Esther, sugarwinx, parting, operaland
...
When I saw Angeliki's status, I hoped it wasn't true, that Sugarwinx, pictured here with her beloved BB, had taken down her blog, but when I investigated I learned the truth is far worse than my assumption; that our Esther has passed away in a house fire in her sleep. I don't want that to be true. I want to see her witty banter across opera in days and days ahead. I want to read more of her posts full of color, shine and sparkle. I want to see her beautiful smile again and again.
I removed myself from my life and from myopera for so long while I wandered deeper and deeper into that dark depression cave. I assumed that the people that brightened my day that and I considered friends would always be there when I returned. I've taken people for granted while I was in my darkness. Don't you take anyone for granted, in this operaland or in the rest of your world. This life is but a vapor and gone too soon.
We are parted from our Esthersugar. Rest Peacefully, Dear Girl.

beauty, photography, darkness, focus
...
For some time I wanted to join 365 Photos, but I never did it. I didn't think I would be able to keep up with taking pictures and posting them for every day. I didn't think I could do it, so I didn't try. Well, I decided to try. I'm really glad I am because I really enjoy it. It helps me to look around and not be so trapped in my head. It helps me to focus outward and not so much on myself. It helps me to look for the beautiful things around me instead of only seeing darkness everywhere. It's only been 5 days, so I still don't know that I'm not going to punk out yet. I am full of intent to carry through, with this but with my life, school, and moving forward. I supppose it's one of Henry Ford's, "Whether You Think You Can or Can't, You're Right," type of things. I think that I can.
This is a picture that didn't get posted in the album form my very first day of trying. I didn't even know that I could direct the focus of the camera myself and poor Lily lost focus to the flowers. I'm such a point and clicker 
My heartfelt reccomendation is that anyone interested make a go at it, You never know until you try. I like looking for photos as I go through the days. I like seeing beauty. You might too.

return!, summer class, work, absence
...
Answer:
Mostly at the library. The story goes like this. Summer classes at my school are done in one week from 8 am to 6 pm with about 3 weeks afterward to do all the work that would regularly go into a semester. So, being a genius I decided to take theology the week before the start of the fall semester in which my classes include, Greek , psych of the family and marriagec, counseling methods (which I ended up having to drop bc of the workload), speech, and of course a philosophy class- religion in the public square. So the past several weeks have been without a doubt the most challenging ever, because I also aquired 2 jobs at this same time. What fun. If I haven't been working, I've been studying. however, as of this afternoon, I've turned in several papers and tests for both summer and fall classes and survived my first Greek Exam.
I apologize for my sudden extended absence. If I left anyone hanging on anything or let anyone down. I really really am sorry. I have missed this operaland very much, and I hope you will take me back and that you are all doing fabulously well. I look forward to visiting, catching up on past posts, commenting, and makeing some new posts myself. the rest of the semester can't possibly be as hard as the beginning.

camp, sister, family, operaland
I've had a great week drifting around OperaLand and meeting new Friendly People. I'm leaving the big city (Louisville~Ky) for home and the rural southern Indiana life for a bit. One of my sisters has some special needs and is going to camp for the first time. She isn't ready to go alone, so I'm going as a Big Sister and Big Kid but Cleverly Disguised as a Responible Adult Camp Counselor so that we can have this experience together.
I'm entirely certain that pictures will be taken, poems will be written, and
funny things will happen to be recounted and posted among the unruly games played
, popsicle stick crafts made, and campfires burned along the way.
Don't cause too much trouble while I'm gone
