Time is passing soooooooo fast!!! I can't believe Thanksgiving is already over, and I'm getting quite nervous and anxious for the end of school. I still can't imagine not having to wake up so early to drive to Northridge.. not walking through out campus of construction galore, and not eating from the "roach coach". Buttttttttttttttttttttttttttt..... I'm excited to start some new stuff!
My trip to SF was great! I went up on Thursday evening with my cousin Lori and the next morning, my cousin who lives in Seattle (for school) joined us. We had lots of bonding time...rented some movies and did some shopping. My sister's recital was WONDERFUL... she sang beautifully! There were so many people at her recital, the hall wasn't big enough! Needless to say, we are all very proud of her and know that this is just the beginning :)
After that, I guess came Thanksgiving. I have to admit, this year my Thanksgiving was quite LAME. It was spent at my house, with just my family (mom, dad, brother, gramma). My dad had woken up at the crack of dawn (maybe earlier) and had made the Thanksgiving meal. So by 1pm, everything was ready. It was 2pm when he finally convinced us to eat (no patience whatsoever) and so we sat and ate. It was actually the first Thanksgiving that we spent without any extended family, and to tell you the truth, I didn't quite like it. I like the noise, and the laughter, and all the other things that come with a big family get together.
Yesterday we had a guest at our house.... his name is Maestro Tigran Hekekyan. He is the maestro for the Little Singers of Armenia. He had come all the way from Armenia just for my sister's performance. Anyways, so we were sitting around the dinner table and talking and he was telling various different stories about his travels around the world with the Little Singers and all the different people he had met along the way. What really got me thinking is the following: As Armenians, we are ALL little public relations people for our country and our cause. Every single one of us needs to be educated enough to be able to promote who we are and educate others as to what our cause is. Are we doing this? Let's all stand back for a second and think about all the people we know. Do they "represent"? ( Actually, I can think of a lot of people who I wouldn't want representing Armenians as a whole. ) We need to be assertive people like the Nazo who called into the Kevin and Bean interview. The only way that we can reach others and have them understand who we are and where we come from, in order for them to be sympathetic with our cause, is to TEACH them.
Just some random thoughts this morning...
