Lullabies

1 pm: rest time/ nap time

Songs to listen to in the background as going to sleep. I'm also going to be writing reviews under each video. I'm still stuck with listening to the 'Cayucas' Pandora station. I can't make myself change the station. I haven't even had to skip a song except for one time.

Time to Run
     ~Lord Huron

Review: Great music, great video, and great lyrics.I do not have any idea what the lyrics mean but I do know that there is a website where you can comment your input on what your idea for the lyrics mean: http://songmeanings.com/songs


New Year's Eve
    ~Mal Blum

Review:Such a great song.


Crazy

Review: My favorite version of Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy."


Lullaby
   ~Listolet

Review:


No
    ~Shakira

Review: love the black and white. Her moves were very emotional and her tears were very simple and added the perfect touch to the video. Love the lyrics as well.

It's Alright
    ~Matt & Kim

Review: Great dance coordination. I also liked looking up the video explaining how the dance moves were made up and worked on. Great artists in general.


Lemonade
    ~CocoRosie

Review: I love how the artists used such unique sounds to make such a sweet melody. I love the duet aspect and I love the combination of each sound. Very musical.


Me Voy
   ~Julieta Venegas

Review: Love her attitude in this video. It's such a pretty song but such blunt lyrics.


And last, but certainly not least: CAYUCAS, album Bigfoot

Review:Good music. And the videos I have seen, I've thought were really cute and simple. Really nice videos to go with calming music such as this album.


Music is positively, absolutely a thumbs up!

P.S. I will be editing and re-editing this blog post because I know that these reviews are very shallow and do not convey my entire thoughts on every aspect of the song and video.

Hush Little Baby...

...don't you cry.

Rest time; so essential to the college students' everyday lives. We are overworked with what we're not used to, with the amount of time we're not use to dedicating to one thing for so long a time.

1 pm break til 5 pm
Class size: 1 (myself--i like to enjoy my free time alone...i have friends but i also have homework and naps to take care of) [of course, I'd gladly give up my free time to help a friend in need]

I make sure to eat three meals a day as well. Breakfast and dinner with friends and lunch with boyfriend. And I usually eat lunch after health and fitness (noon) and then go to rest and work on class work.

This is my layout during my break time (different for everybody):

• find an empty room in 3rd floor library or empty room in Classics building (if in library, use the comfy cushions)
• put on earphones and go on Pandora on my laptop*

*right now I'm listening to the "Cayucas" station on Pandora; I heard about this band from an upperclassmen that I respect. I've been listening to them for a month now; I have not changed the station since I've put it to this band:

• check out email, g mail, Facebook, and my college website for any class information
• take a 20 min nap:  http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887323932604579050990895301888

• work on homework
• start on English because I want to focus on my English major and later when I take music classes I'll also focus more on those (Music & English MAJOR!!! That's me)
• work on projects
• I should probably focus on my Health & Fitness STD project soon
• prepare for club meetings
• I'm historian for our Kaleidoscope (diversity) club this year

Recommended song for the day:

Rest Rating: Thumbs UP

WARNING!!!! Do not ever wake a person up from a nap unless it's a life or death situation!!!
