Do you want to build a snowman?

Dear Reader,


Today's title comes from the recent Disney film, "Frozen." It was a GREAT show. The balance between comic relief and the story line created a very fluid exchange for the audience. One of my favorite aspects of the movie was the plot. The main goal of the protagonists was to solve a misunderstanding between two people, rather than trying to overcome a powerful, evil force. Of course evil exists all around in the movie, but the main story is based on a simple misunderstanding between two sisters.

Another wonderful contribution to the quality revolved around the love story. There are a couple songs that perfectly illustrate two different important attributes of a good relationship: "Love is an open door" and "Fixer Upper." The first is an exchange between the two lovers talking about how open their relationship is, despite any craziness that there may be. The latter is sung by the family of the one of the lovers and tells the listener that a person can look past the flaws of another, loving them the same way.

All that said, here is an update on my life. I have been seeing a lot of a young woman lately. We have had lots of fun getting to know each other, even though we are still getting to know more. Much more. However, I mention these songs about a good relationship because they are two things I'm working on while spending many wonderful hours with her. I like her a lot. :)

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

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...
