Life is a roller coaster



So here is the latest news on the block.

I didn't make flute choir, but I was able to join Pep Band and Concert Band. Professor Del Vecchio is a funny, kind man from New Jersey, and isn't a member of the church. Dr. Taylor is also kind and fatherly, but I had a hard time in orchestra getting use to the sound of string instruments and playing with sharps instead of flats. And a broken flute. A couple of the keys don't work but I will be trying to get it fixed. For now, I will use my mom's flute which was shipped to me in 2 days!! I'm not use to that kind of response in mail!!

English is a different story. I like Dr. Cluff as well, but I have a presentation due next Wednesday on Greek Music. I fear that I don't have enough time to prepare everything. He is willing to help as much as he can to help me succed.

Acting is fun and easy at this point. College Composition is full of persuation essays, arguments, and debates. Biology is also easy, but sometimes is hard to understand the professor with her heavy Indian accent. And those are the classes.

I have attended two sporting events since arriving here, football and soccer. I believe our team has great talent but since it was the first game, they had the jitters and lost. The soccer team is now 1- 1 in their season. They won their first match away against a Division 3 school of which I don't have a name. The second game was at home on the new field. I actually know a couple of the guys on the team so I came to encourage them to play their best. I found out that a councelor of the bishopric of my new ward is on the team!! I think he is the oldest on the team too. But he performed as well as the other players. The match was against Bridgewater College, and lost. President Rodney K. Smith came to the game as well. He was wearing green low top Chuck Taylor's!!!!!!!! It was so cool to the president of the university wear chucks I thought I was going to scream, but I took a picture instead.

That is what's new at SVU. I love you all and can't wait to hear or see you soon!!
