a.r.t. d.a.y.

my apologies once again for the long delay in updates. i didn't know anyone was checking the blog, so i got discouraged and stopped writing cause it felt like a waste of time. But now that I know at least 2 people check it, I will try to update more frequently. BUT, you have to comment on the posts so I know you're still checking them. Ok?

Alright, so since it's been forever since the last post and it would take a really long time to update you on everything that's happened since the robbing, i will pick a couple random samplings from the time in between.

1. After my cell phone was stolen (as you read about in the last post), it took about 3 or so weeks to get a new one, and when i finally got the new one, I found out that they didn't have the same one I had before, so one of the administrators at school worked it out that I got an even better one. So my new phone is a 3G Motorola Razr with some pretty sweet features including Moto ID (which can listen to about 10 seconds of any song, analyze it, and tell you the name of the song and the artist who sings it), USB transfer of songs pictures and video to and from my computer, and the best feature: video calling. Sadly, I only know one other person who has video calling as well, so I haven't been able to take much advantage of this.

2. At school we have been practicing every morning for the upcoming Christmas program. One kid in my class is so funny when he sings. We try to get them to sing as loud as they can, but he is apparently incapable of singing loudly without making a sort of scowl on his face. So here he is, singing Feliz Navidad at the top of his lungs with a furrowed brow and a huge smile on his face. It's awesome.

3. Art Day! I've been trying for a couple months now to have an art day some Saturday morning, and it finally worked out. It actually ended up being saturday afternoon and it was quite a success. I was expecting it might go for about 3 hours, but we went strong with the art-making from 3pm until 8:30. It was great! There was cross-stitching, painting in various formats, coloring, baking, and different types of paper art. All in all, we had lots of fun, and I can't wait until the next one!
