Going to the Opera
This weekend I went to see Tosca by Puccini in at The Met. It was so much fun. It was in Italian, so it was a bit confusing (luckily the backs of the seats had captions). I loved it so much: there was nothing but singing! There are three different acts, all have different sets, all of which are beautiful. In between the acts (when they are setting up the new stages) they serve us lunch (or dinner). It is really good food! I would recommend that everyone goes to an opera soon because a lot of opera houses are closing and soon there will be very few (if any) left.
Tuesdays With Morrie Reflection
Over winter break, I read the book Tuesdays With Morrie. The book is one by a man named Mitch Albom. The book tells the story of a man who goes to his old professor from college when he hears that he is dying from ALS. ALS is a degenerative disease that wears down your nerves until you die from the inability to breath. While going through his prolonged death, Morrie “learned how to live.” Mitch found that he needed to say goodbye to his old professor, and so on every Tuesday, he went through his last class with Morrie.
