Today, I had a fun, full day of learning! In photography class, we learned how to make prints out of our negatives. If you have never done this before, let me warn you now, the whole process is such a long and tedious procedure. From the fidgeting and fumbling around with the camera, trying to figure out the perfect aperture and shutter speed for each shot, to producing the negatives, to picking out and developing your final pictures. I may just like digital photography better for this reason, haha (jk). I can't wait until things become second nature to me. This class will be that much more enjoyable.
For my culinary class, we have moved on from practicing cuts on veggies to actually cooking. Today was starch day. We partnered up and each pair received two recipes to follow. And guess what? We did great! :)

Love Story Meets Viva la Vida -- Jon Schmidt
Jon Schmidt starts talking at 6:07. And everything he says really captures and grasps the emotional roller coaster you really feel when listening to Love Story. It's not something you tend to think about, and especially with a pop song like Love Story, you don't think to look at deeper roots that Love Story reaches, but with the background music and his words, it all hits home. I dare you to hit replay after finishing it once. Feel the music, look at the passion from the pianist and the love from the cellist.
The same goes with the second video. Music is truly an art that connects humans as social animals through collective feelings. And the only way musicians can fully accomplish that is to truly feel the music themselves. The honest passion and love for what they do, feeds into the deeper emotion we connect to; whether it be, sadness, a sense of longing, joy, bliss, frustration, or just pure happiness.
