The Art of Responsibility

Responsibility is something learned.
I'm on my own now, braving the cold, harsh world.
and homework.
Classes started today. But even before classes started, there were things that I needed to be responsible for.
A major thing was signing up for choir auditions. The only downside to this was (besides my laziness) the fact that I signed up, then auditioned the next day. They told us when auditions were a while ago, but it hit me then. I was going to audition the next day. But, I had to be responsible. I signed up, auditioned, and got call-backs for the VU Kantorei. :) This is a good thing. So I did the responsible thing, and signed up for a time to audition again tomorrow.
I had to be responsible today for my classes. I had to get up early enough on my own to shower, get ready, and get to CORE class by 10:10. I had to know where the room was, and find it. Then I had to eat fast, and head to German class. I had to know where the building was, but I got lost and had to ask someone.....
[it's literally a 15-minute walk to my german class from my dorm. UH-nnoying.]
And of course, I had to do my homework. I had to write an informal paper, and answer questions in german that I had no idea what they were saying. BUT! That's okay! :) Today and this weekend was awesome, and I am loving every single minute of college.
But I have to say, to my lack of followers reading this, I miss all of you. I think of everyone back home all the time. I love you all :)
So far, I'm having the time of my life. I've made awesome friends, got to play piano with people I didn't know, leaned to say things in German, and walked for miles so far, and there's much more to come.
This part of my painting of life is going really well.
Because, life is a painting. I am painting this part of my life in the way I think is best for me. My friends and family will always be in the painting, but there are new friends that are added. And I love that.
Every day is a new day, and tomorrow's portion of the painting will be something totally different.
Life is good.
Tomorrow, I learn the art of enjoyment.
