Update on Life

I have adjusted to life here. Things are now normal. I joined the cheer squad. I watched them and thought to myself I could do that. Now with that thought, I had no intentions of joining. I talked to one of my roommates though and decided to email the coach. I seriously didn't think anything was going to come of it. Maybe next semester or next fall, or nothing at all since I have no experience. But guess who is on a cheer squad now?!? :) So I am excited. She wants me to be a flyer. That was like the one thing I swore I was never ever going to do... fly. But I am excited I also swore I was never going to go to a church affiliated school or play violin. Well look where I am at now, lol.

This is our uniform

We get sleeves for when it is cold

Matching socks

And don't forget the shoes.... ;)

We also get matching nail polish,bag,warm up jacket and pants, and a cheer shirt-I will get those eventually! So excited!

I was able to register for classes. The way things are looking I can graduate in three semesters. That makes me so excited you have no idea. I want to be a nurse right now and since my school doesn't offer that and I am almost done with my degree I am just going to finish it. There is something called an accelerated BSN which takes about a year to complete. Then you actually have two degrees so I am wanting to do that.

So next semester I am taking a lot of generals. I transferred with almost my entire major done, I just have a ton of generals, welcome to a liberal arts school... oh well.

Spanish 2
Art History
Reason and Self (Philosophy)
Conducting
History of Opera
Ballet
Violin
and Cheer Conditioning

It will be nice to be close to done though. I am a junior come Christmas and if I take summer school like normal I will be a Senior in the fall! :)

I am able to take violin next semester. I am trying to get back to playing but don't want to kill my neck. So we are starting with the smaller of the two instruments. One nice thing here is you just have to have four lessons they don't care which instrument. So I am taking violin for the semester. I am excited. I have never had lessons on violin just viola. Hoping my neck will hold up. It seems to be doing alright though. It has only bothered me once this past week and that was during cheer and we were doing a pretty intense workout. The pain was manageable and was mainly in my lower cervical spine/shoulder. I still have limited movement and it is a lot tighter but less pain will make me happy any day!

Still loving my roommates. They are awesome. We are all collectively insane and it is ok.

It is becoming fall. Fall might be like my favorite season! It became October and then all of the sudden the leaves started changing colors and falling. Like literally no leaves on the ground to a ton of leaves on the ground. Craziness! Today the temperature cooled off too! It was so nice I love the way cold air smells, yes it smells different. Now all I have to do is find a hiking buddy. I live less than 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway- I need to explore this!

Over all- all good things!
