Coffee Shop

So - I think have become addicted to the Broad River Coffee Shop here in Boiling Springs. I have gone there every single day of this week! I study there, I go there to meet up with friends, and sometimes I stop in to get some caffeine before class. It has become an addiction!! It is a great hang out place too. Open Mic Night is always a high point in the week for a lot of us too. It's always a good time to get away from the books and just enjoy some time away from studying. Gotta love the college life.

Rain Rain, Go Away!

So, it's raining. . . . and this weekend is Homecoming!! How depressing! The Homecoming Parade has been canceled, and so has the Powder Puff Game. We typically toilet paper the entire campus on the night before the Homecoming Game, but looks like that won't be happening either. :-/ Guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Downhill from here

Well, Fall Break has come and gone! Mid-terms are over and the rest of the semester is pretty much downhill! Less than two months left til final exams! Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner, which means there are more breaks in sight. I'm really looking forward to the holidays. I'm pretty excited about spending time with my family during the time away from school, since I've only been home one time this semester. I just wish those breaks were sooner! :-)

October Plans

The month of October is going to be so busy! Fall Break is this coming weekend, and I am so looking forward to it! I hope to catch up with some friends and relax! I am playing for a revival next Monday and Tuesday evening, so that should be interesting. The last week of October, my church is having a revival too, so I will be playing for it as well! On Halloween I am having a bunch of friends over to my house for a cookout and bonfire. In all honesty, I think Autumn is my favorite season. The weather is cooler, the leaves are changing colors, and the atmosphere is just great! Gotta love it!

I Need a Break!

This past week was insane!! I had five tests in one week: Social Psychology, Religion and Culture, World Lit, Business Comm, and Statistics. Besides all of the studying I had to do, I played for a funeral, worked ten hours, and went to church to play for choir rehearsal. What a week!! I love to stay busy, but I am so glad Fall Break is just around the corner. This coming weekend will be the first time I have spent the night in my own bed since I moved back to GWU in August - Can't wait!!

Where's the piano?

This week one of my very close friends grandfathers passed away, and I was asked to play for the funeral. I got to the funeral home, where the funeral was to take place, only to find that there was no piano - only an old Hammond Drawbar Organ. This little organ looked like it came right out of the 70's (which was probably true). Let's just say it was quite the experience. I played a prelude, two songs in the service (Amazing Grace, and the Old Rugged Cross), and the postlude. It was an interesting experience to say the very least. Live and learn. . . and always be prepared for the unexpected!!
