New Piano!!!!



We got our new piano!! It's so cool, in the top picture is the piano I have been playing and practicing on for the last 10 years...and the bottom picture is our new one! It's so cool to have a nice piano to practice on everyday...one that is closer to the piano's that I'll perform on. Even though it's not a grand, it does what I need it too. For you people who put detail at a high importance level...our old piano was a 1937 baldwin acrosonic...and our new one is a 1996 kawaii. Anyway regardless of what it's called I love our new piano!!

The art of bein learned

yes, the art of bein learned has begun again! in other words...school started this week, and so has everything else that comes with it. Actually this year isn't half as bad as last year. I don't have so many subjects and stuff, I just have, choir, music, composition, literature, Hebrew, basketball, speech, debate, drama, math, economics...ok, so maybe I'm in the same boat...well, it still seems like I don't have quite as much weighing my passage through highschool down...lol. And I'm a senior so whatever that means...if anything...It's kinda strange, becuase for the longest time I'd look up to highschool seniors and how I thought they were so mature and grown up and stuff...well...now I'm a senior and I'm starting to wonder what in the world I was thinking...

well, duty calls...

whatever it is...

trust me...it's there...

craziness...

Hmm, I haven't really been home much lately, and I apparently haven't posted much either...looking at the dates on my previous posts...

But now that most of my romping around the US is over I think I can finally start getting back into the rhythm of...of...well...living at home...lol! This past vacation was great though. We spent a lot of time on the beaches because of it was so hot! I mean, we went camping up in Michigan...it's supposed to be nice a cool up there right? So, we thought instead of burning up down here, we'll just go up by the lakes and camp there. Well, it just so happened to be that a national heat wave decides to appear out of nowhere and strike the whole country on the exact week we went camping. So Instead of burning up down here, we just burned up in Michigan!! So we went swimming in the lakes a lot! Ah, the lakes felt soo good in 90 degree weather! It cooled off later in the week though which was nice. We were camping in Mackinaw city, which is right on the straights of Mackinac. So we swam in Lake Michigan and Lake Heron. We also went to Mackinac Island, saw some lighthouses, saw the great Mackinac Bridge, and relaxed. Overall it was a peaceful vacation...well...except for the downpour which got everything wet and put us in the Laundromat for a day, and besides the heat...lol! Anyway it’s nice to be home for once and actually sit down and think for a couple seconds without rushing out the door!! We took a bunch of pics, so when my dad gets them uploaded I’ll post some of them…
