I Feel that Ice is Slowly Melting

Okay, life update:

Spring Break!
  •  My spring break was in early March. I went down to Leominster, MA that Wednesday through Saturday and I:

    • went to the Louisa May Alcott house in Concord where I learned:
      • that Louisa's father believed in implementing things in school like recess, and music, and the arts. You know, all those things they're trying to take out now? He was instrumental in getting them put in in the first place.
      • I found out that Louisa's younger sister taught someone very important how to sculpt...
    • I saw Ralph Waldo Emerson's house
    • I went to Hanscom Airforce Base
    • I watched a lot of Cake Boss
    • I ate lunch on Saturday at California Pizza Kitchen.
      • I got a California Club on honey whole wheat and it was delicious 
      • the sun was shining outside and I felt like all was right with the world
    • I went to the Museum of Fine Art
      • there was all manner of amazing art there. We were there for several hours and there was no possible way I could have seen everything there.
      • I love Museums. I love art. I love giant baby heads. (There are two outside the MFA. It was hilarious.)


     Washington D.C.:
    • I went to our nation's capital for the first time ever. It was AMAZING! It was sunny and clean and beautiful and amazing. That is all I can say.



    • I went to the State Department for a briefing from some environmental guy (since I was with a bunch of people from my law school. Which, by the way, was just rated #1 in Environmental Law for the third year in a row.  )
    • I walked along the National Mall and saw:

      • The Lincoln Memorial (remember that important sculpting student of May Alcott's? He made this.)
      • The Vietnam War Memorial and the WWII memorial.

      • The Washington Monument.
      • Then I asked Barack to cook me dinner.
      • I saw beautiful cherry blossoms.
      • I went to the Washington D.C. temple (which is in Maryland, go figure.) and ran into a guy from my Freshman year at BYU and asked total strangers to drive me to BWI for my flight back to Vermont. Which they did. I love that about my church.



      Brian Regan:
      • If you've never heard of Brian Regan I am sad for you. Don't worry. Here are some videos of him. Watch and laugh. Then laugh some more. He is so funny. I went down to Boston last Thursday with Kathy and her boyfriend (because being a third wheel is my favorite!) to go to one of his sold out shows at the Wilbur Theatre.

      • General Conference:
        • This past weekend was the General Conference for my church. It was awesome. It always is. You can view it here.
        • On Saturday night I had a girls night with Kathy and Regan. It was grand. We ate pizza and delicious cookies and I introduced them to Summer Magic.
      In conclusion, I wish the temperatures would warm up. I wish I had more time in the day so I wouldn't be stressing about school. I wish I could win the lottery.

      But in the end, my life is GRAND :)

      And obviously that wasn't William that posted. It was me. He has an inability to sign out of his account on my computer. :-)

      You have had a busy month! I didn't know Kathy had a boyfriend. Who is it? I feel like I know her even though I don't.

      Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

      Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there. Strange Creepy Guy on Bicycle: Hey how are you doing? Lil Renny: Fine. SCGoB : What is your name? LR : ... Lindsey SCGoB : Oh, well I just wanted to tell you you are a beautiful girl.

      Together We're Invincible

      If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

      A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

      Image
      If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
