Canada Sounds Nice Right Now

This has been the week of good conversations. First Ez and I had a really good talk and then my mom and I had a heart to heart. It feels good to get stuff out there. I've also talked to more friends in the past couple of days than I've talked to in weeks. I guess I'm starting to pull out of my slump and beginning to feel social again.

I started a new job at Marie Callender's. I'm a hostess/cashier and believe it or not, I really like it! The people there are really nice and not all 16-year olds as I feared. Most of the guests are kind (quite a contrast from the Camelback) and treat us well. I'm glad I have a job that keeps me busy. I HATE being bored at work; time passes so slowly.

So, I've been up all night. It's not so surprising since I pretty much slept all day yesterday. I'm sure I'd be sleeping if I didn't have to be at work at 8.

I'm really missing all of you guys in Eau Claire this week. I wish I could be there for JazzFest. Make sure you have extra fun on my behalf.

Well, I'm going to go make a pot of coffee, so I can get through my day.

Love you and miss you all!

I like to copy my sis

Hey.

My sister Katie did this Johari Window thingy & I thought I'd fill one out. If you've got a minute, try it. I'd like to see what you think. http://kevan.org/johari?name=Heather+Sessler

I hope you all are well. I'll write soon. I'm way too tired now.

All my love,

H

I Think There's Something Wrong With Me

Yesterday I fell asleep on the couch at about 5:30pm, only to wake up at 8:30pm to go to my room. I fell back asleep pretty quickly and woke up at 3:00 this afternoon!! How the hell is that possible? Maybe I have mono or something. My mom wants me to call my doctor since all I want to do is sleep. My doctor said that fatigue is the hardest part of pneumonia. Boy was she right!

Gah, I guess I should go to bed. It's after 2:30.

Goodnight.

Maria part deux

I'm just so excited for Ez, that I have to write about his amazing experience. He went to go hear a great group of musicians including Brian Blade, Nicholas Payton, Chris Potter (and some others that I can't remember) at Dizzy's. He had to wait in the "no reservations" line, when he saw Maria Schneider just up a couple of feet in the "reservations" line. Anyway, to make a long story short, Ez struck up a conversation and she asked him to join her since her date couldn't make it. Ez got to sit with Maria for the whole show!!! It must be a sign. I run into her 9 days ago (and she remembered me by the way) when I was in the city and now Ez gets to hang with her. We're all going to be friends, I've decided. : )

I can't wait to move to New York. There might even be a possibility to sublet our friend's apartment in the East Village while she's in Paris. She gets super low rent, so that would help a lot with finances for the first year.

I'm watching "Iron Chef America" battle breakfast. Mmmmmmm, breakfast. Maybe I'll make waffles. . .

Oh, there are a bunch of new quizzes. I shall take them!

You Are a Little Messy

You aren't the cleanest person in the world, but you're definitely not a slob. You clean up when you have the time, but you're realistic about what you can get done. Generally, you're pretty organized and tidy - though you may have a few hidden messes. You eventually get around to making things spotless, but you do it on your own schedule!

Are You Messy?

I'm actually really messy. I'm not gross though. Nothing smells!

You Have Your Emotions in Check

You are an incredibly stable and happy person. Ever consider being a therapist? You have figured out how to keep a positive outlook, no matter what. You don't have an easier life than anyone else. You just have figured things out a little more.

Can You Keep Your Emotions in Check?

Hmmmm.

Your Androgynous Name Is:

Okay, that's it for now.

Thinking of you friends!

Watch out Boise. . .

I got my driver's permit today. EEK!

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are wise, insightful, and brilliant. Your wit is sharp and occasionally hurtful... Revealing your scorn for people with less intelligence. Underneath it all, you feel burdened by the stupidity of humanity. You know what's right in the world, but it's overshadowed by everything that's wrong. People see you as arrogant. While this is partially true, you are also very sensitive.

What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

Um, they may be on to something.

Your Scandinavian Name is:

Brigit Ingrid

What's Your Scandinavian Name?

Sweet! I was actually pondering a move to Helsinki. First I've gotta learn Finnish. . .

I'll keep it brief.

I don't really like writing complete paragraphs. Sometimes I don't even like sentences.

I went to New York for the weekend.

I think I walked nearly 10 miles on Saturday.

We won $25 tickets to "Wicked" on Saturday. It was actually really good. I miss doing theater.

I'm getting my permit this week.

I had to run to catch my flight in Phoenix. Enough with the short layovers people!

I had dinner with Randy on Saturday! Boy, did I miss that guy. I miss all of my EC friends.

I saw Ivan Lins at the Blue Note. He was fantastic! Then I saw Maria Schneider as she was walking out. I blurted out that my dream is to play in her band someday. She talked to me for a couple of minutes and was super nice. She said she'd keep her eye out for me.

The Manhattan School of Music's dorms have security like a prison. Geez.

I just watched the end of "Mad Hot Ballroom." I really like that movie.

My mom just had knee surgery.

I can't wait to move to New York.

I don't know.
