Sigh...

My apologies for not posting in a while. School is absolutely ridiculous. Mock trial and my nameless teammates' over the top enthusiasm are driving me crazy. At this point, I could care less how well we do at regionals, I just want it to freaking be over... ...JSA and winter congress coming up-something I'm definitely looking forward to, but still alot of work and research. Got a précis for a book I hated due tomorrow, and after that, a term paper. My starting question is "What is joy?", but I'm still in the process of compiling resorces and coming up with a thesis. I might post it on here when it's finished, but it depends on how optimistic I'm feeling that day.



Music is al so pretty crazy. My amazing teacher has decided to torture all her violists during the month of February with the excuse of it being the "Forth Finger Festival". Needless to say, my pinkie is about to fall off and I've developed what used to be a love-hate relationship with Kreutzer #9 into just a hate relationship.

The "Forth Finger Festival" is actually not the end of it however. I'm working really hard on preparing most of Bach's first Cello Suite to preform at a benefit concert for Mr. Sweet, a father who recently passed away leaving a family of five behind. The concert is sometime in early April at my church. I know there's a fixed date, but I'm just not sure what it is.



Anyway, saw Up in the Air and Kill Bill Vol. 1. Two totally different movies, but I loved them both. I had seen most of Kill Bill before, but it was a while ago and honestly I had forgottten how bad ass that movie really is. Up in the Air was really good too-good directing and three very strong lead preformances.


Anyway, this whole post is the result of my procrastination. Got a couple posts coming if my school allows. We'll see about the weekend.
