I'm still Alive

Dear Reader, 

This week has been one of ups and downs. However, it's going to end on high note because there are a few songs that are going to be stuck in my head for the next few months. One of those is the title of today's post, "I'm still Alive." Why on earth would that be a song that Dale would listen to over and over again to get it stuck in his head? Well, it so happens that it's one of the songs that "The 7 Deadly Sins" are going to be singing. That is the name of an a cappella group I just became part of here at BYU. I'll explain a little more. 

On Tuesday night, the BYU a cappella group had auditions for each of the several groups here. I heard about it on Monday and decided to run over after my Doctrine and Covenants class. I was unusually confident that night and I sang a rendition of "Save the Last Dance for Me" by Michael Buble. After showing a little beat-boxing afterward, they said they would let us know how it went on Friday or Saturday(Today or tomorrow). No later than 2 PM on Wednesday I got an email from the director of "The 7 Deadly Sins" telling me that I made the group and that we're having our first rehearsal this weekend. 

Now, not much is known about what will happen with this group. I have looked up everything I can about them. Apparently it's a relatively new group, having been formed last January. There are obviously 7 members who sing all sorts of different songs, normally from Halloween or gamer themes. A little nerdy, but that's OK. Their latest song was an arrangement of "The Zombie song" by Stephanie Mabey. We'll see how things turn out when we all get together on Saturday Afternoon. :) 


Here's a little taste of something we're doing. ;)

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...
