I have senioritis so bad its not even funny. I still care about getting good grades in all my classes, but I don't feel like doing any of the work for it. Photography I still enjoy. I hate senior sem and math however. I hate writing for senior sem. 12 journals over the course of the semester and a huge ass "life view" paper that I haven't ( Read more... )

I'm playing with the Holland Symphony Orchestra for their concert. We're playing Verdi's Requiem. The Hope Chapel Choir and a couple other choirs are joining us as well. I think it'll be pretty fun. HSO isn't the best orchestra in the world and not an orchestra I'd like to play in for the rest of my life, but they've got heart, and I like that ( Read more... )

I'm scarred for life. lol Anyways, Devos makes for a really long day. We left at 3:30 and didn't get home until almost 11. yuck ( Read more... )

So we survived playing Beethoven's Eroica last night. Holy cow. That concert was exhausting. I was ready to cry at the last line of that symphony I was so tired and glad that we got through it. Not only is that symphony hard and tiring, its emotionally exhausting. Talk about a lot of emotions you have to express in the span of 45 minutes. oye ( Read more... )

My Music Lit class and a bunch of other people from the music department went to Grand Rapids to see the opera The Marriage of Figaro. It was amazing. I absolutely loved it. So funny. Mozart is the man. lol

Go to youtube and type in Achmed the Dead Terrorist and click on the one that has 10min 47 sec. Hilarious. I about pee my pants every time I watch it.
