so i’m back at school… and i like it.
just walkin in my dorm building and having people recognize me and exchange greetings is good enough to make me feel like i belong here. maybe it was the exhilaration from carrying my 75+ lbs. of clothes and guitars and books and computers across campus and up 2 flights of stairs that was making my head woozy, but when i opened my door, i believe i detected more than a hint of excitement that had built up inside of me.
I think after living in this space for the past 5 months, my brain has partially associated “home” with its particular sensory stimuli. coming back to it has confirmed this pleasant transformation.
don’t get me wrong, Lafayette is where my family is, and don’t comment how i can be so traitorous to the revered family life. i just like being over here. sometimes more than home. so what.
this semester has so much possibility, because i get to start over again! and the hope of spring is exciting.
i bought my books this evening. ever notice how the classes you really don’t want to take have the most books that you are required to purchase? well ok maybe that dosen’t happen to everyone. but i think it’s ridiculous. Music Technology, a class that i would actually LOVE to purchase a textbook on, has none, and Professional Practices, the stupid english-class-wanna-be, what-does-an-engineer-do course has 3 or 4 required books. ok yes, maybe i am in an engineering curriculum and not a music major, but let me play the victim on this one.
my tastebuds are adjusting to the non-cajun cuisine. luckily, the cafeteria is still up to par on quality.
the first night is always the best. let’s see how college part 2 plays out.
p.s. i really missed the sweet sounds of my marshall amplifier. still rockin. and my wah pedal is FUN. and my mixer is coming in the mail!
p.p.s. communications and updates may be sparse for a couple days, i will be busy running university errands.
So, what do you think about Garage Band.?
