Just a quick update to let you guys know that I'm still alive. So yeah, I've been having a pretty awesome time. Music Theory has been tough but it's cool actually learning what all this stuff means. So parents weekend is in two weeks and I'm excited since Symphonic Band is having it's first concert and I was given a solo at the beginning and in the middle of ave maria where it's just me playing. Anyway, other than music things have been pretty cool. I decided to try fencing again and they didn't have any female epee fencers on the team and they decided that I knew too much just to do beginning lessons so now I'm on the team. What kind of sucks is that the days of the first two competitions are on the days of concerts. What else...I've been staying up really late. I should really try to catch up on my sleep. Last weekend on friday I was up until 5 am and then this weekend for the past two nights I was up until like 3. College life...Last night we played sardines on the main green which was a lot of fun. And ordered pizza. I'm going to get so fat. I'm hoping fencing will help me out there. I hope ya'll are having fun. College is suppose to be fun. It have been stressful staying up late to write papers, but we can only be 18 for so long...well 17 in my case. I miss you guys dearly. I haven't really been hanging out with a lot of band geeks outside of class since I've been here, but it's nice not having anything to complain about the music program and faculty...*cough* Holen. Alright well I should go do my theory worksheets, stupid minor scales. Who needs 'em? Well the other day we did listen to a Bob Marley song that used minor seconds a lot, so I guess they're pretty cool. Here are some pictures:
My mobile of pants since the dryers here don't really dry your clothes very well..Whatcha gonna do?
My friend Marshall from Bellingham, he's a goof, aka a percussionist.
Kind of blurry...whatever

Don't worry, I haven't become a Packers fan. I bought the cheesehead for my grandma.
