The Search For A Voice

As Spring Break Approaches…

Wow, what a day yesterday was. Somehow I ended up having three major tests (one was a take home) in one day; under normal circumstance that might not be such an extraordinary occurrence, but it is for me considering that I only have three classes that give tests (I also have another 6 hours this semester, but 3 are for my thesis and 3 are an 8 week course that has not started yet). So my test average yesterday was 3 for 3, woo-hoo. Anyway, so that's enough about school.

Micah and I are going to be heading down to Florida on Friday for our very last Spring Break. A good friend of ours from freshman year lives down there now so we'll be crashing with him for a few days and just having a good time. Hopefully the weather will be warm enough to go the beach some, but if not, I' m sure we'll find something fun to do. Unfortunately I am planning on taking some work with me, my thesis is turning into a monster and I can't afford to take another week off, but it won't be too bad.

Well, I hope that everyone else is having a good semester. What are you going to be doing for Spring Break? (if you are so lucky to have one)

until next time...

Back at home, at least for a few days…

Hello everyone! Just thought I would give a little update on what's going on here in Nashvegas; most of last week was fairly uneventful but on Thursday Micah and I hit the road for a little weekend road trip to Pennsylvania. We were very pleased that the weather held itself back while we were driving. The weather reports on Wednesday were predicting doom and destruction for the entire weekend; well, as much as I appreciate the weatherman's efforts, I'm glad we didn't pay too much attention to him, because the weather was almost perfect.

On Thursday we drove up through Virginia to Eastern PA so that I could go to a job interview on Friday morning. I think the interview went well, but it was one of those situations where the company is less concerned with your skills as much as your personality. They figure if they can find people who will "fit" with their company culture, they can train them to do the job. So with that said, I have no idea if I will get offered a job. If they don't offer me a job I won't be upset or offended by it, I was honest with them and let them see who I am, but since they are the ones who understand their company's culture, it's up to them to make an honest assessment of how well I would fit with the company. Also, on that note, I would appreciate it if everyone would not ask me about it in the future, I know the questions are well intentioned, but if I get offered a job and choose to accept it I will post something on here about it, otherwise you can just assume that it didn't work out for some reason. It's just that if it doesn't work out, I don't want to get stuck having to explain it over and over again. It's like when you breakup with a girl and then everyone asks you, "So are you still dating ____?" and you have to say something trite like "We just decided to go our separate ways" or some other nonsense.

So after doing that on Friday morning, we hopped back in the SUV and headed to Grove City College in Grove City, PA (which is on the western side of the state about an hour out from Pittsburg). This is where Rochelle, Micah's girlfriend, is at school and so we went there so he could see her. Overall I had a fun time, certainly not as much fun as Micah had, but still a good weekend. We spent the weekend hanging out with Rochelle's roommate Kara and her boyfriend Dan (who's room we stayed in). This of course left me as the dangling 5th wheel all weekend, but the others were all very generous and did there best not to completely ignore me. On Sunday, we got an early start and made it back here to Nashville by 5:30, which made me happy because I was able to attend my church small group with Laura.

Well, now I'm back at home and trying to avoid doing homework. I've spent most of the day trying to coordinate schedules so for a recording project I'm doing for my Honors Thesis. I still haven't been able to get it completely worked out but I'm going to keep working on it.

I hope everyone is having a good week. Drop me a note about what you're up to. =)

Until next time...
