Scholarship Weekend/Idea

This weekend was Scholarship weekend at Augsburg, and I was able to host a super nice girl auditioning for a visual arts scholarship. We also got to go see the big show, eat in the cafeteria, and have a movie night with other participants and hosts. It was pretty fantastic. It reminded me of last year when I was the one spending the night and auditioning for my Music Scholarship. :) It was super fun to host someone, and I really hope I get to next year too! :) It would be fantastic :)

So while she was here, I talked her ear off (of course), and when we finally got ready for bed, she pulled out a little journal that she doodles in and stuff like that. SO I thought that I finally know what i am going to use my new journal for. It has been sitting on my bookshelf for months, and I am going to start putting things in it like quotes, memories, ideas, doodles, etc etc. So having her over did not only benefit me for keeping my scholarship (haha) but also because I finally know what I am going to do with my journal, which I am very excited about :D

Well, Adios amigos

Long time no see

Well, I know it has been a while since I have posted, but it has been a very busy semester so far! I am loving my classes, and most of all I am loving the music. I have started playing both Cello and Piano this semester, and while both are taking a lot of time and energy, i think it is totally worth it. I am taking Cello lessons, and my instructor is fantastic! Hopefully by next semester I will be able to join the Augsburg Orchestra. I know that I'm going to have to work my butt off, but i plan on doing exactly that! :)

Last night I went to the Augsburg play "365 Days/365 Plays" with a group of friends. It is a series of plays that Suzan-Lori Parks wrote once a day for a year. It was really a great performance, and I was very excited about seeing my friends put on their acting shoes and show me what they love to do! They did about 54 of the 365 plays, and it was a mix between both comedy and drama performaces. I thought everyone did a fantastic job, and I am very excited to see their next play when it comes out!

Also, this semester I have started a Women's Studies course, which I am highly enjoying, and I am very excited to tell you all about it! :)
