So really it's not a habit to wait until the last minute to write an entry - or even more important the fact this also is an assignment, as well as an outlet for the new life I have started.

So I'll recap - Friday we finished up Act I in COSI, and I still have mixed emotions about the opera as a whole thus far. It's suppose to be a comedy, but I don't find the topic of the story being told humorous, as well as I mentioned previously the sisters are a LITTLE "over-dramatic." Actually, I really don't see myself resolving these feelings, I believe they will continue to change with difference scenes and events within the opera. Other than that I don't have too much - or basically another soapbox - to really go off on at this point. As far as thinking into my first paper, due in just a couple of weeks (should probably spend more time on that? -- but I mean I haven't forgotten, just .. well nothing) I am planning on writing on the first novel we looked at as a class, Peace like a River. I believe I am going to write on the "miracles" aspect. it really at first bothered me how they were presented and then intrigued me the more I got into the book. I also can add commentary and talk about miracles in my own life. I am planning to make it a thought provoking response. When it is read, I want people to ponder and pick it apart in different ways, with different opinions. There are so many different directions to go with the topic as well. Do I do a "miracles: real or coincidence?" argument, or simply stick with a straight out discussion about miracles, and portray it as a more "scholarly" article discussion. I can tell you I haven't decided. :o) I'm sure it will be which one inspires me the most as I work on the preparation.

After class Friday, I went home to see friends and family for my birthday (which will actually be Wednesday). I was planning to go home this coming weekend but I get to be an Ambassador and there is the first event this weekend, therefore, I can't go almost 4 hours away :o). It was nice to see people, while other aspects with a few people in my life it wasn't as pleasant. I could have done without seeing dad, I mean there is a reason he doesn't live at home and isn't around anymore and I wanted to have a happy weekend ... that's asking too much. I loved getting to see my mom, she is my best friend and I love her dearly. Oh, and I will admit I was happy to get to see my brothers, and my puppy! ... I missed her, but not the barking at like 6am - BLAH haha. I made it back - don't ask me how I just got on a road after being lost that I knew would eventually run me into the large metropolitan of Due West - and now I am settled back in, EXHAUSTED, but will have to finish the school work before bed.

ohhh tomorrow should be another wonderfully exciting or dull entry - I guess to wait and see....
