The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind...

I'm having one of those days where I constantly have different songs popping into my head. Mostly I've been in a Bob Dylan funk, and it's songs such as, Vision of Johanna and Blowin' In The Wind, that keep distracting me. I saw Bob Dylan in concert in May, and was in the front row. It was probably one of the greatest experiences I've had yet -- I can't wait to see him live again. I've been to a lot of concerts, seen a lot of live music, and despite the fact that Dylan 67 years old, I swear he's still a great performer. Being so close to this little old man who is such a legend in American music, and music all around the world, the energy in the venue was just completely indescribable.

So anyways, here we are - another day in the office. Most of us here are working on getting our blogs up to speed and fiddling with the format, colors, pictures, etc. There's a lot that goes into blogging, I'd never realized how much thought and time goes into this process. Also, I gave my first tour today! It went very well I think, and thankfully Haley came with me to keep me company and fill in the blanks when I forgot some information :).


The school work seems to be accumulating pretty quickly. I have a PR project I really need to start thinking about. We have to market a specific organization and I have no idea where to begin -- definitely an assignment to think about this week. In World Lit this week we're reading a novel called "The Secret River" and it's about Australia which is really interesting because I don't know the history of Aus at all. I love learning about other cultures especially through a well written book. The novel we read last week is "A Long Long Way" by Sebastian Barry. It was about Irish involvement in World War I and the divide of ideas and opinions in Ireland - whether to go out and fight for the British, or to refuse to fight and demand freedom of Ireland. The story followed the journey of an Irish solider, and all the hardships he endured.




For all you jazz fans out there, there is a free jazz festival going on this weekend! It's called Beantown Jazz, and it's all along Columbus Ave on Saturday. Even if you aren't a huge jazz fan, nothing beats seeing live music on a beautiful day in Boston (well let's hope it'll be nice out) :).


Wow, long post. Have a great week everyone!
