They live at a mechanic's shop in Mass, and my dad works with the guy who owns it. There are also two other orange kittens, two gray tabby ones, and a dark gray one, but these are the two I want. I think I've procrastinated enough for now, so have a great week! Until next time, ~Cassandra]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/CassandraLevesque/2009/04/sudden_pet_aquisition_d.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/CassandraLevesque/2009/04/sudden_pet_aquisition_d.html Sun, 19 Apr 2009 00:21:08 -0500 I don't know about you, but I'm finding it a very difficult thing to accept. I'm pretty sure that today is actually Saturday, but someone forgot to tell me. I never blogged last week because I was incredibly busy, and I should be studying for a test I have today instead of writing to you, but I need a break. So I'll tell you a little bit about last week. I came back from spring break on Sunday, and almost had ice cream over in Winnisquam. Except that it was all either chocolate or caramel, and neither taste good. Yes, you read that right. I do not like chocolate, and I do not like caramel. Or peanut butter, for that matter. When people complain that I don't like them, I just tell them not to complain because it leaves more for them to eat! Makes sense to me, at least... Monday I spent doing the homework I didn't finish, although I did do a small amount over vacation... only because it was due Monday and I didn't feel like doing it Sunday. The rest of the week was a blur. I did work, I did lots of creative writing club stuff, had a book club meeting and a creative writing club meeting, etc. etc. Then, on Saturday, I sat at the creative writing club booth at accepted students' day, and went home to help my dad move a bunch of boxes and furniture into his house. On Sunday, I went to the Transition Summit, where I learned about a few things that the creative writing club needs to do in order to be a club next year. In conclusion, it’s been a busy week, and today should be Saturday. Because then I could sleep instead of take a test I forgot about until yesterday. It's amazing how much stuff suddenly appears that needs to be done just before summer. Hope your week was less hectic! Have a great week. http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/CassandraLevesque/2009/04/is_it_really_monday.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/CassandraLevesque/2009/04/is_it_really_monday.html Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:05:29 -0500 awesome! I had to wait a semester to take a class that actually has something to do with my major, but it was worth it, I think. I'm also in my first philosophy class, and it's extremely fun. I've always found philosophy amusing, but this is the first time I've ever actually learned about it. My FAS 202H class will be going to a concert in Boston soon, and we will see a performance of Gustav Mahler's First Symphony. It should be great, even if it is performed by a student orchestra. I'm looking forward to it, and so is the rest of the class. Plus, we're going for free, since it's a school-paid trip! Also this year, I am in many clubs, and am an officer in two of them. I am the secretary of SNHU's Creative Writing club, which is an awesome club that everyone who loves writing should join! It's a great group of insanely creative people, and it's a lot of fun to be involved with the club. I have also just recently become co-President of SNHU's Book Club. My roommate Nicole is the other President. The first book we will read is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, which everyone who likes Sci Fi should read. Last week, on Wednesday, I went to my first concert! It was Fleetwood Mac, and it was great! I went with Nicole, my boyfriend Ian, and my dad, who drove us all down. We sat in the nosebleed seats, but I liked it anyways. It was very interesting, because they changed some of their songs, while others they left the same. The lyrics of "Rhiannon" were very different from the ones I am used to hearing on the studio recording, and their live version of "Tusk" was also different, instrumentally. They even played one song which they had never performed live before! Also, Stevie Nicks told the audience, for the first time ever, what the meaning behind "Gypsy" was, which was cool. Apparently, when she becomes very stressed, she will take her mattress and put it on the floor, and set up a bunch of candles all around her and just think. At the beginning of the concert, Lindsey Buckingham told the audience that because they did not have a new album to promote, yet, that they were just going to have fun performing for us, and it looked like they did! If you have never listened to their music, you should. My favorites are "Rhiannon," "Gypsy," "Sara," "Tusk," and "The Chain," although all of their songs are awesome. ************* Gypsy- Fleetwood Mac, composed by Stevie Nicks So I'm back, to the velvet underground Back to the floor, that I love To a room with some lace and paper flowers Back to the gypsy that I was To the gypsy... that I was And it all comes down to you Well, you know that it does Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice Ah, and it lights up the night And you see your gypsy You see your gypsy To the gypsy that remains Faces freedom with a little fear I have no fear, I have only love And if I was a child And the child was enough Enough for me to love Enough to love She is dancing away from me now She was just a wish She was just a wish And a memory is all that is left for you now You see your gypsy You see your gypsy Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice And it all comes down to you And it all comes down to you Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice And it all comes down to you I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes And it all comes down to you I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes And it all comes down to you I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes (she was just a wish) (she was just a wish) And it all comes down to you Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice And it all comes down to you ******* I should be able to find something more interesting to write about after spring break, which I am definitely looking forward to, if only because it will be the first time in weeks I've had a chance to write. I'm working on what I think will become a novel, but I haven't had many chances to add to it recently, since I spend most of my free time procrastinating on homework... mostly reading and playing on the internet. I do finish my work, but there isn't enough time left afterwards to write. So my goal is to add to my novel over vacation! I'll let you know how that goes. And now, after procrastinating for an hour or so, goodbye until next time! ~Cassandra]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/CassandraLevesque/2009/03/first_blog_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/snhu/CassandraLevesque/2009/03/first_blog_1.html Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:04:20 -0500
