So last night was a blast. I sang loud, ate food, smiled almost the entire time, and went to sleep with the best feeling in the world. It was kinda weird....cause not a ton happened last night. I got to be with my best friend all night but we didn't do a ton of crazy stuff.....actually, I take that back. We did a lot of crazy stuff. Just not stuff that is super rare....it's hard to explain but I think you understand.
The sun has been shining all week. It makes me so happy. Last night, was warm and beautiful.
Maddy took me to a park that I'd never been to. It was a gorgeous place. It had a little lake and the sunset reflected beautifully on it. We skipped rocks and laughed together. Then we walked around the lake. When we were on the east side of the lake, we stopped and looked over at the sunset. It was beautiful. It was warm. It was peaceful. It was one of the moments where nothing else mattered. It was just a happy moment.
Moments like that always remind me how blessed I am. I really enjoyed spending time with my best friend last night.
Spring is here. I'm so excited.

Cello
So, i'm getting lazy. I'm sorry. It's been a while....
Today, Maddy and I tried out for the talent show. We sang "I see the Light" from Tangled. It was so fun learning the song. We worked really hard and i'm very proud of what we accomplished. Maybe we'll be in the show... If not, it's ok. I feel very good about the audition and I had lots of fun.
Also today, I have been doing some really hardcore studying for my art history test tommorow.....haha, yeah. We'll see how that goes. Anyway, while I was studying, I had my headphones in and I was listening to some pretty mellow music. One of my absolute favorite pieces came up....
It's from one my top ten favorite movies....actually, more like top three. It's a very well done movie. It's called "Departures". It's a Japanese film so not very well known in the U.S.A. It's man who plays the cello in a symphony. He is a very young man who's mother has passed away and his father abandoned him. He is married to his wife and that's basically his entire family. At the beginning of the movie, the owner of the symphony comes after one of the shows and announces that the orchestra has gone bankrupt. All the musicians lost their jobs.
So, the main character has to find a new job. He starts a new job preparing bodies for funerals. In Japan, it is considered a very dishonorable job.
That's all i'm going to say though. I would highly recomend it.
The song that came on my ipod is from this scene....
I should probably explain the scene with the rocks. The boy and his father are finding rocks that feel the way they feel. The reason the father's face is blurred is because the man does not remember what he looks like.
Anyway, go see the movie. It's a good one. Makes me wish I played the cello.
