Ordinary Miracle

Hey Everyone,


Well, I'm back at it again. Second semester officially started Thursday, so I've now been to all my classes at least once. I figured I was going to be super bummed when I had to start back up, but I was actually pretty excited to get back in the swing of things.

I have basically all the same kinds of classes, mainly music, but I did start Spanish 101 on Friday. The teacher just walked in speaking rapid-fire Spanish and pretending we would know what she meant. After a minute or two she laughed and then introduced herself in English, and the class was actually really enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to learning another language, and another culture. My teacher is actually from Argentina, so I thought that was pretty awesome.

Other than that, ICCA, the acapella contest Undeclared is hosting is coming up incredibly soon. The 16th of February about 7 groups from the midwest will be here to compete, so if you'll be around Decorah that night, stop in for sure. There's a lot of behind the scenes work we still have to accomplish, but I think we can pull it together. And the week after, we're making the long drive to St. Louis to compete ourselves, and then the Ben Folds concert we're opening for is the week after that. It's going to be a crazy few weeks.

I'm excited to get going, and hopefully I'll keep you up to date on how the new semester is coming along.
