Black, White, and Read
Four significant things happened to me today.1) I found a book on surviving New York theatre--it's got all kinds of information, including coaches and classes. I'll probably go back and pick it up a little later, but it's perfect for what I need. A good source, including the different teachers' training, strengths, techniques, teaching philosophies, times, costs, etc, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to find something there!
2) We went to Java Girl, a really, really cool coffee shop near Lourenzo's school, for a treat after school (I get coffee, he gets cookies), and they were playing a black gospel cd, and the first song I heard was a gospel version of "What A Mighty God We Serve." And, you know, even after all these years, the first thing that pops into my head when I hear that song is "Zeroes into Heroes."
3) I donated blood, so I'm officially registered with blood services in Canada and the U.S. now. Plus, the tourniquet-style stretchy bandage they gave me matched my shirt. See? And apparently, I didn't have the same iron-level issues that plague me whenever I give blood at CBS (Canadian Blood Services). I'm usually borderline too anemic for CBS' standards, but they didn't say anything today. So either my iron is up (and it's not because I'm taking my vitamins, because I'm bad at that at the moment!) or else the threshold here is slightly lower. Either way, it was nice not to have to worry about it!
4) I got a job! I was dropping off resumes all over the place, and I filled in an application form at a Barnes & Noble a little further away from Lourenzo's school than I had been applying before, and I actually wasn't even out of the store yet (I was still browsing) when the manager called me back, so I had an interview on the spot! So, pending training, I'll be working in the Starbucks at the B&N. So everyone who said I'd either end up in a coffee shop or a bookstore... you were all right.
And can you imagine the shipping costs of my books when I move back? Heh. And here I didn't bring many with me!

I love that your stretchy thing matched! Mine are always crazy bright that match nothing of me but my personality!
Zeroes into heroes, He does it every day, He changes the least right into the best in the most remarkable way, and what a mighty God we serve!
Don't be too impressed--I had to look it up. And I even wondered if that's what it was from, but decided you probably remembered better than I did--always have!
