Being at Belmont, I can confidently say that I have learned so much about who I am as an individual, because everyone is so different here. People are from all over the country, not one of my closest friends is from the South (which I love!). Having such a diverse environment has made me more aware of my assumptions. Being from the South, ( Read more... )

Today, I tried taking my daily nap and failed. Well, after the electric guitar person in Maddox started playing I assume it inspired the drummer in another Maddox room to join in making music unto the Lord…and all of Wright, Kennedy and Maddox, except they were not exactly practicing together or on any sort of similar tempo so it was just noise.

Well I’m back! Belmont had spring break last week and it was so much fun! Megan and I went to Chicago and stayed in an awesome hotel downtown, I felt so grown up and adultish all of a sudden…WEIRD!!

Kassi, Megan, Kristin, Trace, Jenna, and I went to a filming of a “Mercy Me unplugged" like thing. It was a pilot to a new station for like CMT (I can’t think of any other TV station because no one actually plays music any ( Read more... )

Saturday night we were ( Read more... )

i think famous country music stars have day jobs at Belmont. Its entirely possible. This is Nashville. Yesterday, my classroom was locked and so a maintenance man had to come and unlock it. i swear it was Keith Urban, even my friends said that it was him.

I hope everyone had a thankful and filling thanksgiving! It was so great to be home and see everyone. I miss everybody sooo much. I didn’t realize it until I was around my friends, but they are such relief and an encouragement, because between us there are acres of common ground that I took for granted. I don’t have to make that “religious / ( Read more... )
