The last couple of weeks have been absolutely insane. I've had compositions due, essays due, projects and homework and tests and pretty much everything else that plagues college students. It's been a constant battle of time management, but so far I've managed to get everything done and enjoy the life I lead while doing it. I've strengthened a few key bonds and gotten to spend time with people I love...
Watching the Olympics: our little brigade of friends has been awfully sleep-deprived lately, as the good parts of the Olympics are on either late at night or early in the morning. (Just to clarify, we've been staying up late, not getting up early. We're college kids.) It may not be the ultimate group bonding experience, but hey, cheering on Team USA (and the Jamaican bobsled team, since we watched Cool Runnings last weekend) is just one of those fun things we don't get to do very often. (Read: once every two years. This won't happen again until we're juniors!)
Going to movies: despite being crazy busy and having more responsibility than most college freshmen should have, we managed to get off campus last weekend and see a movie. (Since most of us don't leave campus unless it's absolutely necessary, that was a pretty big deal.) And since we were celebrating a friend's birthday, it was even more fun. :)
Making mash-ups of songs: I've got a few friends who are voice majors (and some that aren't but join in anyway, because why not?), and we've been mashing up songs for the last couple of weeks. It might sound like a big deal, but really it's just a matter of picking an order - I'll play piano and somehow we'll figure out when to modulate or change keys for different songs. It's insanely fun, and though the guys will roll their eyes and complain a little bit when we decide to make a medley of Taylor Swift songs, they're good sports about it.
Going to concerts: A couple of my friends and I got to go to the ASU trombone studio's concert on Valentine's Day (which was actually really fun for me, since my boyfriend was performing in it). The concert itself was fantastic, and I have a feeling we'll all be going to more concerts together in the future (even some of the non-music majors).
Movie marathons: In the last couple weeks, we've watched multiple Star Wars movies and have begun the High School Musical series (which is a pretty hilarious time). It's a great way to unwind after a long week and have some fun with the gang.
This all seems fairly mundane, but hey, that's life as we know it. There's always something new right around the corner, though!
Love you all,
Megan
