I am “deciding” between two very different topics to focus my passion blog on. On one end of the spectrum stands the presence of classical music in modern society. As a lover and performer of classical music, I always find it interesting to explore outlets where it still exists even in today’s pop culturally oriented society. Whether it be analyzing the melodies of more modern compositions, or heading to Philadelphia to see a traditional Baroque chamber group perform, classical music still exists for those who are willing to look for it, and I believe a blog about classical music’s current existence could possibly make that search a bit less of a burden. On the other end of the spectrum stand Penn State’s favorite little furry friends- squirrels. Squirrels are my absolute favorite animal and have been ever since I was a small child. I did not have very many opportunities for squirrel sightings in my home town, and the transition from a squirrel-less area to a practical squirrel sanctuary is both exciting and overwhelming. If I chose to write about squirrels, I would most likely focus on squirrel related stories in current news and general squirrel facts… I would also attempt to disprove the popular belief that squirrels are a burden on society, and gush over their fluffy tails. Do I sound like a weirdo yet? I’ll stop typing now.
