weekend.
Come the end of it, we were all kind of out of sorts...back to the life of errands, practice, cleaning, and a bit of restless boredom. I know I should enjoy the "nothing to do" time this summer because it certainly won't come very often after this, but it is not always all it is cracked up to be. I guess I like a schedule, a place to be, something that has to be done. However, I certainly do not enjoy the constant list of phone calls that must be made and trying to sort out life for the coming months. I have spent so much time on my cell phone lately that I'll probably get a brain tumor from it. I won't lie...I so much enjoyed not being attached to one while I was in Europe. Yes, they are great and convenient...but they very easily get out of hand and become a constant nuisance.
As promised, the pictures of me climbing a tree...even though that was a really long time ago!
And my parents with their new "toy":

Gratitude 102
I am thankful that my cousin Renee loaned my her pretty purple bicycle for the next year, so that I can zip back and forth to Barb's house for babysitting. Köszönöm szépen, Renee! :)
Your parents rock. I wish my parents would buy one of those!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when you make a breakthrough? It's the best feeling in the world!
I love your tree-climbing pictures. So cute!
