My brain hurts....

I am in the midst of midterms, and am getting ready for bed, but I thought I would blog so that I could at least pretend to be one of the good kids.
Today I had a paper due (a response to the movie "Munich") and had to give a speech in my War and Peace lecture series. I talked about how I think music can be used as a tool to help evoke peace, and used my Japan story as an example. I got a really great response to it, because people approached me after class to say how much they enjoyed it.
I have another paper due, and two more tests, one of which is in my music class and will ultimately kill me I think. There is a section will I will have to be able to listen to a song and know the title, composer, date, genre and, if it's part of a mass or opera, the section...and there's a lot of songs. BUT the Marriage of Figaro is one of them, and it's pretty easy to tell that one, 'cause he just says his name a bunch of times.
Tomorrow my writing class is meeting at a restaurant and we're going to eat so we can do a restaurant review (p.s., being a communications major can be really awesome sometimes).
I'm also working on a fundraiser for Newman Center that will be happening the first weekend in November. I'm supposed to be working with some of the churches to get them to let us sell tickets to our dinner event, but for some reason the are not cooperating. It's getting a little frustrating. So if anybody would like to head out to California that weekend, I think I will also be having a concert on the 9th. So you can have Vietnamese food one night, and then enjoy my concert another night. Awesome.
The rainy season has begun with a bang. It was POURING rain today (even by Juneau standards). At one point I saw ducks sitting in a massive puddle in one of the parking lots and they were actually diving for food. They even had to put sandbags by one of the building's stairs so that it wouldn't flood the basement. Good thing I have a rain coat.
That's all the news I have so for now. Love you all!
