Year two beginnings

so, it is the beginning of a new year here at harding university. and these first two weeks have been great!! my roommate (leah) and i finally have our room set up and mostly decorated! so that is good news! a group of our friends have a suite together down our hall, so thats even better news! and just seeing friends again and hanging out again has been great.
i have to admit, my class schedule kinda stinks alot this semester, but sometimes you just cant help it. so far all my classes are going very well. we havent had many grades (if any) yet, so im not sure how hard the course work is going to be (tests, etc). i should be ok. just in case any one wanted to know, the classes i am taking this semester are the following:

prevention and treatment of injuries
acting one
life of christ
theater production (tech class, we just work on the big shows going on...this semester that would be the musical)
anatomy and physiology
trigonometry
theater movement

so there you have it. and if 17 hours wasnt enough to keep me busy this semester i am also the historian for our theater club (campus players/APO), and involved in the musical. we are doing "the wizard of oz" for homecoming and i am one of the dog handlers. so far i am only going to rehearsal on sundays because we have i think 5 dog handlers. but depending on how well the dog responds to me and others they might low that number closer to show time or for the show...we arent really sure how they are going to do that yet. so i have that, and then i am also the props master for a play called "three viewings" which is a student directed play going up in october. im excited for when full cast and crew rehearsals start for that because i am really looking forward to working with the director, this girl is amazing. she studied for a year at NYU in their theater department and then left to come to harding, and she is quite talented (and very humble about herself). and the thing that i am most excited about being a part of starting this year is a group called Pied Pipers!!!
the pipers are a childrens theater troupe that performs for preschool-6th grade mostly (they have done older age group shows as well), and they also perform at church stuff and at VBS and some things like that. i tried out for this group last year and made call-backs but didnt make it in, and so i tried out again this year and got called back again! and this year i made it with my best friend amber (who i became bf's with last year at piper tryouts)!!!! and we are both way too excited!!! i was so happy when i found out, it is going be an amazing experience i can not wait to start!! the other two people that made the new pipers with us i really like and if i could have picked the list i would have picked them too, so all is well with that and we are going to have an awesome group! we start rehearsals tuesday (every tuesday and thursday from 6:30-8:30) so we are getting straight down to it, and i couldnt be happier!
other good news (kinda) is that i found an on campus job friday. i am now working in the nursing office on monday, wednesday, and friday from 11 am - 1 pm. so its only 6 hours a week, but that is better than nothing, so im fine with that. the only down fall to this is that 11-1 was my break on m, w, f so now i am in class/work from 9am-6:30 straight! on fridays just 9-4 pm straight. and i mean, straight! after 9:00 chapel i have about 25-30 mins to get something to eat and then i am on the go from there. so im not thrilled about that, but hey, have to earn money.

well, i think that is pretty much all that has happened and all there is to know about the first two weeks of school. that was a pretty long post...most wont be that long, but alot has happened in the first two weeks, and that just kinda catches everyone up on life so far :-)
