Back into it!

I love marathon-ing shows. For those unaware of what I mean by that, let me explain. It's when you buy the season DVD and over the course of a few days you watch the entire season. The reason I like doing this so much is for the following reasons:
#1: I am usually very busy during the week nights when the shows actually play.
#2: I don't have to wait a week to deal with the suspense!
#3: It's a fun friend activity for a boring weekend or a rainy/snowy day.
So, anyway...a couple years ago I marathon-ed the first season of LOST and I got way into it. I then marathon-ed the 2nd season a year later. When the third season started I watched some episodes and then I got busy and I lost track of it and I just stopped watching it all together. Now, the 4th season starts on the 31st and ABC.com is doing some sort of a promotional thing where ALL 3 seasons of LOST are online...FOR FREE. So, the past few days I have watched a few episodes a day and I finished the 3rd season. NOW I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL the 31st!!! I am going to try really hard this season to keep up with watching it at its scheduled Thursday night slot...but if it doesn't work out...I can always marathon it next year! :)
LOST is such a good show. If you don't watch it...you should. End of story. Later, gators!

Happy Belated Birthday, MLK!

So, Martin Luther King Jr. came into the world on January 15, 1929 and now I get a day off from school...6 days after his actual birthday. Oh well...Happy Belated Birthday! :)

The Class Of 1944 Hall...

Hello all. I thought I'd take the opportunity tonight to tell you a little bit about the building in which I spend most of my time. The Class of 1944 Hall was named after the class that donated the money to its creation. I believe it was built around 10 years ago, and it houses the School of Performing Arts facilities. I rarely leave this building during the day, as most of my classes are inside. The first picture of the hallway is the hallway I walk down every morning to get to class. On the ceiling performing arts quotes are written and there is almost always music coming from the speakers connected to the ceiling as well. It's a really cheery way to the start the day. The benches are infamous. I took the picture in the evening, but during the day there are ALWAYS music students sitting there waiting for classes to begin, studying, and just hanging out. The last picture is of me showing off the fliers board. The huge bulletin board stretches the length of one wall and has TONS of fliers about different performing arts events and opportunities. All in all, The Class of 1944 Hall is a really nice place to spend my day. :) Later gators!

My homeboy...

My Obama t-shirt came in the mail today! Isn't it cute? I'm excited to wear it at some point this week. Well, I already posted earlier today, but I just wanted to show ya'll my t-shirt. :)

First day back + a snow day!

It's not the best quality photo, but I took that from the window in the hall outside of my room. It's snowing so hard! Classes after 2:00 were canceled, so I got out of one class, but I had three classes this morning. They went well. It's three straight hours of classes, though, so that's kind of tiring. At 9am I had sight singing, which was fine. 10am I had German which I think is going to be a fun class and interesting. Then at 11am I had piano class and so many of my friends are in that class so it's really fun!
Okay, well Alyssa and I are watching a movie, a perfect activity for a snowy day. It's supposed to snow all through the night too so we'll see what happens with classes tomorrow!

I think I know now...

I found this picture on flickr...
(http://www.flickr.com

It's of "A DC public school student protest[ing] the use of hundreds of millions of tax dollars to build a new baseball stadium in Washington, DC, rather than fix ailing schools."
I think I know now, for sure, what I want to do with my life, and it's not from this picture...but this picture enhances my desire to teach in the inner city. Some people think I am crazy for wanting to do this, but I don't find it crazy. Music, for me, was readily available in my school with a fantastic music teacher. I want to be the Mrs. Beaudoin for kids in a place where it seems like there is no hope. I am sure it would be frustrating because I might be able to only reach 1 student out of hundreds, but knowing that through my teaching a student chose a life better than the one they are destined to would be worth it for me. I feel like I could do this.
We'll see if that's where life takes me.

B to the A to the R-A-C-K-O-B-A-M-A!

WOOOO my man has won Iowa and with any luck he'll win New Hampshire and then the presidency (knock on wood!). Some people, namely old geezers hehe, think he hasn't done enough to prove that he'd be a good president, but I just have faith in him. I think his ideas are best, I think he delivers his ideas well, and how can you go wrong with that smile?
Now, don't get me wrong...I'd be happy if any democrat was in office, but if Obama (or Hillary) won not only would there be a great president, but I would feel as if I was a part of making history as well. I'm just really excited for Obama...and for the democratic party in general.
I found that picture on a website that had that print on a t-shirt...and the t-shirt was on sale......so I bought it. :) Once it comes in the mail I'll take a picture of me sporting it. YAY FOR BARACK!

My brother wants the phone, but YAY!
