The volunteer community that I'm in went to the local food bank today! That means that I went, as well. We sorted out food and packed boxes of food for four hours. To pass the time as I packed and passed cans to people, I sang. I got told that I have a good voice; hooray!
After we were finished packing, we got a tour of the warehouse. There was a MASSIVE amount of food. According to the woman who was sort of our "poke you in the right direction if you're doing something wrong" person, that particular food bank provides millions of pounds (I forget the exact number) of food to people every year. At one point she took us through the freezer section; I swear the inside of my nose froze. Everybody ran through that part, and when we got out into the warmer area again, my glasses fogged up. They didn't de-fog after about a minute, so I had to clean them off on my shirt.
Now I am back in my dorm, eating chips and drinking Sprite and working on a Labyrinth music video. I made one about a week back, but the program was SO glitchy the entire time. Or so I thought. It turns out that now that I've converted the video file I'm using to a different format, I'm not having any more problems in that respect. Can I get a "BOO-YAH."

So Cold, but So Alive
I haven't posted anything new in a while; shame on me. Here's a low-down of what went on with me today:
1) I practiced some piano. I've got "To Zanarkand", "Pato no Shounen," and "Eyes on Me" down pretty well. I make a few mistakes now and then, but they're pretty much memorized. Hooray!
2) I was going to go to a friend's voice recital, but then the volunteer community I'm in called my cell and told me to get my rear to a meeting (not in those exact words, but that was the basic gist of it). There I was surprised with a birthday cake and a very nice card signed by everyone in the community. I was quite touched; it was very sweet of them to do something like that for me.
3) I went to an Aztec Dance class, and ended up joining the group. According to one of the co-captains, I'm a fast learner. I was all, "Awesome." Since I'm new and there have been classes going on for a little while, I need to call the co-captain and get a "catch-up lesson." There's some mad fundraising that's going to be going on, since costumes and equipment (such as drums and maracas) are going to total around $7,000. Yes, that much. So we need money, and preferably soon.
4) I was going to go to the Mujeres' Writing Group in the evening, but apparently the building it's normally in closes at five, and now I have no clue where the group is meeting. So I went to Anime Club instead, and watched three episodes of the live-action series of "Sailor Moon." It was horrible in a hilarious way, and I feel less intelligent just from watching it.
In other news, I had a birthday this Tuesday! I am now eighteen. Old enough to get married. Okay, that's kind of a weird thought. Time for a change of subject.
I belong to a group on the website Ravelry called the "Harry Potter Knitting\Crochet House Cup." It is pretty much made of win, and anyone who belongs to Ravelry should check it out. It's a new month, and that means new classes posted! I'm pretty psyched about it, because I can do a knitting\crochet project for every class. Can't wait to get on planning what exactly I'm going to do.
I also need to make an appointment with my adviser for the end of the month in order to decide on my schedule for next semester. I plan to take an English class, perhaps World Literature, and a music class, too, probably Music Theory or something. And continue guitar lessons. I don't know, though; I'm not really feeling it for guitar. Maybe I just need a little more time? I mean, I also don't practice as much as I should, so I should probably remedy that, as well. I might replace guitar with voice? Or piano? We shall see.
