Could it be?

(Before I start, it seems like the budget situation has become much less serious, only in the past couple of days, so we've hopefully gained a few years of time)

Ahhhhh. Yesterday sitting in school, did not feel like March 8th. Instead in felt like the end of May with warm sun streaming in the windows, clouds lazily drifting past. It was really hard to focus on algebra! After getting home and just bopping around a bit, I went outside where XanFan was and I just lay in the grass and watched him play basketball, and watch the sun slowly sink down to the horizon.

Last thing in this slightly random post. Today are student conductor auditions in full band and needless to say, I'm quite hyped up! People who go to my school here's a little note for you: I'll probably be going around all day humming Scherzino and conducting 2/2 time. Don't be alarmed.

Sunrise

"Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see"

(That's a line from Bohemian Rhapsody if you didn't know)

It seems that we are always missing those moments in life because we're asleep or we're looking down at a computer screen or something.

I get up at 5:45 every morning. I have to, to be able to get to jazz band on time. I also live right across from a marsh. And every morning, while getting ready for school, I watch the sunrise.

Watch the signs. The stars disappear, the clouds turn gray and then brilliant pink as the velvet night sky turns to baby blue. And finally, finally, a great fireball rises from the horizon.

I've got pictures, but I still can't upload. Sorry.

If you're an early riser, take a few moments. Look away, look to the sky, to the horizon, to the birth of day.
