Research day: HOPE.

Great. A whole day to do a bunch of research necessary for 1) the mural we are doing for school and 2) commencement. Well, and 3) just for myself.

I was looking today for inspirational quotes/pictures for concepts such as hope, change, and the future, and here are a few interesting things I found that I will not be using anywhere in my work:

"Don't wonder how valuable you are, wonder how you are valuable."

"Once in a while it hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in a way they have been told to."

By the way, I decided to start a log of what songs get stuck in my head throughout the day, so I recorded a few today. If I suddenly realized I was humming something, I wrote it down and, well, here's my list (most of these I wrote down before 4 o'clock today):

1. I Believe in Love--Barlow Girl

2. True Love--Phil Wickham

3. You Found Me--The Fray (yeah I was having a mellow morning)

4. Holiday--Green Day (not quite sure where this one came from)

5. Dear God--Avenged Sevenfold (the chorus was stuck in my head)

6. ...I'm the Only Gay Eskimo--Corky & The Juice Pigs (oh goodness don't ask! this was seriously stuck in my head after Government class today!!)

7. The Unforgiven III--Metallica

Keep thinking.
