Day Seven.

It's been one whole week of Blogging Every Day in April! I think this is why people generally don't blog every day though, because it becomes boring to read and it becomes a chore, and what do people do when they have to do something: Procrastinate, of course! I have about one hour left to do this blog (in my time zone), and I have to get up in 6 hours for practice.

Anyways, I will trudge onward and embrace the fact that there is something to say every day.

Today in class we watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doc1eqstMQQ and I quite like it, even if it doesn't really relate to the paper that I am supposed to write. I really like my professor, but I wish the class wasn't about "U.S. and the World." So boring. He said he would love to teach a class just about music, and I would definitely take that class from him if it was offered, though it probably wouldn't fit in my schedule. It's fun to think about all the meanings behind music and how everything in the world is so subtly connected that you don't even realize the extent of it. I took "Exploring Religions" from him last semester and it was a lot more fun than this stupid writing class that is supposed to "teach us how to think critically and use evidence."

On a different subject, I have been trying to become a tea-drinker, because tea is way cooler than coffee. It took me a while to find out how to make it taste good, because it all smells good and you can smell the different flavors but they all taste the same. I started drinking raspberry iced tea, and I'm trying to experiment with real tea. The cafeteria is great for experimenting with tea because they have all the supplies and I don't have to buy anything to try it (except that I bought the meal plan, which was admittedly expensive). I tried putting lots of sugar in it once, but that didn't do much for the flavor, and I tried hazelnut cream once, and that gave it a horrible aftertaste. Plus I think it was some kind of "spice" flavor, like apple spice maybe, so that definitely didn't go well together. My next approach was honey because that's how my mom drinks her tea, and I think that is the my favorite option so far.

Well I certainly think that was "something" enough for today. Goodnight world!

Random fact of the day:
