Could Someone Please Show Me The Way Up?

Man!!! What a terrible night!!! It was absolutely horrible!! Well, it started out that way...

In case you didn't know. I'm trying to join the music fraternity up here at Appalachian. However, my horn professor is dead set against me joining for some reason. She has made my life miserable! Up until this point, it was only between me and her, and all she had done was fuss at me. Tonight however, that changed.

It was after Samantha's and Chris's recital. They both did so well! Chris looked quite handsome, and Samantha was looking quite radiant. It was a perfect night. Note the word "was". At the reception after the recital, everyone was still there. Sam and Chris had just gotten in the room when my horn professor got into a shouting match with the past president of PMA. Of course, what they were shouting about was me joining...

I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed, hurt, and ashamed. I couldn't help myself. I just had to come back here and cry. Boy did I cry. I cried at least an hour, probably longer. I just couldn't take it anymore!

However, since then the night has gotten a little better. After an nice conversation with my favorite girl in the world, I've managed to calm down some. Don't know how she does it, but I always end up smiling...

Well, tomorrow is another day. Wait, not just any day... it's Valentine's Day!! It's here! Tomorrow should be a day in which to find miracles everywhere.

May God keep you this and every night.

Where there is great love there are always miracles.
