Coming to an end...in a sense

Dear Readers,

Today I realized a lot of things pertaining to the end this coming Semester. On the funny side of things, it will be interesting to see how everyone reacts when there's no one there to play warm ups on Tuesday Morning. You see, I have dropped Concert Choir in order to take an Institute class. A pretty fair deal, don't you think?

On a slightly sadder note, however, there will be some people that I may not see all that often this next semester. There are most likely people that you know that you never would have met had it not been for Seminary. Today brought emphasized the fact that some of the people in my Seminary Class I might never see again, depending on whether we bump into each other in the hallway. Not to mention I'm going to Sister Thomas, being the wonderful teacher and friend she is. The same idea crossed my mind during Chemistry when I realized that next semester I'll be in a different Class and won't be able to laugh with my new-found chemistry buddies. I love those guys. :)

One of the hardest hitting thoughts involves high school as a whole. This is my last semester of public Education, which brings about thoughts of what it might have been like. I imagined that this semester would be filled with several empty hours in the day with which I would spend in the music building either practicing or listening to other groups. It's sad, but also happy, that I will instead be spending my time finishing up classes such as Health and english and other classes that are useless to me. Don't get me wrong, other people may love them, which is good, but I only take them because they're required.

All in all, this should be an interesting Semester that may be the best I've ever experienced. Hope to see you all around, despite what our schedules may be like!

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
