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.

another weekend

Well, this has been a busy weekend. I finally finished a 1000+ page book that I was reading called The Winds of War. It was a good book but it was very disapointing to find out at the end that it is simply setting you up for the sequel. Oh well, didn't kill me and I did enjoy the book. This upcoming week is going to be a little crazy, with two shows to go to and a piano recital/competition. It will be a good week though. The end of daylight saveings time is always sad, but the seasons roll on. By the way, my sister and I were having a disscussion about how almost every native culture that we could think of all over the world has war drums. It is interesting how you can know that it is a war beat without even knowing what is going on. Oh well, that is all for now.

Fine, I'll post since you insist. Well, today I went with Alex Fries (pronounced freeze) and gave him a tour of the Episcopal church here in town. He was duly impressed, and I did something I have never done before. I actually went up into the bell tower! We didn't actually go into the room where the bell is, but when I went to push up the trap door into that part, about three inches of pigeon poop slid off of the door! Super K would have loved it! Anyway, Alex got some pictures without actually going up there. There is only one bell, but there are two ropes. One actually swings the bell and the other is for a hammer that hits the bell. It is interesting.

The amazing part is that I actually went up there with rickity ladders and all. It was fun though. After that we went over to St. Marys and went up in their bell tower. It was pretty cool, I could see Plum Brook Station from up there. Well, thats about all that I did today. Pretty fun stuff.

Well, I have started my senior year of High School. I'm not sure what I think about it so far, but I will let you all know as I figure it out. (HA). Life is changing, (Gasp, CHANGE!!!) but that is good. I will try to give a real update soon.
