Middle School Sweet hearts.

I can definately tell it's starting to turn to fall here in this lovely state of Michigan. I had to wear my little jacket all day long. I even had my space heater turned on last night. It's starting to get COLD. But at the same time, it's really starting to look beautiful with all the leaves turning colors. This is by far my favorite time of the year. I love fall, and I love Winter. I also love Christmas. Not because of the presents and Santa. Did you know my parents never even gave me the opportunity to think that Santa is real? It just wasn't celebrated in my upbringing. I mean sure, they're weren't against it, but it just wasn't a thing. It's cool though, I still believe there's Santa out there. I don't like this time because of the presents, like I said, I like it because it's the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Can someone give me a gold star? haha) But really, I love when the weather is all nasty and everything. Probably because I'm excited to use my 4x4. Also, I like right by a lake so it's really cool to see the lake all covered over. Anywho, I can tell my little Parrot professor is cold because she's all poofed up. I got into the office today right at 9am and started working on the StuCo epistle, it's an online newsletter, in email format. I normally do that on tuesday but the staff and I went down to AA yesterday to check out buildings for our new campus down there. That took the whole day but I really learned a lot about what we'll need. Even the stuff you'll never ever think you'll need.
After that I went over to the gibsons and taught them drums. They're doing really well, I'm excited from Ricky, he'll be playing in StuCo this week. They always feed me which is really really kind of them. Then after that I went to Jay's soccer game. Brad and I went, I should of gotten a picture. But the kid is awesome at soccer. He's plays guitar regularly and is one of our student worship leaders. He also sang the National Anthem at the game, and it was really impressed. I was impressed. He's gotten a lot better since coming to StuCo. The came was cool but I was shivering by the end of the night. All I wanted was a cup of hot chocolate, but I didn't have any cash. BOOOOO for no Cash! BOOOOOOOO!! Back to today, I got in at 9am and I worked on the epistle and make a slide for the new Disc Golf event we have every thursday. Actually, it's not new at all, but now it's promoted and advertised, here's a slide I made for it. It took about two hours! As I got more proficient with the program, It'll go a lot faster.
So after that on Sunday we're playing the song Gone by switchfoot. We're playing it a long to a video so it needs to have a click track. I sampled, programmed and arranged the song and put it a long to a click track with the drum loops to the band can play a long with the song and have the loops and effects playing as well. Wow, that gave me a headache just reading all that. Anywho. Dave took us out to lunch and we ate at the Chinese buffet in Howell, right by the offices. I don't really like that place but he paid for it, which was really nice. It was pretty good. If I had to pay I wouldn't have gone. It was nice to hang out with all of them. I did the Gone song until 4:30 when I gave the mix downs to Jeff, he'll put it along to the video which you'll see on Sunday. Listen for the loops, if Bob decides to turn them up. haha. I left at 4:30 to go to Brighton and teach Carter drums. He's a pretty solid drummer. Then here I am, with Tara. We're reading all the notes from when we started dating in 6th grade. She has them all the way to High School. It's hilarious. Let me get a picture of this book and of her . . . this book weights about 30 pounds. She's saved all of our hand written notes and emails, hahaha.



Okay, we're going to wash the dishes and make something to eat. Maybe watch a movie and just relax for the remainder of the evening, until next time! Yeah, I really need to take my contacts out.
