February Already?

Today I find myself asking "How did January 2015 fly by so fast?"  It seems like the 1st of the year, when I was just finished with having the mumps and still trying to kick my cold, was just yesterday.  It's been a wild month full of small adventures, and I can't wait to see what this month brings.

For those wondering what happened to me in January, here are some brief updates

  • NED: The Spring Division Meeting is all set to happen on 2/24 and as far as I know service projects are going extremely well.  Our project here at Cherry has been amazing so far, with a big pile in each of the teacher's rooms every time items have been collected.  Most classes will have points somewhere in the thousands by the time the next counting is done! It's amazing how many people in the school and community will rally behind your cause.
  • Announcing: Not much new to note here, except that after I forgot to hook up the microphone last week and consequently had to yell the starting line-ups, I was told I needed yelling lessons by our assistant coach, to which I responded with quite a bit of laughter.
  • Band: I played with the Cherry Pep Band two separate times over the past few weeks, subbing in for the regular drummer (who knows where he went?), and had a blast.  I have one more appearance on Monday, and then it's back to obscurity concerning drumming. 
  • College Search: Still haven't made an official decision, but a college called AMDA out in New York seems very interested in me judging by the numerous mail-outs they've sent me as well as e-mails in the past few weeks. 
I also met with someone about a very exciting business proposition over the weekend.  I can't give you all the details right now, but I promise you'll know more in the coming weeks if everything pans out OK. 

I hope to get back to blogging regularly again within the next few weeks, as this is my first post in almost a month after going so steady from August-December.  See you soon!

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
