Lang Woes

I was gone from school on Thursday and Friday. I missed tons of work. Niemi was freaking out about absenses. She won't let us ask her what we missed. All of it is due tomorrow. I hate lang.

Shock

Last night Erik and I went to Applebee's for dinner. As we walked in there was a couple sitting at the bar making out hard core. When they finally parted, who was it but Nichole Moore. She came over and gave me a hug then told me she had dropped out of school after three weeks, she dated Jake for about a month, and was in a car accident after the 4th of July.

Where to go?

This weekend I visited Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. The campus was beautiful. Lots of pretty, old brick buildings. The dorms are the best I've ever seen. Each room is carpeted and has personal air control. I sat in on a few classes (the theory was a joke) and after they had a faculty/student concert. I was not impressed with the two faculty sopranos. Too much sliding for my taste. All in all, Simpson is 3rd on my list of schools, behind Cincinnati and Luther.

I received my music scholarship from Luther on Wednesday. I was a little disappointed. I had been getting calls from many of the faculty there saying I would be receiving a substancial scholarship. The $3,250 and $450 for lessons seemed less than substancial. It was the highest music scholarship available. I was imagining more like $10,000, since Weston Noble told me he designates as much money as he wants. There's still hope left though. My financial package may be more promising.

Still no word from Cincinnati yet. Hopefuly soon.
