That's false, actually, as I have plenty of spare time most days.
So, I declare an end to excuses and a new blog post instead!
What happened during October, you ask? Lots of wonderful, wonderful things :)
(If I forget anything, forgive me...)
I went on Fall Break with Twisted Measure! See the TM Blog for more details and pictures! It was basically one of the greatest trips I've ever taken with the greatest group of people I've met so far here at Elon. I'd even say it was magical :) PLUS I got to go home to Duluth and see my mom and friends, which made it even more amazing!
Speaking of Twisted Measure...I just finished arranging a piece for us! It's "Hate on Me" (popularized by Glee) and it's a lot of fun! We just learned it last week, so I'm hoping it ends up turning out okay. I'll let you guys know.
Oh oh! How could I forget? Before Fall Break came Family Weekend, and my mom came to see me for a couple of days! This was nice for several reasons: She's wonderful; I got to sleep in a hotel bed and use a real shower; I didn't have to spend any money; I had time to remember why I love my mom and why I miss home every once in a while. Awwwwww...
Also in October was Halloween! I went as a unicorn (I know, be jealous) and basically got to wear white tights (which ended up running, how sad!) and spike my hair all crazy and make a horn out of shiny paper...it was ridiculous but so much fun!
So, as November is starting (it feels so strange saying that! It's been over two months here!) I'm beginning to plan for new classes! Elon does this thing called Winter Term where basically, for the month of January, I have one class for three hours each day (I believe UGA does a similar thing in May?). This is great because I can basically chill for a month but still get some credit. I'm going to be taking Animal Sociology, which should be..interesting, hopefully. Then, next semester, I'm taking: British Lit I, Education Psych, Intellectual History, Contemporary Wellness Issues (oh the euphemisms we come up with for Health class), Voice Class I, and Piano Class I! I'm really excited about piano--I've always wanted to learn. Hopefully I'll pick it up...we'll see!
Alright, well I'll stop boring you with my life now :) I'll end with, instead of just lyrics, lyrics to a song I've grown to love and link to the video of it!
"Home" by Scott Alan (performed by Shoshana Bean):
"Look at what I'm given,
This beautiful creation,
This sweet intoxication
Something pure in my life
Look at all these changes
Your the light that shines within me
And you'll be mine completely
There'll be no darkness left to view
I never knew this form of love existed, no
Deep inside of me is where it all begins
So hold me in your heart
Cause you'll have mine forever
Wait and lay inside my arms, I'll protect you for always
Never feel alone, for I'll always be with you
A home is where the heart is meant to be, mmm
You always have a home inside of me
And we will walk this road together
I'll shelter you from burdens
Just lean your weight on me
And stops me bridge the distance
You will always have a home here
Right here inside my arms
There is a love waiting just for you
I never knew this love form of love existed, oh no
A world away from love that I've ever known
So hold me in your heart
Cause you'll have mine forever
Wait and lay inside my arms, I'll protect you for always
Never feel alone, for I'll always be with you
A home is where the heart is meant to be, mmm
You'll always have a home inside of me
No matter where the journey leads you
If your path leads to some place new
You'll always have a home in this heart of mine, ohhh, mine
So hold me in your heart
Cause you'll have mine forever
Wait and lay inside my arms, I'll protect you for always
Never feel alone, for I'll always be with you
A home is where the heart is meant to be
And you'll always have a home inside of me"
