my life has been going pretty good overall lately. for the past 2 wks I've been working part time at my old engineering job and going to school. now school is on break and i'll be working full time until school starts back, at which time i'll stop working. i don't mean to brag, but what i'm about to tell you is so cool i can't help but share it. my previous employer contacted me asking if i could help out some. i did some research and found that contract workers typically make 50-100% more than full time employees doing the same job. so it turns out that if they allow me to work in the summer too at the same rate they're currently paying me, I'll be close to breaking even for the year. it feels pretty good to be putting myself through college without completely draining my bank account. and right now my job is so much better than it was before because now i'm just a worker/helper and no longer have all the stress and headaches of managing the project. its amazing how well this is working out. its a 15 minute drive from my apt to work or from my apt to school. its kind of fun getting see my old co-workers too.
my school schedule was different for the past 2 wks. i've been working with the dancers (modern), composing music for the student choreographers. i am now a big fan of modern dance. never before have I been in a situation where i've interacted with so many beautiful women on any type of consistent basis. they seem very happy and passionate, like their life is a joy to live. its been very cool working w/ them the past 2 wks.

this was also the first time i had gone head to head against many of the other composition students and i have to say i've got my work cut out for me. their stuff was very impressive. intimidating but not disheartening. i feel like i could share a stage with them but i'm going to have to really start digging in and working hard.
