The beginning of something... average?

So I really wish that my life were more interesting. Bahia went to Korea, Steph is in Kolkata, Dan has his pretentious music and all that marriage crap. Everybody has some kind of excitement in their lives, driving them forward and making them feel alive.

Me? I work in a coffee shop, am learning proper musicianship with singing, am a first-year RA, work with clay in all its forms, am events coordinator for my campus's gay-straight alliance and am in general just a ridiculous person trudging through the work of your first few years of college. Just work, meetings, studio time, practice, rehearsal, more meetings, more work, eat, sleep, boring death.

I'm determined to do something amazing with my life. I won't settle for mediocrity. Ever.

I think just the way I'm turning out as a person is evidence enough of that: a gay tenor who makes coffee, pottery, photographs, glass castings and overinvolves himself in almost everything on campus. Most people think I'm a theatre major from my obnoxious, larger-than-life persona, and those who don't know better say I'm good at some things, and in general, I'm a pretty big kind of person.

But I'm just your average overworked college student in the middle of Illinois, working on two fine and performing arts degrees.

I swear, someday soon, I'll do something exciting.
