Snow!...

...is probably the only thing really worth mentioning about today. Rather boring and sluggish with all the whining about not getting out of school. Not even the excitement of the approaching Valentines Day, nor the unnatural appearance of snow could break the stagnancy in the air today. What I can be glad to say though is, "Thank God it's Friday!"

Video Games:
Decided to take a step back from Mario 64 today and play Metroid Prime instead. I've played it 3 hours and have just now made it to the fourth area. This game is worth taking your time on though. Getting a sense of the atmosphere is what the game is all about, and I believe I'm doing that very well.

Music:
"Baby you can drive my car. Yes I'm gonna be a star. Baby you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you. Beep beep, beep beep, yeah!" I woke up wanting to hear this song, and I've listened to it all through the day. I know I've listened to it at least 10 times today. I'm oddly drawn to it today for some reason.
I brought my iHome today to, hopefully, help Korey match the chords of the songs I have. He still couldn't capture "Hey Jude", but he had "Don't Stop Believin'" almost perfect. Chase practically stole my iHome away after a while, and I was left to watch Nolan attempt to play something while Dominique was recording. During the last 10 minutes of class, Korey got out a trumpet, so he could play along, and I did the same with my tuba. We just couldn't together quick enough though. Choir wasn't great either. Mr Fowler got angry at the ninth graders for staying out in the snow, but at least he passed it off with humor instead of frustration, as he usually would. He got really frustrated with the sight reading, and basically told us that we forgot everything we knew about music overnight. We did well on the risers as always though.

Personal Life:
As I stated earlier, snowfall during break was really the high point of the day. A fresh snowfall always seems to make everyone frisky, especially myself. You can't help but love it. Seeing the plethora of Valentines was also a welcome event. A little sad having nothing sent to me once again, but I do well with the just the sharing of chocolates. It didn't really feel Valentines-y this year. I guess the general coldness and having it so far off from the school days hurt it a little.

I suppose that's about it for today's events. Hopefully I can make up my lack of content with a few of the pictures I took today. Enjoy!
