I don't want to list the cliche answers: friends, family, SAI sisters. Not that I'm NOT thankful for those...certainly I am. But I want to post other things. :)

1. I have Tietze Syndrome but I haven't had as many attacks lately, and I'm so glad, because they're painful.

2. I'm thankful for new friendships. In the past year, I have become close with about 4 people who I've known for a long time (because we're all in the music department), but never really got to know until more recently, and these people have become some of my best friends. One, a guy named TJ, actually transferred to Memphis but he found my livejournal so we've been chatting. I knew him for the last 3 years but never really got to know him. NOw that I have, I'm sad that I didn't know him sooner. But, better a late start than no start. :)

3. I'm thankful for musical talent. Being a music major is so stressful, demanding, and tiring...but I can't think of a more rewarding career. While my non-music friends are doing labs and endless research papers and whatnot, I take saxophone lessons. I learn to arrange music for different types of ensembles. I learn to conduct large ensembles. I play lead in our jazz band. Not that these are easy courses...HELL NO. They're just as challenging, I promise. But pursuing something as a career that has always been such an integral part of my life is a great thing. And even if my classes are hard, I'd rather be playing my instrument/conducting/studying music theory than anything in the world. Not everyone has an ear for music, but for whatever reason, God decided to hand that ability to me, and I plan to further and develop my art throughout my life.

4. I'm thankful for livejournal. I know that's weird...but lj has helped me stay connected with friends, both ones who I see every day and those who have graduated or moved away. We keep up with each others lives and have our own little community there. I always look forward to reading everyones' daily entries and their comments on mine.

5. I'm thankful to simply BE in college. No one else in my family (besides my brother) got the opportunity to go.

I'm thankful for my family, friends, and of course my wonderful phi mu sisters! I'm thankful that I have the life that I have. I tend to sometimes forget that my life really is pretty damn good compared to the lives some people have, so I don't need to complain.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY!! :D
