Thank yous



Dear Readers,

I would just like to take some time and recognize some people who are amazing and don't always get the recognition they deserve.

First off, Ms. Boucher has done a wonderful job with the musical over at the Junior high my family all attended. She put countless hours of work into a show that turned out spectacular, despite what the talented(yet somewhat immature) young people she works with. Thank you, Lindsay!
Of course Mr. Ulmer deserves a big thank you. Not only him, but his wonderful family. If I recall correctly, his wife and kids came to every performance of the show and many of the rehearsals. Thank you Ulmer and Family!
Mr. Jackson, though a kid in many ways, shares his time diligently to progress the musical. Big thank you to him for working the music with everyone.

Thank you to Mr. Florence for his great ideas. We all should give him another educator of the year award.
Thanks to Mr. Bateman for spending so many hours doing everything that needs to be done. Not only teaching during the day, but hours spent at obscure high schools for festivals, hours spent providing music for school events, doing paperwork for music competitions and the many measures he takes to make life easier for everyone at olympus. And at home. His family is great and you can tell they all love each other.

Thank you to those who keep me in line and keep me going, everyone and anyone who may do that. I'm obnoxious, I know. Thanks for putting up with me and making my life almost too easy to live. Thanks to those who know who I am and how to deal with my mannerisms.

There are many more to thank, but I cannot possibly list them all. Thank you to everyone in my life. Here's to a better tomorrow. :)

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

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...
