Happy New Year

Hello and Happy 2009.

I am currently sitting at a Panera Bread in West Lafayette, In because they have free internet lol. I'm stuck at school only for 2 more days, then I get to return home once again, which will be nice. It's been a pretty good break, and I have no complaints really. I always enjoy the time I spend with my family.

Week 4!

Hello!

I am now in the fourth week of classes here at the West Lafayette Campus. We have had two football games: A victory over Northern Colorado and a defeat by the Oregon Ducks. Our first two halftime shows were incredible, and this weekend we will feature over 2000 high school students as part of band day. That's about all that is going on around here. For now anyways.

In the swing of things

Today marks the fourth day of classes here at Purdue. I have managed to purchase all my textbooks and most of my supplies. I think I am now completely settled into my room, and I love it. I am most excited about my Engineering Graphics and Geomatics (Surveying) courses. I know I will have the most trouble with Calculus II but I have a study group already formed for that course. The job is going fine, time goes by pretty quickly when I am having fun there. Our band is really taking shape, we now have the entire pregame show on the field and we are beginning to learn our first halftime show, a tribute to Bill Moffit, late director of the Purdue All American Marching band and world famous composer.
