I just had class today from 8:30 until 3, which actually was not as awful as it seems. I loved all of my classes and I think it is going to be a great term.
I would like to share two stories of something that happened this week and both are music related.
First, I had a private concert! I was killing some time between classes and decided to sit in the Nipissing music lounge. A first year student was there playing the piano and thus I was treated to a lovely concert as I read Oliver Twist. This first year was playing the piano and singing and later played his guitar with his friend who also brought her guitar. They both had wonderful voices and were excellent musicians. I would have to say that enjoying other people's talents is a simple pleasure. There are so many wonderful talents out there and I regret leaving without thanking them both for sharing their music with me. So here I go: Thank you musically inclined strangers for a wonderful concert!
The second musically story is a Canada story. My Canadian History since the Confederation professor promised to play a song at the beginning of every lecture to help wake us up, as this is an 8:30am class. Because today was just a short lecture that only involved going over the course syllabus, she played the most Canadian song I know. The Hockey Song by Stompin' Tom Connors. I would like to say that the entire class started to sing but unfortunately my life is not that awesome. The entire class did, however, start to grin from ear to ear. Then I started to think if there was another song that represents Canada as much as this song does. And I am not even a huge hockey fan!
So enjoy this song (this video was the best one available) and let me know what song you think represents Canada for you. Besides our national anthem, of course!
