The Sound Of Music

You know that thing that happens every exam? Yeah, that thing where to whole world conspires against you and no matter how you try to concentrate it throws something incredibly interesting at you? Like the fact that Oprah managed to gather the entire cast of The Sound of Music together for the first time since their movie premiere? Luckily I was able to pull away before I got caught up in the whole thing.

I'm not really a big fan of The Sound of Music, and even though I love most of the songs, I find it frankly annoying the amount of time people play them. But really, who doesn't like The Sound of Music (except for Hitler and the Nazis)? It one of the greatest movies of all time...OF ALL TIME!!...errmm sorry about that...channeled a little bit of Kanye there for a second. Studying is sending me crazy!!

Anyway, the The Sound of Music is based on a book written by the real Maria Von Trapp on her experiences in Austria. I would imagine that actually experiencing the events of the movie would be a lot less happy and a lot more scary than portrayed. She may not have thought it to be the wonderful things we think about today when we hear about The Sound of Music. But as I saw today on Oprah, the movie inspired people to do everything from inspiring one woman to become a nun to helping a partially deaf girl to find her true potential.

So even though you make think that you may be going through crap right now, thing of this: If one woman could survive being chased by Nazis with seven children and her husband in tow, and make it into a story so wonderful that it inspires everyone in the world, then you situation is probably not as bad as it seems. Who knows? It may inspire someone to become a nun...in the best sort of way.

Back to studying now...see you guys tomorrow!!
