Stay The Course

I decided since I'm always at the computer everyday that I would start to keep this journal as a way to remember college a little better. Things are going good so far except for my lessons. I just dont seem to have the motivation to do it anymore. We have this thing called Barrier tests were over the semester we work on 3 books and at the end of the semester they call out any exercize, one in each book, and we have to be able to play them perfectly. Its really tuff up here but I know I can make it if I just try harder.

The people up here are great though. Sarah is sweet and cute, a typical Lake Highlands chick. Fran is extreamly talented in art and fun to hang with. Next is Karina, Fran's roommate, who was a drill team member back in highschool. She is probably the most fun to talk to because we connect really well. Marcy is the crazy Houston (Uston) girl who is always singing some song or another. Travis is cool. We hang out sometimes and just chill. We have music fundementals together at 8am MWF so we studied a little for it then just played computer games till 11pm. Landen is the crazy clown, Andrew is the bass player, Brenna is my band banquet date who smokes way to much, Vennesa is the theater singer who is moving to Michagain next year. Sometimes we will sit and sing songs that we know together. I'll never forget the time we went outside at 1am and danced in the water singing old musical songs.

But I still miss my friends from home. I miss Morgan's smile to great me in band each day, Vickie's complaining about being a Jew, Raul's coolness, Evan's stuborness, Ethan's hint of bad ass, Stephen's "im a pimp" vibe, Dustie's crazyness, Casey's sweetness, and just alot of other little things.

I know I can't go back now, but even if I could I probably wouldn't. I know this is were I belong now and no matter how bad I think it gets I know I have to stick with it till the end. The bible says "Stay the course" and I suppose that's my motto for this year. Well, I have to go eat lunch and then practice some more. I'll start to wrtie everyday from now on so I'll write again soon.
