Feelin a little crazy

I woke up this morning dreading work, and yet still, here I am. Sitting. I couldn't sleep well last night for some reason - could be any number of reasons - nausea from the pill, the food I ate last night, back pain, whatever. I tried to have coffee and now I feel jittery, and that never happens to me!

Maybe I just need to rest. Unfortunately, there's so little time for that.

Anyway, I have a camera now, that beauty of a thing arrived in the mail about a week ago, thanks to Aya. It's SO nice though, I'm too scared to USE it! I tried so hard not to lose my last camera, it was so amazing, and then it was randomly lost for reasons beyond my control.

So, Maui trip. It was very cool.

I don't think I've ever had such a taiko intensive couple of days before, in my whole life, but considering I've only been playing taiko since my first year at UCLA that's not saying much. It was definitely a chance for me to test myself, challenge my ability to perform and play, all that kind of thing. And despite the seemingly intense physical exhaustion, I loved it.

Learning new stuff is always great, and especially these first few months, that's what my time with KETE is all about. That, and getting to know everyone better is such a plus. I think every week I have more and more fun with them all. I think I'm excited too, for what's to come the remaining...12 or so months of my time here.

Work in general is okay, I guess. Today's just one of those downer days I think. Or, well, mornings at least. It's only 10 am, but it feels like I've been here for 8 hours already.

Here's to hoping it gets better!
