So, I am sure it would be a good idea to start out like any professional "journaler" and delve right into the topic discussed in the subject. Well, whoever said I was a professional? On February 15th I did in fact play "Song of Love" at West County Bible Church and it went fine. A little question that has arisen as I look back, however, is why do sore throats seem to hit at the most inopportune times? Oh well. Honey water seemed to fit the bill quite nicely. ('Twas also the reason I am sure my father was probably looking for his Starbucks mug for the next few days... Sorry 'bout forgetting it in my car dad!) I must admit that as of late the thing I am learning I enjoy so much more than sitting down with someone and playing guitar is sitting down and just talking. God has made community such an awesome thing, and I guess you could say that is what I am really excited about right now. The church I played at was pretty small (like maybe 100 people) but they had community. It was so cool. Now that I am out of ideas to keep stalling, onto the main topic of this post...

What is decided you might ask? Well, just about 10 minutes ago I submitted my housing forms and my deposit to none other than..... you guessed it... drum-roll... and another drum-roll for sheer annoyances sake... John Brown University! Here I come Arkansas! The plan is, at least as of now, to room with Andy Andrus in their hall known as Walker. From what I understand (that paired with the fact that I did visit), Walker houses 170 students and doubles as the student "center" if you will. Being a freshman, it could be hard to get in, but the fact that I am staying with Andy Andrus should make it an almost guaranteed thing to be there. So, I am very excited that this whole college thing is coming to a close. The decision, that is. Truman, while a great school, is a bit harder to switch between programs. Going into JBU the plan will be to major in digital media and hopefully get a minor in music and business. (Let's see if that holds true to my thinking in a year... Even 6 months). Also, I think the classes simply are better at JBU. I will miss certain aspects of outreach that take place in a secular environment, but it will be awesome to have Christian professors. So, after the obligatory spell check, I will leave you with a picture of Walker.
