the downbreak (opposite)
Ah, well.
"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life..."
would be the (probably misquoted) Nina Simone lyrics that are in my head right now. They seem particularly appropriate to follow my last (un)revealing post. Things have brightened up; I've made my decision and have even spoken with some of the academics whose opinions I highly value. Whereas I felt that these people would not support my decision, they were surprisingly supportive and encouraging. I think I'm reaching a peaceful place--which I believe has had a lot to do with the prayer and encouragement that many of you offered. Thank you for this--the big deal that I keep realizing it is.
Even though I'm not going to proceed with my honors plan, I suppose could still attempt a project revolving around the ideas that I had generated--even if in secret. I imagine that, somehow, I would find satisfaction in the successful completion of a private project... similarly to how I delight in poetry.
I found out this afternoon that a professor friend of mine had nominated me for something related to the Hopwood and that this may have had something to do with my winnings... He told me that he deserves at least $50 of the award money if he finds out he played a role in this award. Funny people.
Sometimes I'm afraid of what I might say and of the fault in all that I do end up saying... perhaps this is why I often opt for silence.

"it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me... ooooo and I'm feeling good"
ba dum ba dum ba dum ba dum da da dum
ba dum ba dum ba dum ba dum da da dum (instruments, not nina)
....
"dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know. butterflies all having fun, you know what I mean. sleeping peace when day is done, that's what I mean. And this old world is new world and a bold world, for me"
...
"OH FREEDOM IS MINE! and I know how I feel. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me"
(this is the best part!)
then she digresses into the whole ba dum di da dum deal and yells,
"AND I'M FEELING GOOD!"
I love that song:) Well quoted, dear Bethany.
