this is swear to you, and this i swear to me
It really gets to me that Taylor Swift insists on being insanely catchy. It makes it extremely difficult to get her songs out of your head--especially when you particularly dislike and mock her.
Add to my list of favorite male singer/pianists: Brendan James.
Grand Recital is next week. I'm playing Fantasy in D Minor. According to the faculty at the Conservatory, I'm one of the best.
We'll see.
Next week is the last week of school. This makes me excited. I can't believe I would ever say this, but I think I actually have found a place in my heart for Great Books Tutorial. Dr. Lund is an amazing tutor, plus, next year we get to read some Shakespeare. Which will be a bit more fun than philosophy.
Reading list for this summer!:
110 People Who Are Screwing Up America, by Bernard Goldberg
Musicophilia, by Oliver Sacks
The Other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory
The God Makers, by Ed Decker and Dave Hunt
The Inheritance, by Louisa May Alcott
Blink! The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, by Malcolm Gladwell
Behind A Mask, by Louisa May Alcott
This Is Your Brain On Music, by Daniel J. Levitin
I'm pretty much excited.
Another thing I'm definitely excited about is the church mission trip. Eeeee I can't wait. Not one bit.
Why does blood turn brown when it dries? And why do the tears well up in your eyes? Why didn't I learn to ride my bike when it was warm and sunny outside? Why can't little kids tie their shoes? And why can't the white people play the blues? Why can't I fall in love with you?
It must be because of the season...
If you haven't seen Expelled!, go see it. Not even kidding.
Nathan is home, which once again gives me someone to mess around on the piano with. His new compositions are actually quite interesting.
That's all.
