I can see clearly now, the rain has gone

Dear Reader,

One of the best feelings in the world is trying to figure something out for months on end and finally understanding it. There is an immense satisfaction in that understanding after trying a million different things to resolve the dilema and finally finding that one piece that was missing. Even better is finding that piece in an obvious spot, thus invoking a feeling of stupidity.

With that said, I have to tell you about my week. That is what a blog is for, right? Well, this blog has that purpose. This week is the start of NCAA March Madness. This is the basketball championship of the year! The best part, though, is our family competition. Each person in our family makes a tournament bracket with our guesses of which teams will win in the competition. Currently I am in third place to win our family competition. Woot! To be honest, the games don't really interest me. I don't remember the last time I watched an NCAA basketball game. The family time makes it worth it. :)

This morning I woke up to a blizzard on my way to class. Yay for snow! I want to have a snowball fight sometime today. I will let you know if that actually happens.

Barbershop is going well. A Capella is going well, too. Actually, we had a great rehearsal on Wednesday when we learned choreography to one of our songs. We are pretty hilarious. :) A great shout to Mikaela! She is kind enough to plan and teach our choreography. She is great and works really hard.

The highlight of my week was talking with my best friends on Facebook. We have a message we all write on. We had not written anything in a few months, so I decided to write something while I was online at midnight. Lo and behold, the majority of us on the message were all online at the same time. It was a fun time and I really enjoyed the time with my best friends. :)

Life is good. We have a great couple of weeks coming up.

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...
