"Play me, I'm yours"

Ahhh! Such a cool idea!
If you haven't heard about it here is the short version...
41 artist painted pianos are placed in random spots around Toronto as a engaging art exhibit!! It is to mark the countdown to the 2015 Pan American Games and to celebrate art from various cultures. Each piano is designed by an artist picked to represent the 41 countries participating in the games.

 I am so jealous I am not in Toronto to witness it but I hope people take advantage and start outdoor concerts. It would be so uplifting and awesome to witness everyday people sitting down and showcasing their talents.

here is the link to the article. If you are in Toronto, go searching for these pianos!

- I wish they would do projects like these more often... it could get kids inspired (and away from video games :) )

Last!

today is the start of the end.

the last weekend I will be studying for block exams!
the countdown until the final exit comprehensive exam has begun.
34 days!! how's that for an update?

We are officially done learning new material in a classroom. I can't believe that I am finally in the spot where I can say that :).  It's so exciting (and a bunch of other mixed feelings - but I am only focusing on the excitement). I cannot wait until monday after exams!!
