Harmonia Mundi trip tomorrow! (Calm ... or not so calm ... before the storm!)

Hi all. I'm kinda nervous! Well, not totally nervious, but anxious about this Harmonia Mundi trip! It's very simply the fear of the unknown. I wouldn't take back this opportunity for one millisecond though, of course. I wonder how other peoples' adverturesomeness works - because sometimes I feel like mine involves a recognition of my apprehension to do something unknown, and then the desire not to be an apprehensivive person, and not to be afraid, and so I throw myself into it just hoping for the best outcome. It's not fearless, at all. And I don't know if it makes me someone with an assertive personality, but I just don't want to be someone who is afraid of those things. So even when I AM afraid, I do them anyway. Perhaps that's a characteristic of it's own: fearful but full speed ahead, rather than either fearful, or completely full speed ahead. It's all because I want to be that person, and not just because I already am that person.

I'm 25. That's actually starting to peek it's way into real adulthood, ha! I hope that jeans can remain my staple attire.

I was so upset this morning when my new haircut looked like a teenager's unkept mop. I mean, I got really upset about it! To really put off the air of confidence and professionalism, I have to feel confident and professional, and it's hard to do that while constantly trying to peer from underneath the swash of hair that's completely covering one eye or by looking like I didn't brush my hair for 6 days. Impressions DO matter, at least at first. It's all one can make of another to begin. But alas, I think the hairstylist cut my hair to look good when parted on the opposite side that I always parted it, because when I tried switching it around, it actually looked nice. Hair hair hair. There's just a lot of STUFF for a woman to take care of to look professional, it seems. We have hips and thighs and boobs to fit into clothes professionally, makeup if we choose to wear it, and a million variations between short hair and long hair to choose from, with judgements to fall upon each of those choices. You can't be careless about that when it comes to presenting yourself well, either. It's a show of effort.

And at the same time, with all that said, I could very easily find myself among blue jeans and nice/casual button-ups.

Anyway - off I go! I'll be taking lots of pictures and if I have time, I might even post some while I'm there!

Look forward to telling you all about it!
