WHOO, COLLEGE. (Pt. 2)

I can't even say how excited I am to be here! There are so many opportunities to meet people- my dorm is the biggest (10 floors) and everywhere you go there are new faces.

It's nice to mix old friends and new friends. I'll see people from school (or in Amy's case, choir) and we'll sit down with a few people and just talk. Today Kaley and I met our male twins. For Kaley, a movie loving music ed major from a lower campus dorm, and as for myself, a Stephen King reading music performance baritone from the all boy's dorm. We discovered that we were all in vocal jazz, all sang different voice parts and laughed as we sang Frim Fram Sauce & I'll Be Seeing You.

I find that i can't stay away from music oriented people. It's just in me, to connect to people who share the same love of music I have. It is such a big part of my life, and although this is a time for change, I don't think I will find my love of it changing.

It's also fun to talk about people I know from my hometown (in a kind of homesick, nostalgic way) and have people say, "oh, that sounds like my friend _____!" We're all in the same boat.

I don't know if any of you, invisible readers, have seen the old tv show Fat Albert, but I'll describe something: Fat Albert & his friends play a game against the neighborhood bullies called Buck Buck. It's a game Bill Cosby created, where one team all lines up, grabs each other around hte waist and bends so their back make a long runway of sorts. Then the other team take a running jump on their backs, one by one, piling up. The goal of the first team is to knock a player off their backs, and the goal of the second team is to get the first team to fall over. I watched the RA's teach some of the new freshman how to play for at least half an hour and it was hilarious. Prepare for pictures.

More stories soon :)

Lola,
Did you start your job today? (Wed.)? How did it go? When you get your package, the cookies are for you AND KRISTY. (Is that how she spells her name?)
