Music Corner

Hello again!
So like you might have noticed, I'm new at this blog thing and I can't guarantee I will post everyday, especially after school starts up because I am a definite overachiever and proud of it! But I thought that maybe every Wednesday, to the best of my ability I can suggest/ review an artist, a song, an album...something like that.
Well, this week, I'd like to suggest Rob Simonsen's 'Red.' He wrote it originally for the iPhone 5 commercial 'Music Every Day.' And while it is not available for download on iTunes, I'm sure you can find it somewhere if you really want to. For me, it's kind of happy and hopeful. It makes me smile.  The commercial is down below and if you like that, you can also check out 'Blue' below it for the iPhone 5 'Photos Every Day.'



Well, that's it for now in the Music Corner! I hate to sound like a cheesy talk show host or something, but...(clears throat) Join us next time in the Music Corner to hear about who knows what! Too much? Well, too late now. Bye!

As Summer Ends, School Begins...

First actual topic:  School Year 2013-2014!
Okay so I have a feeling I'm going to be the odd one out right now, but I actually love school.. I can't wait for it to start back up. I like my teachers, I like the schedule so I'm not lying around doing nothing, and I like my friends. But it's junior year which means the ACT and the PSAE. You have to start filling out applications and finding out where you want to go and get it narrowed down. It's a crazy amount of pressure.
It's going to be a good year though. I have new teachers for art, biology, Spanish, and English. I have a chance to finally audition for a lead part for the theater production this fall and I'm a volleyball manager too!On another note, my little sister is going to be a freshman!
But what I'm looking most forward to is Homecoming. Sure it's in October, but I get excited just thinking about it. I love the feeling as fall rolls into my little town. I love float building, and not to brag or anything, but my class won the float building competition our freshman and sophomore years. We're shooting for another victory this year.
Anyways, there is a poll at the bottom of the page for what you like the most school and one about superhero powers...random, I know, but I'm curious.
Anyways, I promise to get some more pictures up in the Picture Gallery, but until then, I'm signing out.

Painfully Awkward Intro

Hello, people of all sorts! My name is Katrina. I'm going to be a junior in high school and I thought this might be a cool thing for colleges to look at, you know. I've seen them ask for URLs for your Facebook or something that will impress them. For any admission reps. looking at this right now: hey! Anyways, this is my first blog and I'm kind of winging it. To give a quick intro about what will be going down here: art, music, and the exploration of life! That sounds cheesy, but I promise to make it fun and please give me feedback because I'd love to hear from you.
