Update!

0 comments
It has been a REALLY long time since I've updated stuff here. So here it goes...

UEC had 2 more events since the last time I posted here. Here are the posters!



Okay so I'll admit that I sorta cheated on the GMAT one I definitely could've made it WAY better but I was pressed for time.

I mentioned in my last post how I wanted to track the progress of my Christmas Concert group song. Here is a short clip of their last practice (near the end when they were able to actually play together.)



I'm really hoping that this week they'll have both pages hands together. I tried being tough on them but last week I had a horrible cough so my threatening voice probably sounded a bit pathetic. I have 6 girls in my group, all of them around the same age, 13-14 (except for one of mine who is only 11, but she is just EXCEPTIONAL). I can't wait to see the end product, I know that if they work hard it'll sound really good.

Today I volunteered at the Daily Bread Food Bank with the UEC and a few other helpers who came out.
It was my first time volunteering there and after this experience I'd definitely do it again (with a group of course, because it makes it that much more fun!) While we were waiting for the bus I got to see a few people and some families come in to the food bank and actually walk out with a few bags of groceries. It kind of hit me because these people all looked like normal, everyday people and I would never be able to pick them out of a crowd.

In other news, this month is going to be CRAZY busy for me again, but luckily I only have one exam. I'm going to try and finish up the posters for the AARC soon because I know those have been lagging. I'll put them up here once I'm done. I'm looking into a ROP (Research Opportunity Program) for next year and some volunteering opportunities in a hospital for next semester. I can't wait for the holidays :)

"Cumulus" Tag Cloud

0 comments
This is just a short mini update since I've been absolutely SWAMPED in the past few months! I was browsing around and I found this really cool looking tag cloud on the Kiss 92.5 website so I decided to look into it. It was made by this guy named Roy Tanck. At first I was discouraged because it looked way too complicated for me to figure out how to use (he was using a different publishing site called Word Press) but eventually I a blogger-friendly version on Blogger Buster.

That's all the updates I have for now. I have so much stuff I want to post up on here (new posters, etc) PLUS I've decided to make a mini story line on getting my piano students ready for the upcoming Christmas Concert. I recorded part of the first group practice today (which went pretty well... at the expense of my voice).

P.S. I kept the original label cloud near the bottom for those who don't have Flash Player 9 installed on their computer. Also this wins me brownie points for usability too :)
