Yes, it has been quite a while.
You might be wondering, "Where has that girl been?!"
Well yes, let me tell you. That girl has been from here to there to everywhere in what is considered to be 'life'. No, my lack of blog devotion the past six months is not due from laziness, lack of inspiration, or lack of time. I have simply lacked in understanding.
From putting forth all of my energies in Spring 2008 to create and organize my internship in Israel (which in the end turned into two internships with the Jerusalem Music Center and The Hand in Hand Israeli Arab Schools) and landing an acceptable study abroad program that would let me sneak by without a student visa (which put me in lovely Paris, France studying at the Sorbonne), to actually leaving America and my normal lifestyle in May 2008 for seven months to be the foreigner, and then to returning to America in late December 2008 to a new instrument, a new choice of major, and new family and personal situations, and then to finally reaching this point in July 2009 when the whirlwind finally came together again.
Yes, my statement of being "here to there to everywhere" holds its truth, as well as the record for the longest sentence I have ever written in my life. Good luck saying all of that in one breath. Now the real enlightening question is not why or what, but rather how; how to untangle such a mess of memories, thoughts, words, and letters. Shall we?
