30 Day Song Challenge - Day 24

Gosh, it's been a while, hasn't it? It's so hard to believe it has been 2 weeks since I was in England. I'm currently doing summer courses, which is a new experience for me, and is a lot more intense than I had imagined. I'm two weeks in and I already have midterms and papers rearing their ugly heads because the courses have been condensed from an entire semester into 6 weeks!
I have been spending the past few weeks firstly enjoying my time at home, then moving and settling into both my apartment for the summer and my timetable, but I'm back now, so I will hopefully be doing a bit of blogging.
Today's description gave me some trouble A song that you want to play at your funeral. How do you come up with that? Most of the songs I thought about seemed terribly self-indulgent or overly miserable, but I think I have chosen one which satisfies me. Rather than being about me, it would be to thank my friends for being there throughout my life :)

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 23

I think there may be some delays with the 30 Day Song Challenge for the next week or so - I am home and have lots of fun things to do and lovely weather, and my internet access is sporadic at best! Today is May Day and some of my friends and I went to join the May morning celebrations in Oxford. I will post a full account in the next few days - I took so many photos, I ought to share some of them - but I had a brilliant time, and I am so happy to be back in Oxfordshire for the moment. Until I went away to Vancouver I took this place for granted, but now I really appreciate what a wonderful place this is to grow up and live. I can't see myself staying anywhere else for too long!

So, back to the challenge - today is a song that you want to play at your wedding. I haven't given too much thought to how I would want my wedding to be, but I think romantic songs are generally appropriate, so I have chosen a song that I think is very romantic.
