Done

And I couldn't feel better.

The relief I felt after that final presentation this morning was better than any drug out there, guaranteed. I couldn't stop smiling. Freedom.

So tomorrow I go home and have a month to myself. I'll get a job and I'm sure I'll get sick of my parents and living at home and Lafayette, LA. And I'm sure I'll miss stuff up here.

But for now, it sounds absolutely perfect. No complaints whatsoever.

Oh, and I listened to my recital, and I'm much happier with it than I had been. All the stuff that I thought sounded horrible just wasn't that big of a deal. That's pretty typical, I suppose, but it seems like I have to figure it out all over again each time I perform. Maybe someday I'll finish playing and not have regrets, but for now, I'm just glad we have recordings.

Anyway, all is well here; more soon from the South...
