| Ouch, I can't practice my cello. I can only type with one hand. I burned my left palm last night. 
| | |
| I MADE 6TH CHAIR ALL-STATE ORCHESTRA! The Pichacho Peak re-enactment was a blast btw, pictures will be up soon.
| | |
| Major Overload! All-State auditions are this weekend, I have a
GBT Paper due a week from Friday, and I have an 8 page paper due
sometime in April. Not to mention all my other school. And
then I take the SAT on May 5th. I think I need a stunt
double. The Picacho Peak re-enactment is this weekend though as
well. That should be plenty of fun, and my uniform fits, which is
a plus.

| I found this quote when I was doing some research about the recent happening of the senator being sworn in using the Koran.
When he served as America’s minister to France in the
mid-1780s, Jefferson had once confronted an Arab diplomat, demanding to
know by what right his country attacked Americans in the Mediterranean:
The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of
the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who
should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was
their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be
found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners.
And people want us to be more tolerant of a religion that swears
to make slaves of all who don't do what Muslims tell them to.
Some people just don't read deep enough. Something else of note
was said by a Republican senator in response to this event:
“The Prophet Muhammad inwardly heard the Arabic verses of the Koran. He
did not simply encounter the Divine Meaning and compose his own words
to express it. Therefore, no translation of the Arabic Koran into any
language can be the Holy Koran, but is simply a human interpretation,
which may be inspired but does not exist on the sublime level of
revelation.” So, technically, he’s not swearing on the Koran.

| Heh, heh, heh, that wasn't so bad. Really, it wasn't. I got
through the SAT ok, I got through the audition okay, so really, it
wasn't that bad. Oh who am I fooling, I might as well stop this
charade, *collapses on the floor*. Theatrics aside, today
actually went rather well. The SAT was, well, draining, and the
audition was great, really. There is only one thing that could
have improved today though. If I had gotten more than 3 hours of
sleep last night.
