Done, Done, Done

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......
