Been Awhile

So I just realized how I get stuff done. Last night I was playing Guitar Hero World Tour with my family (Geof, Alisha, RayD, and Alonzo) and while I was rocking out on the drums and guitar, I stopped for a second. I stopped to really look at the screen and I for the first time noticed just how fast those colored lights were appearing on screen. But as fast and as multi-layered they came, I was able to hit about 97% of them. It's so funny because just over a year ago, when I first picked up that silly little guitar controller, I couldn't get through 25% of a song on Easy! Now I can easily score 95 % on medium. If someone were to tell 18 year Jewely that at 29 I would be in my 8th year of teaching (middle school students, yikes), married for over 3 years, living in a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath house, coaching the 5/6th grade volleyballt team twice a week afterschool, being the student council advisor, and being a graduate student at Fresno State, I would have dropped that controller and said no way, I can't do that. But it's funny, just like I play Guitar Hero, I can zone out and focus on the indivdual parts of the task at a time and before I notice it, I've completed my song pretty successfully. Now, once again, just like with Guitar Hero, by no means am I at the Expert level, but slowly but surely, I'm trying to get there, one flashing light at a time. By the way, Guitar Hero may be silly, but it sure is fun.
