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. :)

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...
