I am pretty much finished with school this semester. I have one final next week, and of course it is on Friday. Go figure. But the Opera project is done, at last, and now I am ready for a lot more free time. I can't wait for Christmas, and the pictures here are how I decorated my dorm room. Pretty cool.
There was an "ice storm" today and now everything has a nice sheet of ice covering it. It makes for interesting walking, let me tell you.
And also, early this morning (around 3:30, a half-hour after I went to sleep) an AU student died from being involved in a fight. I don't know who he was, but that certainly put a damper on everyone's day today.
I guess that's it for now, not much exciting, but I do enjoy the decorations. I'll be sad to take them down in about 5 days. I'm off to get my laundry and then watch The Corpse Bride.
Oh, and we had the Band and Choir concerts this weekend, and at the band concert, we did a joint piece called Sleep by Eric Whitacre. You may know it. Anyway, here are the words. It's very relaxing sounding. A good note to end on.
The evening hangs beneath the moon,
A silver thread on darkened dune,
With closing eyes and resting head,
I know that sleep is coming soon,
Upon my pillow safe in bed,
A thousand pictures fill my head,
I cannot sleep my mind's a-flight,
And yet my limbs seen made of lead,
If there are noises in the night,
A frightening shadow; flickering light,
Then I surrender unto sleep,
I surrender unto sleep,
Sleep....
Sleep.....
Sleep......
