Howdy Y'all! Here I am in Levelland again. I've been here a little over a week, and a routine is starting to emerge out of the chaos. After a very LLLOOONNNGGG but thankfully uneventful drive, I arrived at the house on Cherry Street where I am living this year. It's a cute little place, white with yellow trim and a very nice yard. Nice big rooms and very airy on the inside. Howdy is settling in and starting to eat regularly again; she had me worried there for a few days, but I guess she had some adjusting to do.
So - school is wonderful! I am just continually amazed at how much fun it is. I LOVE learning stuff! My classes are so interesting: I have a songwriting class, which is fairly self-explanatory. I have a class called modern performance techniques, which teaches about stagecraft: how to act and what to wear on stage. It also teaches about how to maintain a healthy lifestyle so you can be the best musician/artist you can be. I have a music theory class, which sounds like a dry subject, but in only 2 classes so far, I have already had several 'aha!' moments. And I have a class that teaches about the roots of Bluegrass. We watched a documentary on Bill Monroe which was fairly interesting.
Oh, and guess what! I can hardly stand it, I am so excited! I have the opportunity to learn electric bass! Yes, I am going to play electric bass for a country ensemble! haHA! I am also in a jazz ensemble and two bluegrass ensembles. I am busier than a one-armed paper-hanging banjo player (har). But I figure that's what I'm here for, and can you imagine how much I'm going to learn and improve? I am thankful for every bit of it.
That's it for now.
Till next time,
The Sparrow

Too busy to call your spawn, you are. *sniff*
Naw, I'm glad you're keeping busy. Sounds like you're having a good, educational, experience-building time.
Wish my life was that eventful. :-p
Miss you. Love you.
