Well, I am officially done with my first week of college. So far I am in two singing groups, jazz band, and the cycling club/team. Can anybody say busy? It looks like I will be able to manage everything well enough though. So far I have made some friends in music and biking, and hope to make some more.
The food here tastes pretty good, however, my digestive system doesn't seem to agree. Many returning students have warned me that there is an acclimation period of about two weeks when it comes to the food. I'm not sure what all I'll do this weekend, but it looks like I might have a forty mile bike ride on Sunday afternoon. We'll have to see about that, but it sounds fun. I also bought a plant today at the plant sale. It is a Peperomia, whatever that is, but it looks good. I'll keep you posted on any exciting events over the weekend.

Well, I am in college now. How profound I am. I start classes tomorrow and then the real work starts, but I am already having fun. I am in a philosophy seminar for the first semester, and this class also acts like a small group. There are 17 people in my group and we have done several activities over the orientation weekend. Last night was the annual Wesleyan trivia night, and my group came in second place overall! Yay free smoothies!
I also found out yesterday that I made the Concert Chorale. I was very excited to say the least. That's about all as far as the exciting stuff is going. Oh, and I have been riding about an hour every morning. It will take awhile to get used to the whole hill thing, but it is going well. That's all for now. I will write later

I am still alive
Just is case some of you were wondering I am in fact still alive. I also still believe in the power of blogging, I just haven't been practising for a while. I will now proceed to post my schedule for the next three weeks. I have my jazz band and choir concert this Sunday starting at 1 p.m. It should be fun. The following Wednesday I have a music audition at West Virginia Wesleyan College. This audition is for possible scholarship money, so pray it goes well. The The weekend of March 7th, 8th and 9th I have my school musical as well as the International Federation of Independent Music Clubs piano competition at Heidelberg College in Tiffin. THe following Tuesday I will be leaving for my senior retreat in Plymouth Michigan.
That is the current brief overview of my life. Also, I went to the foot doctor yesterday and hopefully we will soon have a cure for my stinky feet that pass all understanding. I hope to possibly, maybe, update withing the month but we shall see.
