music makes my heart happy

So, I have totally been ignoring my poor blog...

These past few weeks have been pretty heavy. There was a shooting at the Holocaust Museum which is really close to where I am. I was outside cleaning the sculptures and heard the ambulances, and saw the helicopters circling. A man was shot and killed. I don't know, that just chills my bones. People here don't seem to think twice about it, maybe they are just desensitized from the sniper thing, maybe they are just acting strong, I have no idea.

I have gotten a really bad case of the home sick bug. I missed my friend's wedding, and my sisters graduation. I feel like I am out here in an alternate reality or something. Things that I should be a part of I am not. I didn't really feel this way when I was in Spain because it was so new and so captivating.

However this will not be a completely depressing entry lol. I have prayed a lot, and have been reading my bible. God has answered my prayers in so many ways. I've started sketching again (I think I am inspired by all of the artists I work with) and listening to up lifting music. I think the type of music I listen to directly correlates to my mood. I honestly listened to that bad day song a few days ago, while I was throwing myself a pity party - pathetic I know.

I guess what I am trying to say through all this rambling is that this experience is going to be exactly what I make of it, and I am going to make it an awesome one!
