More books? (and other stuff)

Okay, so I know I have a massive summer reading list. But that doesn't stop me from going to Barnes and Noble to help the economy.

Here are my lastest purchases (to add to my list):

Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller
Sundays at Tiffany's - James Patterson
Much Ado About Nothing - William Shakespeare
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
Wives and Daughters - Elizabeth Gaske

So that makes a total of 20 books on my "to read" list. And I've only finished one.

19 to go. This is going to be one interesting summer...


And onto other stuff:

The other night was HC's end of the year party, which was so much fun! It was especially cool since I was a non-choral person invited (or as I prefer to be referred to: a "choral groupie"). We hung out, ate food, watched people play pool, played some amazing volleyball and badminton, and had a huge fight over my camera at one point (I won, by the way). Overall, it was a nice time to just chill with my friends at my music teacher's expense.

Band is going pretty well. (It's the only class I can talk about since we're not doing anything anymore in any other class). We sound so much better on the music than we did before, and we added in some visuals that are starting to look pretty good. I have to ask the question though - what is with our band and snapping? Can our visual designers PLEASE come up with a move that doesn't involved snapping? Snapping is cool and all, but I think that's run its course. At least we're not singing. Or clapping. Or crossing our legs and doing things with our hands. So I guess when you think about the crazy visuals we've done in the past, snapping is the least of our concerns. And yes, this may seem like a bunch of ramble, but EHS people know what I'm talking about. (Actually "about which I am talking"....happy Peter?)

Today there were about 5 seniors at school (it was the Senior Trip/2nd Senior Skip Day) so I spent the entire day either in GR's office (with the AC) or in the band room. Then I hung out afterwards with some people in the band room, which always lends itself to wacky fun.

Oh, and I'm officially finished with all my projects and whatnot. PARTY TIME!!!

And I'm in the middle of a chat with future Houghton Music Ed people (we're being all music geeky) so I'll go focus on that since I have nothing more to write.
