This is frustrating, but ultimately really empowering and inspiring. Go Silvana, be awesome.

If someone told you that someone had created a Broadway musical about the life and times of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, I’d take a guess that you’d be skeptical. But this is so different from anything you could ever expect, quick lines and raps, yet true to both history and the people it characterizes. This is America’s Founding Fathers as you’ve never seen them before.
let’s go! (but i’m just along for the ride)
Trying something a little different. My cousin recommended this site as something new to play around with, and I, with full knowledge of the excess of free time that I have, decided to give it a shot. So here’s my first shot at the oh-so-hipster playlist creation.
Hallelujah – Brandi Carlile
This is a tribute to the Leonard Cohen classic that soars. Brandi Carlile’s voice carries the soul of the song effortlessly, swooping from warm and smoky to clear and bright. Currently one of my favourite songs, and easily one of the better covers of this song I’ve ever heard.
Beginnings vs Procrastination
“The beginning is the most important part of work.” – Plato
To be fair, even if this weren’t something Plato actually said (but take a moment to imagine Plato as a teacher, swathed in robes and a stern grey expression, reprimanding Aristotle for procrastinating) it still rings true. Procrastination has lingered just as much as the classics have endured.
If I wrote a list of how many things I haven’t started on time and had to rush to finish, I’d be writing that list as long as it kept me from my actual work.
However, it’s my first class year. Somehow I’ve figured it out. I’d rather not make a declaration to the tune of “Beginning now, I shall vow to fight procrastination,” since I don’t yet trust myself to keep it. Easier goals then, are in order.If E-Portfolio is meant to expand beyond the boundaries of an education portfolio, then I’ll include a blog with my personal interests, scribbles, and thoughts.
That sounds like a much more attainable beginning to me.
