Alright

Alright is pretty much how I'm feeling right about now... I'm in the process of getting over a cold which had been coming for days, and finally hit hard Sunday morning, probably because I had too much fun the night before at Peter and Emily's wedding. I have begun to realize just how short and uninformative my posts are, so I'll try to make this one a little bit better.

So what have I really been up to since I came to Concordia? As I try to answer that question, really not much, but too much at the same time. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I go through a pretty packed day from 8-6 (including my lunch, organ and flute practice, and chapel). On Tuesdays and Thursdays I try to get up and work out by 8:30 but that hasn't been happening as much lately as I'd like it too. After my shower, I practice flute (or have my lesson) some point in the day, practice organ, go to Chapel Ringers, and Band, and have pretty much the rest of the day off. This schedule has really worked out well for me because I have time to get all my work for MWF done, and not really have to do much after classes on MWF (when my brain is pretty much fried) Aside from my daily schedule, I don't really do much else. I still have my favorite shows to watch on Wednesday (Glee) and Thursday (Bones and The Office) nights. Recently I have become involved in two Bible study groups which I really enjoy, one on Monday night and the other on Tuesday.
I have never had a bland weekend. I have always had something going on or somewhere else to be (with many thanks to Grandma for her trips out to get me!) Most recently, two weekends ago, was fall break, and boy, was it good to be home, sleep in my queen-size bed, and just sit at my own dinner table again. This past weekend, as I mentioned before was my cousin, Peter and wife-Emily's wedding. It was a lovely ceremony and reception, and it was wonderful to see Jon and Dad (again, I had just seen them the week before) and especially, Sandi, who I haven't seen since mid-August, and will get to see again at the end of the month! This up-coming weekend, Kammerchor is going to be singing at a church in Shawano (Saturday night) and Green Bay (Sunday morning), and I may be having a prospective student from Zanny's church stay with me Friday night, so this weekend should be enjoyable as well.

Well, I hope I've covered pretty much everything for now, and I KNOW I say this EVERYTIME, but I'm going to try to be more faithful about my posting. (speaking of which, where have all of you been? I love to see what's going on in your lives too!)

I'll leave you with a few lyrics from Darius Rucker's "Alright" (where I got the title of today's post) "It may be a simple life, but that's ok. Cause if you ask me baby, I think I've got it made" "And I've got all I need, and It's alright by me"

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND WEEKEND. GOD'S BLESSINGS

Love, C
