Went to UNC last weekend. Thanks Brandy for the e-mail which reminded me to write about it. It was cool...I liked it. My mom went there for medical school so I called her. I think I woke her up though because it was a Saturday morning. For lunch they gave us NC style barbeque, you know, with the vinegar seasoning and no barbeque sauce. I love NC ( Read more... )

Today was interesting. The entire day, from the moment I woke up at 7:15 to when I got back to my room at 9:20, a steady, unwavering drizzle of rain came down from the fringes of Senor Ernesto. Consequently, band practice was moved from the practice field to the Rector Field House on the hill above the field. The football team practices there ( Read more... )

This weekend I went back to Roanoke. I got lots of free meals which is nice. It was my cousin Jessica's (not Lindsey's, the one that goes to school with me) birthday. Lindsey and I went shopping for her and threw her a little party. I also got to go school shopping and get some vital supplies. I now have zebra cakes so everyone can breathe easier.

Today was crazy 4 classes followed by band practice followed by seminar day. It wasn't bad. It was really serene getting up in the morning. The campus was really quiet and pretty. I'm quickly finding myself overwhelmed though. I miss the high school system where school was in chunks. You know, a seven hour day followed by extra-curricular ( Read more... )

Today was STS 1540 AKA Intro to Humanities, Science, and Technology. That class wasn't too bad. I read the first reading assignment. It was interesting enough. The class is like english class where the reading material is science and technology rather than literature. You have to argue points about how sci and tech have interacted with the ( Read more... )

So as most of you have heard VT made NATIONAL NEWS! Every thing's fine now. I was just leaving for my first class when I was told everything was canceled. I sat in my room and watched USA network all day which included a 6 hour movie block. Meet the Parents, 50 First Dates, and Along Came Polly where the selections of the day ( Read more... )

So today was a pretty easy day. Hot showers...that was good. Band members got to sleep in a little and the long hours were filled with activities that were easy. In the post-dinner session, it began to drizzle so the director told us to go under the south end-zone of the stadium. There are about 350 of us in all and we were snaking our way to the ( Read more... )

Day 3 ( Read more... )

So it's the end of day 2. All the marching practice on the field went well. Again I'm super exhausted. This afternoon though, all the returning members came back and we had music rehearsals in the coliseum. It was amazing to play with 330+ other people. I was kinda sucking though. Not prepared at all for the difficulty or duration (3:00 hours) of ( Read more... )

So I've totally revamped my journal...and by totally revamped I mean I only changed the title and deleted all the previous entries ( Read more... )
