Caitlin...

Today was not that great of a day school wise. I got my paper back and I got a lower grade than I expected to get. My professor's reasoning for giving me a lower grade did not seem that sound either.

I don't know what it is but I just don't feel that motivated this quarter. Last year and over the summer I had felt really focused and determined but it seems now that it is all slowly dissolving. I cannot explain it.

Other than that, today has been a great day. I went and saw Caitlin tonight at the Donkey and she was so wonderful. She played an open stage set for about 15 minutes and played about 5 songs. Everyone had a glowing review of her performance (although she will be the last person to acknowledge her own success).

Also, I spent some time at Reflections on Sacred Life (an event that Boaz leads) and it was very nice to be there. I picked up the guitar and played a few songs and it actually felt somewhat comfortable for a change.

Where We Used to Live...

It has been one of those saturnine Ohio days that leave you feeling listless and lost.  I haven't been able to do a whole lot of studying today (I think there is a point where everyone just burns out) and so I decided to drive around my hometown a little bit and visit the old spots.  

Here is the house that my family and I lived in from 1992-2004.  Some of my favorite memories were here and I will never forget it.  The place doesn't look a whole lot different than what it used to but it somehow just feels completely different.  I can't put my thumb on it.  It's a strange feeling looking at your old house.  It still feels like you live there but fate has ineluctably changed everything.
