how pretty

I found this picture in an email from Doug last year. It's somewhere in Italy. I wish I could be there right now. Look how pretty it is!

This morning I noticed a flock of birds in the sky making formations on the way to school. They were really neat to watch, because they changed shape seemlessly, like a machine or something. It reminded me of how when my Dad and I will be driving somewhere he'll notice a hawk or a herring or something, and point it out. I think the coolest thing he showed me was the night we were coming home from somewhere and there was a whole family of rabbits out in the yard and the started to scurry away from the headlights on the truck, and as we got out dad did that whistle where you pull your lower lip under the upper, the one i can not under any circumstances do, and he whistled very loudly, and like clockwork the bunnies stopped. It was really remarkable.

I feel like I should be doing schoolwork, but I can't seem to make myself do it. I only practiced for 30 minutes today too. Meh. I am to the point that I just want to coast through the rest of the lessons. I know I can't though. When I get home I am going to work on Aural Skills stuff for a couple hours, get a shower and read for the rest of the night. Hopefully that book I ordered will arrive today. It's something Kate told me to read called "Blue Like Jazz".
