I just want to say that I am super excited. J.K. Rowling just released the name of the 7th Harry Potter book this morning. This gives me something to look forward to.

I know this can be some grand life long question, but sometimes I wonder. It has been really hard trying to start over at a new school, which is so different, without any friends, and being horribly shy. I am doing well in my classes, but socially it is a whole other ballpark. What is wrong with me? I seriously would like to know if I am a bad ( Read more... )

Well I had no clue what my experience at Kent State was going to be like when I started back in August. I was so used to Wells and how everything worked there. Going to school with 30,000 people is a huge change from 400. I really miss Wells and the close, protective environment it fosters, but what I think I miss the most are my friends and ( Read more... )

I thought I would write a very quick journal entry. I have had a long, exhausting summer of painting dorms on the Wells campus. I have not done too much. Sarah and Mark have made two lovely visits and I saw Meghan as well. I have read quite a bit this summer and I have started to put together some real plans for the coming year. I will be ( Read more... )

Well I am now well into my thesis, which is very good. I am just waiting to get really nervous about this conference. This conference has been one of the few good things year. Ever since I came home from Englad, things just have not gone well. I really feel like a bit of failure. Penniman keeps telling me not to, but it is hard to see yourself ( Read more... )

I have to head home today. If anybody needs me I can be reached at 216-375-1256 or at home at 216-252-6308. I will be flying back to Wells Wednesday morning. If anybody can give me a ride or knows anyone who can around 11AM let me know. If if I have to wait a few hours I do not care. Anyways, enought about me. I hope everyone had wonderful ( Read more... )

So the rules are, once you've been tagged you have to write a blog with 6 weird things/habits about yourself. In the end you need to list 6 other people to tag and list their names ( Read more... )

Reese Witherspoon won an Oscar!!! It was the highlight of the night. I am thoroughly happy now. Not so happy about Crash winning, but at least they gave an award to Ang Lee.

Well I have not updated in awhile, so I thought I would. My life right now is kind of unfocused, but busy. I am in a real quandry right now about what to do with my life. I sent in the last of my application to Florida State and if I do not get in I think I might try to join some sort of abroad program like the peace corp or try to apply to ( Read more... )

I have not update for a bit, so I figured I would. My January break was spent at OSU-ATI, where I interned with a music professor and a visiting instructor from Ghana. Dr. Elder had me do research for her book on Amish music, go to an Amish school with her to hear children sing, and visit an Amish woman at her house to talk about music. I also ( Read more... )
