I'll start this post off by saying that this is going to be my final blog post of all time. Yep, you heard it hear first, I'm retiring. At least for now. Its been a lot of fun over the last two years but since I'm transferring schools next semester, it just feels right to end it. Just like the title of this post, I'm starting a new chapter in my life.
In case you haven't heard, I'm starting at Georgia State next semester. I'm really excited to do something different. Not that I didn't love MTSU. Quite the opposite, actually. Well, I can't really say I liked MTSU as a school, but I'll never forget all the amazing people I've met up here. You guys know who you are. I can only hope that Atlanta has as many cool people. I'm pumped to find out.
It's been an interesting year to say the least. Lots of ups and a few downs. I'll spare you guys the details (they're not all that interesting, I promise). I loved living in an apartment with some of my best friends. It was an unbelievable experience.
I'll end on the same thing I always do. Don't worry, I won't give you guys a bunch of useless information about some bands. I'll just let you enjoy some good music.
Well, that's it, guys. Its been a fun ride. Who knows, maybe I'll start this up again. But I seriously doubt it.
Man, I just realized how long its been since I've done a post. I guess I just haven't really thought about it. Sorry about that (I'm just pretending like you guys actually care about reading these). Anyways, its good to be back up in Murfreesboro with all my friends and believe it or not, my classes really aren't all that bad so far. Actually, they've been pretty interesting.
If you've known me for a while, then you know that I took French in high school. FIVE years. Yeah, I know you're probably wondering why in the world anyone would want to A) take French at all B) take it for five whole years. I don't exactly have an answer for that. I just liked it for some reason and my teachers were awesome. Fast forward to the end of the last semester, I decided I'd try to get back into it after a couple years, so I signed up for beginner's French just so I could have an easy class and get an easy A. The first day of class rolls around and the teacher asks if anyone here had ever taken French before. Without really thinking, I raised my hand. I was the only one with my hand up. The teacher says, "Follow me". I'm kind of confused at this point, but I follow her anyways. She then made me go take the placement test for French. Now I'm just thinking to myself that I don't really remember anything and I'll probably wind up doing really bad on it. So I finish up and the teacher comes over and checks my score and gets this look of incredible surprise on her face. She then informs me that I nearly got a perfect score and had just tested out of three classes and into the highest possible class. Apparently, I wasn't as rusty as I thought. Honestly, it was a little bittersweet for me. There went my easy A, and here comes a really hard class. On the bright side, if I do well, I automatically get 9 extra credit hours, so I guess that makes it ok. So far, its actually a pretty enjoyable class and surprisingly not too hard.'
The other interesting class that I'm in is a literature class based around serial killers in American fiction. Yeah, that about sums it up. So far, we've read Psycho (yep, the movie one) and The Killer Inside Me, and both were pretty awesome. I just love the fact that I'm reading books for school and they're actually really interesting to me. I'm about to start Silence of the Lambs so needless to say, I'm pretty excited about this class.
Unfortunately, this will be my final semester at MTSU. Yep, I'm transferring back to good ol' Georgia. At this point, I'm pretty set on Georgia State. I really want to study film there so with any luck, I can finally put my fairly extensive movie trivia knowledge to work. I'm pretty excited to be there, but its definitely going to be tough leaving everyone up here. I guess I've just gotta make the most of my here.
I'm really excited to talk about a few bands that I've gotten into within the last month or so. I've recently really gotten into the Seattle music scene. I don't exactly know what it is about Seattle, but they've got SO many talented bands and singers. I'm kind of sad that its taken me this long to get into their music, but I'm so glad that I have. Campfire OK and Pickwick are two bands that I literally have not been able to stop listening to in the last few weeks. Campfire OK has kind of an indie-pop sound with some awesome folk influences. Pickwick has almost a throwback sound to their music. They've definitely got some groove and some bluesy aspects to their music. I especially love the guys voice. He's got some serious pipes. I seriously hope you guys like them as much as I do, because they absolutely deserve it. ENJOY.
