College For All...

So it's been busy around here lately. Hannah threw her first party, in honor of High School Musical 2. Only 1 friend could actually make it, but it was fun... or so I hear. Incomplete (the band I drum for) was in La Grande at the Son Light Festival. I drove back Saturday for my buddy Micah's wedding, to his old girlfriend, and the mother of his daughter (Aliyah), Cat. It was great to see them get back together after so many years, and was definitely worth the 5am wakeup call and drive back.

We took Michaela up to Seattle with a trailer of her stuff on the 25th so that she could be all settled in when classes start at Cornish College Of The Arts on the 4th. She's working on her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance, along with her roommates. Cecelia, one of the aforementioned roommates, was already there, and we (including Sami, the dog) got all of Michaela's stuff up the stairs, if not unpacked. Well, all, that is, except for the stuff that she forgot, like extension cords (there's only 1 outlet per room besides the kitchen), printer, and stuff like that. We did buy the girls a tv cart, a kitchen shelf, and a table & chairs... and got all that plus Diane, Hannah, Michaela, Cecelia, and myself in the Montero. So after introducing Cecelia to sushi, we dropped them off and headed home.

On monday I started classes! I'm a Sophomore transfer at Warner Pacific College, and I also work for their Adult Degree Program as the bookroom guy (fancy title, eh?). I'm majoring in Religion & Christian Ministry, and had to buy about 13 books just for the Fall semester. Maybe Michaela has it lucky with no books, but every class is a workout... maybe. Between school, work, the band, my ministry with the youth (which i get credit for at school), and sleep, I'm barely able to see Diane & Hannah. But it's only for 3 years, right?
