Falling Leaves
Oct. 21st, 2007 05:24 pmI had a really wonderful time at Falling Leaves yesterday, a much better time at an event than I've had in ages in fact. The event itself was lovely and laid back with perfect weather. there was an excellent picnic lunch, a very satisfying game of seven sided backgammon and a great Commedia show, along with some really wonderful hanging out and relaxing with good friends.
Since second semester of my senior year at Simmons I've been suffering from SCA burnout. Being a provost can do that to a girl, especially since my preferred method of horsewhipping my borough into action was to go to every event I could and simply make it so easy for them to get dragged along that everyone went. I've been a Falling Leaves and Mayday SCAdian (somewhat like a Christmas and Easter Catholic) for the most part since passing on the borough and I just haven't really felt called to the Society anymore. I went to see friends, but not really for the game. The few dance practices I'd been going to during vet school left me feeling empty afterwards and I thought maybe my time with the Society was up.
Yesterday showed me that my burnout is finally waning (of course it's happening just as I'm about to enter clinics, but such is life). I felt more like Deirdre than I have for a long time and really enjoyed Falling Leaves as an event just as much I enjoyed the company there and afterwards at
rufinia's birthday dinner. The dance practice I went to in September I actually danced at more than I sat out and I'm looking forward to going back after my ballroom classes are over. Nicely enough it seems that the burnout from dating me while provosting is also wearing off of
laurion and he's looking forward to joining me at dance practice and maybe getting a bit back more into things. I'm still going to miss all the marshal activities I used to do, but fencing and fighting and so on will be there for me when I graduate and can actual put some time into them, it's something to look forward to. for now I'll participate as much as I can and when I get back I'll try to throw myself into things with a bit more temperance than last time so I can enjoy things longer.
