Fun times

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't done any regular posts lately! I've been super swamped these past few weeks (even with Spring Break!). Been doing a lot of thinking about what the future holds, and it makes me excited! I've come to realize many things about myself and stuff. I learned recently that I can really easily delude myself into thinking something. I really deluded myself into thinking about what I wanted in a college because I am afraid of change and moving. I'd been seriously thinking about majoring in classical music, mostly because it was something easy because the university where I live only has a classical program and some musicians go classical and many of my friends are going to college here. But I've started to realize that I don't really want to do that, and I feel like I would be miserably wasting my time if I just chose to go here. It doesn't mean I won't apply here, because it would be silly not to, but I won't just let this be at the top of my list for merely comfort. It's not like I'm going to live in this town forever. I'm going to apply other places, and, of course, be willing to settle with this college; but not resign myself because I'm afraid.
God is so kind. He has been showing my all sorts of new things about myself and who I am and what my hearts true intentions tend to be. I'm learning a lot, and learning to change a lot, for the better. I'm jut really excited about what's to come!
On a more exciting note, here's my mom with Kermit the Frog at the Kermit the Frog Museum in Leland, Mississippi (We went their over Spring Break).
Thanks for reading this outrageously long post, and tune in soon for a new cover (hopefully this weekend).

Black History Month Thoughts

This was my second year doing a Black History Month project, but this year I chose to do only musicians. I did repeat a few people since this is a new blog, and since I was writing longer biographies and doing more research on people. I learned SO much this month. It was hard keeping up with every day, especially in the middle of February, because I did admittedly get a little tired to doing on every day. I learned a lot about that  life was like for many musicians in the 20th Century. I was actually surprised by how many of them had terrible childhoods; I knew some of them did, but I had no idea how many of them actually grew up that way. I suppose that that is why some of their songs are so full of soul and the words are so real to us, because they were real for them. Check out Nobody Knows the Trouble I See by Sam Cooke. Thanks for taking the time to read some of my posts this past month!
