So I visited Kent again on Tuesday night to get more info about the classes I have to take to fulfill my major and minor. I was very confused about what I exactly wanted to do with the rest of my life. I knew that I wanted to pursue something in Journalism but I wasn’t sure what. I have declared Broadcast Journalism as my major but after last night I have decided that I am going to double major in Broadcast Journalsim and Photojournalism and minor in Electronic media production(all the behind the scenes stuff).  Now too fulfill this in 4 years it will require me to take tons of summer classes at LCCC. These classes will mostly consist of all my basic freshman classes, such as math, english, science, and history. These would all be my 101 classes that would be super easy and not require too much work so I would still be able to hold down a summer job as well. I am very much looking forward to this summer before college.

Spring?

So spring is supposedly here but I don’t see it anywhere. With living in Northeast Ohio all of my life you would think that I would be use to this weather all ready. The constant change in weather and the uncertainty of what the weather is going to be like is really getting old. One day it is 45 and rainy and the next it is 70 and sunny. By what the calendar says spring is already here but the weather seems to disagree. With school ending so soon and spring break right around the corner everyone has spring fever. Spring break is very late this year, the last week in April, and as we come back to school there are only 4 short weeks left. But for the senior participating in senior project there is only 1 week. If you are taking any AP tests the time before school ends is even shorter. I myself have 2 full days of school when I come back and 1 finalizing day. This means as of today I have 6 days left. Even though everyone says to finish your senior year strong it is so hard. There is so little time left that you just want it all to be over and you want to move on to the next stage of your life. But all we have to do now is enjoy our time off and enjoy our time here while it lasts.

College?

Yes college is almost here. It is hard to believe isn't it? It seems like just yesterday we walked in the doors freshman year, and in a few short weeks we will be walking out.... This is definitely a bitter sweet time for most, we are leaving our comfort zone. We will be taking off the training wheels(our parents) and taking off on our own. For some of us this is it, we are going hours away or out of state. For others we are staying a little closer to home but yet we are going to be out on our own. This is sooooooo exciting! As the end of senior year approaches we are getting ready to move on to the next stage of our lives. There will be new classes and new people, new experiences and new challenges, and for some people new them. College is a time to venture out and try things that you have never done before, take those chances that you never dared too. There is sooooooo much to do on a college campus that you will never be bored, with all the classes, clubs, and organizations you can find someone who you have something in common with. Maybe you weren’t the most outgoing person in high school, this is your time to shine, take a chance and put yourself out there. Chances are if you embarrass yourself you will never see those people again :P But the number one thing to remember is too have fun and experience all you can! College is a great time of our lives so lets enjoy it while we are there! 

Chorale trip to disney!

For the chorale trip this year we were invited to participate in the Disney Honors Program. This was a 3 day program that consisted of singing for a panal of judges, undergoing a choral clinic, and attending a gala at the end of it all. Although we did participate in this program we also had a lot of free time to hang out around Disney. This allowed us to spend 5 days wandering around the different Disney parks. We traveled by plane in order to avoid a 24 hour bus ride. We left Thursday morning and arrived around 10:45 Thursday morning. Right from the airport we went to downtown Disney and did some shopping and had lunch. Then that evening we went to the Animal Kingdom to attend a Disney Honors Party with the other choirs and bands participating in the festival. Friday we went to the Magic Kingdom. Friday was also the day that we performed for the panel of judges and went through a choral clinic. We got to work with the choral director for Auburn University. He was very helpful and his observations helped us improve greatly.  On Saturday we visited EPCOT. This was the longest day of the entire trip. We spent the entire day at EPCOT, from open to close. It was a great day to spend in the park, it was 85 and sunny the whole day and because there is so much to do at EPCOT no one was bored. On Sunday we went to Hollywood Studios, formally MGM. We spent most of the day here but boarded our buses and went back to the hotel at 4 to get all dressed up for the Disney Honors Gala. This event was to celebrate all the choirs and bands accomplishments. All the participants received a Disney Honors trophy. There was a delicious dinner and after was the best cheesecake I have ever had. By the time Monday came everyone was super tired and to make everything even better it was thunder storming allllllll day. We were at the animal kingdom and there is not much cover there except for all the shows they offer. It was a great way to end our trip in Florida. With it raining all day it made it a little easier to say goodbye. When we stepped off the plane in cleveland it was definitely a wake up call. It was no longer 85 and sunny. This is a trip I will never forget. :)
