Spring. Break?

Spring break has begun, but what’s a Jordon to do? Play guitar: check. Sit around and do nothing: check. Study: not check. I don’t really have plans for spring break. I guess I’ll just be hanging out with my friends. I do need to do that studying thing, though. We’ve finished the textbook in AP European History, so it’s review time. That might be how I’ll be spending a lot of my time. Plans of going bowling tonight with a couple of AP Euro buddies are forming, so that could be cool. We should probably get together to study one of these days, too.

I’ve indeed had a lot of time to play my guitar. Yesterday I spent a few hours playing and working on songs. It’s not something I talk about much because my songs are pretty personal (that is, I’d be personally crushed if you told me how bad they were). I’ve finished three or four in the past week, which is unheard of for me. Maybe I could put some of my dumb songs on this site, but there are always concerns of bandwidth, copyright, and excessive criticism… not to mention that my uber-cool digital recorder is on the blink. (Something involving corrupted files. Good thing it’s under warranty.) If there’s a sufficient demand (and if I can get the recorder fixed), then maybe I’ll follow through with it.

Today on Skype it was Call Jordon Kalilich to Practice Your English Day. I usually get a call/chat or two on the weekends, but today I got calls from various people the Czech Republic, Lithuania, China, Poland, Israel, and Brazil. The latter (last?) of these was a group of students, many of whom I tried to have conversations with for up to several minutes. Out of all the people I’ve talked to today, some of them were interesting and had good English. Others weren’t and didn’t. But maybe in the future I won’t set my status as “Skype Me” so I can get a break from the random calls. It is interesting to speak to random people once in a while, but it’s easier if they’re fluent in the same language as me.

Here’s a height/weight chart with a bunch of photographs of people with certain heights and weights.
