Quote of the Day 18 + the weekly update
"It takes no genius to have a perfectly structured face. But we all have our own gifts." -- Mason Thomson, in a marvelous discussion about models vs. artists.
"Eww, that car is a gross color!" -- Christopher
"Yellow's awesome!" -- Caity
"Hey, don't dis the banana car. Wow, that opens up a whole new realm of pick-up lines. 'Hey baby, want to take a ride in my banana?" -- Mason. Haha, wow, we talk about the weirdest stuff. And yet somehow, talking with my youthgroupians is the highlight of my week :)
first day back to school was really heavy. i did homework until 8:30 :P but after that the week generally lightened up homework-wise, but other commitments seemed to descend. auditions for our school play, fiddler on the roof, are monday, and i spent every break possible singing with my friend shane, who's my audition partner (we're trying out with "Sabbath Prayer." if you haven't heard it you should; it's beautiful.)
over the break i was sure i bombed my english final, but apparently my essay was one of the best of the bunch, and my teacher asked for a copy to show future classes as an example. i know that if i'd had more time and research, my essay would have been MUCH better (our topic was animal research), but i was happy to have done well. so that cheered me up.
last year i loved sitting outside at lunch and talking with my friends. this year i've rather gotten over the novelty of the long lunch period, and get bored if i just spend 5-days a week in idle pursuits. so i've taken up two clubs, Minds Magazine (which i did last semester as well) and this monday i went for the first time to Philosophy Club. we had a marvelous discussion about the how people tend to have unrealistic expectations of their heros/significant other, placing them above human fault. this conversation put name to many thoughts and occurrences i had not previously identified. i often think fleetingly about "the nature of things" on my own, but it was delightful to have a group of intelligent and creative people to debate and theorize with. i think i shall return :)
my "tutee" Crystal (the fourth grader i tutor) is ADORABLE! we've started doing some creative writing, and she seems to be enjoying it very much. it's strange to be around little kids again, after spending a majority of my time with high schoolers. talking with Crystal has made me realize that she thinks i know everything because i'm an older person. i'd forgotten what it's like to be that age; it's rather refreshing.
i've discovered dance. completely and fully. i love it; i love feeling healthy, and (marginally) graceful. it'll never be as potent a passion as singing, but i definitely want to experiment more with it!
so that's the weekly update.
Salut!
