Want to hear a fun fact? Thanksgiving week last year, I read The Martian by Andy Weir. It’s an excellent book, I highly recommend it. Well, this year, the day after Thanksgiving, I finally watched the movie. I noticed it on Netflix, and the timing just felt right. Now I’m wondering if I should make this some kind of personal Thanksgiving tradition. Every year watch or read The Martian. I don’t know, but it’s an idea.

It’s business as usual here, for the most part. I go to class, I sit in the library and do homework. Occasionally, I’ll watch a movie with other people in the castle.
I’ve also joined the chorus group at the castle. At first, I was a little worried, because the last time I was in a chorus was in middle school. I’d never been very good at sight reading music to begin with, and was certain I’d forgotten what little I had known in the time since. However, I found myself surprised by how quickly it came back to me. I don’t fully remember the names of all the symbols, or what note corresponds with which line. But I remember what each symbol is telling me to do, and that’s the important bit.
I’m really enjoying being part of a chorus group again. I’d forgotten how much fun it had been. It’s a little funny to me — I’d stopped taking chorus when I went into high school, because I could either take the chorus elective or the German elective, and now I’m doing chorus in German.
