Days like this

I'm in love with this song... (and a few others)

It's snowing. Yay. Honestly, the last few weeks have started to feel like spring - warmer weather (not warm like California spring - of course - but high 30's and 40s). In fact, I went out on Superbowl Sunday wearing just a light jacket - no winter coat. But the thing that sucks about that in between spring weather is that - you don't get the benefits of warm weather and you don't get the pretty/fun snow. Its just blah. And rain. Who likes rain? I will take snow over rain any day!!!

So, I am sitting here in class watching these big white flakes floating through the sky. Its so much prettier than rain - rain just falls down - snow floats. Okay, I'm sure I don't need to sit here and describe snow to you but I can't help it. (Did I mention there are some really big flakes falling right now? It kinda looks like fake movie snow.)

Ugh.

So much other stuff going on in life. Most of it isn't really blog appropriate. But, lets just say its been interesting. I'm pretty excited about this semester… though at the same time I'm already freaking out at how much work I have to do (and haven't yet started to do).

School is good - my classes are - eh? One of them is pretty awful, one is quite dull. I have a class at the business school (I have never ever taken anything business related before) and I'm pretty excited about working with non-law students. Plus, although some people think it’s a dull class, for some reason, it’s the only class I really pay attention in. I also have the legislative clinic class. I started my internship at the state house yesterday. I'll be there twice a week. Its kinda nice to see everyone all formal - suits etc. I miss polished looking boys. I'm a big big dork but I get a little excited when I get off the T and am surrounded by nice dressed people all headed towards the state house - I feel special. Yes, I'm a loser. Leave me alone.

I went to the celtics game with the alum yesterday. I had a great time - met Leon Powe. Yada yada. There will be some great CACNE stuff going on this semester. Should be fun.

Oh ya, I also went to see Shoghaken Ensemble. I saw them at Berkeley a few years ago - they're still great. It was tough to sit still during the faster songs though. Now I'm just itching for an armenian party and armenian dancing… A week or so before that I went to this bar called the Mid East in Cambridge and they had belly dancing all night - but in between, they played some armenian music so we got to dance. That was fun too.

And there are now chanting children outside my window (oh ya, I'm finishing the blog at home).

I guess I should go do some work now. :\ Bleh. Who likes that?


You know you gotta see it
gotta see it to believe it
there goes a man with no agenda to defy
he don't got nothing
just the smile that he's giving
loud as a flower (?)

Know you gotta see it
see it to believe it
there goes a man with nothing on his mind
witness the clarity
transparent rarity (?)
sweet as a sparrow (?)

he said, its days like this
that hold me in bliss
with a kiss of a rain on my brow
here i am in the here and now
where i'll give you the shirt off my back
give you the shirt off my back
yes i will

you know you gotta see it
see it to believe it
there goes a man with nothing heavy on his heart
he don't want nothing
just the air that he's breathing
light as a feather

you know they wanna steal it
wanna steal his secret
because they don't believe that they already got it their in their heart
if they can steal it
they're gonna try to kill it

he said, its days like this
that hold me in bliss
with a kiss of the sun on my brow
here i am in the here and now
and i'll give you the shirt off my back
and give you the shirt off my back

he said, its days like this
that hold me in bliss
with a kiss of the snow here on my brow
here i am in the here and now
and i'll give you the shirt off my back
and give you the shirt off my back

Thanks for dropping by my blog! Hopefully I'll be accepted to one of the schools in Boston. I visited over the summer and loved the city.

If I won't be getting much use out of Black's, I'll be sure not to spring for the deluxe edition. :)
