" When you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen" These words have always sounded great, but i have often doubted their truth, that is until this weekend. You see, there was a work event in cape cod this friday-saturday, and i was desperately trying to get there. That being said, i had a concert on friday, and a dress rehearsal saturday morning. this was not going to work out for me. Well, Thursday night, my choral director said he was cancelling our AM dress rehearsal. WAHOO. Well, my car is messed up, and was certainly not making it to Cape Cod and back, so I was attempting to get a ride from someone else going who could go after my concert, Until they moved the concert to 3:30 instead of 3 and then added another ensemble. When i realized that i would not make it out of school in time to catch a ride, i was so frustrated and cursing fate in my head. I sent the messages telling my uplines that I was not going to make it down and I was sorry, and then messaged the girl i was sharing a room with. This is where my weekend turned around! She told me that she had to come back this way and could pick me up and bring me to the event.! " When you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen" I was overjoyed. I haven't missed one of these events since i started with this company last june, and was not ok with missing it. Well, she came back for me, but got here at 2:45am, we got in the car, somehow managed to stay awake, and made it back to Cape Cod in time to see the sun begin to rise over the ocean
As soon as i shut my eyes, i was up again at 7am and it was time to get dressed, and head down to the Saturday events ( which were incredible)
We are launching a new product at the end of the year, and I was literally salivating at the concept and the success i'm sure it is going to have! I cannot wait to be able to offer this service to my clients!
Our team won attendance awards in all but 1 category, which is amazing! i am so proud of these people, and so proud to be working with them on their team. I hope that in the near future, my actions will make them as proud of me as i am of them!
Then of course, after miraculously making it home without me or my friend falling asleep, it was another dress rehearsal and a concert that went so amazingly well! It's a great life when you can go from an awesome weekend of learning to an awesome night of singing!!!!
Today was much more low key, just some studying, and a 2 meetings with the CTNAfME collegiate council.
I'm still not sure how this weekend worked out so well from beginning so horribly, but it is true, so often in this endevour i have taken up, i feel like i was constantly coming up against road blocks, this weekend, the universe let me have my meager success, and i look forward to the future success that awaits.
