Hello again!

Yes I know it’s been a WHILE since I posted last. One of my friends said the other day that college is nothing but a never-ending to-do list. Since the last time I posted a blog I’ve done a lot of different things!

1) I moved into a new dorm with a fantastic view!

(Yes that's Beaver Stadium)

2) I played 2 concerts in Eisenhower Auditorium at Penn State

3) I performed in my first Tuba/Euphonium Studio Recital

4) I recorded some new Barbershop Multitracks

Blue Band is the thing that keeps me sane during the week. I like to play a game with myself in order for me to keep my grades up. I’ll make sure that the weekend has something fun planned for it. Usually it’s a football game or going home etc.

Apart from Blue Band, School is going well for the most part. I’m starting to get the hang of the whole college thing. Adjusting my schedule to fit in all the things that I have to do is becoming easier to do. I’m even getting time to things for myself! Me having free time is the key for me to stay on top of things. It’s also nice to have sunsets like this almost every night. Nothing relaxes you like nature.
