Anything :)

     We are finally having piano lessons again. I am glad for that.
     I have just figured out how I can print pictures from my phone at work. I would like to try it one time. And then maybe I will post some pictures.
     Work and school are occupying alot of my time,so I don't have much time to do anything else. It has been a time since I posted something. ...
     N loves to go outside and it is almost a trial to keep him occupied inside.Just yesterday,he took one of our fireplace shovels and was playing "rototiller" in the sand outside! He started music lessons today. He won't be a good student,probably,because he has too much energy.
     Some trees are already fully devoid of leaves. The time flies by so fast! I wouldn't be surprised at all if tomorrow is winter.And it's not even fall yet! Well,actually next week is the start of fall.

September 11,2001

     This is 9/11 or the same day of 2001 in which some planes,hijacked by terrorists,crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City. I don't remember very much from so long ago,but I have read lots about it.

Another Pretty Verse.

     This one is German and tells about a bird that sings so sweet and makes people listen,but that is so small that you can barely see it.It is a cheery,uplifting,hymn particularily for children:

Vöglein im hohen Baum,

Klein ists,ihr seht es kaum

Singt doch so schön,

Daß wohl von nah und fern

Alle die Leute gern

Horchen und stehn

Horchen und stehn.

Unfortunately,though,I know very few German songs.   



Fall and "Almost-School" Days

     Today is another beautiful day. Sunny and warm and nice to do schoolwork outside. And it's so peaceful out there,too. :) There is a nice gentle breeze. I noticed,though,that the suns rays are not as warm as they used to be,unfortunately.
     Soon I will be starting on the 3rd lesson of my Russian workbook. I have lots of vocabulary to learn...I hope that I will be able to learn it well and to be able to use it.
     I am almost certain that a teacher will be a good career choice for me,although,I don't know what Bachelor degree I would like to get before being able to apply at teacher's college. I am still in school,though,it is not too important right now. A little important,but not very much. 
     I am working on my Grade 10 piano pieces and I think it's going fairly well,except for the fact that it might be going a little slowly. But I will get the hang of it soon. :) I really like doing 4-note chords in technique. :) Only if I know them,that is. :) 

First Day of Work and the Changing Weather.

     Well,I survived my first day and I only made a few mistakes. It wasn't very busy,so that was good. I didn't have to worry too much. I haven't learned everything yet,but hopefully I will soon.
     Yesterday morning,it was pouring rain,but it cleared up in the evening and everything was so fresh and clean after that. Today is a beautiful,sunny day,but it is definitely September-the wind is stronger and cooler and the tree's leaves are changing colour. It is school time again. Just this morning I was surprised to see the school bus coming down our road again. We will be starting new schoolwork next week. I can hardly wait! Grade 12! It seems so old to be in Grade 12,yet I feel the same that I always have. It is a funny feeling.

Work and School

     Well, school is starting now. L and M have already started and R will start soon. I hope to start soon, too, although I have never really stopped.
     Today is my first day of work with no training and I am a little nervous...I hope that it will go well.

Some Pretty Verses,Particularily for Children

  God make my life a little light

Within the world to glow,

A little flame that burneth bright

Wherever I may go.

God make my life a little flower

That giveth joy to all,

Content to bloom in native bower,

Although the place be small.

God make my life a little song

That comforteth the sad,

That helpeth others to be strong,

And maketh others glad.

God make my life a little staff

Whereon the weak may rest;

That so what health or strength I have

May serve my neighbour best.

Wherever I may go.

Wherever I may go,

God make my life a little light

Wherever I may go.
