6 months older and none the wiser

So, yesterday was my half-birthday. Yes, my family celebrates those with my mom baking this wonderful chocolate chip cookie cake. Soooo good. So, I started to think about my life in the past 6 months. It shocked me how much life has changed for me since July. First off, I have a blog...Hm, I never saw that one coming. I just naturally assumed that blogs were for people who had interesting things to talk about (i.e. not me). Either way, I have one, and I use it occasionally. Also, I have severely rethought my graduate school plans. If you had asked me back in July where I was going for my master's degree, I would've rolled my eyes and said, "Duh, BYU." Now I am almost deathly allergic to the idea of staying here for grad school. So what changed? Well, for one, I want to get out and see things. I want to go somewhere different (yeah, Utah is not for me), and I want to learn more. I think if I could take my organ professor with me, I'd do that. He is an awesome teacher and I have enjoyed studying with him, but I need to get away from here. That was big when I decided on that. That's not to say that I would rather not go to grad school at all than stay here. I have a select list of places that I am looking at for school, and should none of them work out then I will stay here for my master's. I also think that I finally have a solid group of friends that help me with anything and everything. I greatly appreciate them for that. I have always sort of been a drifter, not really having a group of friends that I am ALWAYS with, but now I do. I love it. Anyway, I don't care to discuss too much here, but I have enjoyed the path my life has taken in the past six months. Here's to another six that are equally memorable and enjoyable.
