Finally

So this semester of reading has been an interesting one to say the least. I am definitely not an avid reader by any means but I read when I can/ feel like it. My reading habits have not changed too much over the course of this semester. I've been reading books that are based on activities I'm interested in such as music, dance, and Show Choir. I typically find myself reading most on my bed or in the John. I struggle focusing on what I'm reading when there's a lot going on around me so I MUST read while listening to my iPod! Although I have struggled keeping up with my blogging about what I read, I have gotten something from my reading. My favorite reading from this semester would hands down be "Swear, Tears, and Jazz Hands," which I'm still reading. It is a complete and total history of Show Choir, from Vaudville to GLEE. So being that my reading habits have not changed much at all, I must sadly admit I don't think I will read nearly as much anymore. I just don't have much free time to sit down and read and I find it very difficult to get interesed and inticed in a book. Although reading is not my favorite thing ever, I have enjoyed this semester's reading, but not so much the blogging. Sorry Hill, It's just not my thing. So Goodbye fellow bloggers!! Its been a fun one!

Pages Read-175

Sentences  of the week:

-"Show Choir gave me a foundation, and leadership skills that helped me in my career."
   -Sweat Tears and Jazz Hands

-"All you GLEEKS can trace your GLEEK heritage back to some of the greats such as Bob Fosse!"
  -Sweat Tears and Jazz Hands

-"Show choirs of today have adopted the orignal vaudeville show idea, with a little refinement of course."


Notice all my sentences this week come from one book. "Sweat Tears and Jazz Hands" is a complete history of show choir, how it originated, and how it got to where it is today! For anyone that has been in show choir, or any type of choir, this is a must read! It's a great book. A neat fact-the book has two authors, Mike Weaver and Collen Hart, and Mike Weaver happens to Homestead High School's advanced show choir's choreographer!
