Grad Book Cover

I am now working on the grad book cover design and I thought it would be a good idea to share my progress.

This is how it looks like at this stage:

Hamilton Symphony Orchestra

Okay, now I ve got only less than half an hour to rush be for the boarding house cut off the internet.

Today was the first day of school after the winter semester break. All my best friends in my year are not back to school yet… still on their way coming back…

When I walked back to school on my own, I realized how afraid of being alone I am. It is the first time I went to school without all of them.

After school, I went to the local orchestra. The music was difficult for a beginner player like me. Although I was familiar with all of the musics they are playing with, I was lost when I try to follow… I was enjoyable to play with an orchestra.

And now I have to start working (at 10) as the practice finishes at 9pm. I wonder when was the last time I got back to my room at such a late time after music practice. I really missed the time I was in the imsc orchestra!

My Granny Lady of wisdom

My granny is an open-minded lady with elegance and wisdom in her air when she speaks and her choice of e-mails to forward.

In her retired life, she spends quite a lot of time e-mailing "word of wisdom" to me. A few weeks ago, she sent me seventeen sentences for better life.

And here they are:

1. You do not have to win every argument.  Agree to disagree.

2. No one is in charge of your happiness except you .

3. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"

4. Forgive everyone for everything.

5. What other people think of you is none of your business.

6. Time heals almost everything.  Give time, time.

7. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

8. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.  Your friends will.  Stay in touch.

9. Let go of anything that is not useful, beautiful or joyful.

10. Envy is a waste of time.  You already have all you need .

11. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

12. Do the right thing RIGHT.

13.Call your family often.
 
14. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:  "I am thankful for __________."  Today I accomplished _________.

15. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

16. Enjoy the ride. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly do not want a fast pass.  You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride .

17. The BEST  is yet to come !

May your troubles be less, May your blessings be more.  And may nothing
but happiness come through your door !
