I had a good day today, accepting its flaws. I got a refund check from ASU and a really cute card from my grandma--apparently she dyed her hair. Shocking. Mom bought a beautiful white baby grand piano today-sooo excited, it's going to be so fabulous! And school, well, you know, it goes. I realized today that I really am a detail-oriented person. I think I often miss the big picture because I'm too focused on its pieces. I spend so much time organizing things and focusing in being on top of things, that I miss the time to really accomplish tasks. It is necessary for me to be organized before working; to see the top of my desk before putting a book back on it. That's just the way I am. Just like how I can't focus in a group of people, but do better with just a few intimate friends. Just how in crowds I can't talk to a person and look them in the eye, but find my self constantly searching around the room. Which explains why in the photography field, I prefer close-ups. And what does this all mean, exactly? It means I will have to really froce my self to step away once in a while. I'll have to pull my eyes to the back of my head and really SEE what's on the agenda. It means tomorrow not only will I have homework to do, but I also need to get back to writing my query letters and looking up agents. It means tomorrow night I'm going to have to focus on real pieces for publication. Will this be hard? Eh, yeah. But hey, like the little engine that could, if I think I can... I will. Carrie
