It has been another busy yet super exciting week at Elmira College! Halloween took over Elmira College, and needless to say, I saw a lovely assortment of "costumes" strolling around campus. Columbia, the freshmen girls dorm, put on their annual haunted house and trick or treating event and like last year when I lived there, they saw hundreds of children come through! After Halloween, all of campus had their focus shifted to the upcoming big event...
OAR!
After much anticipation by all of the student body, the big event for fall finally took place...
the OAR concert! It was awesome, and they played not only their new music but also a variety of their older songs as well! Plug in Stereo opened for OAR, and I personally liked them as well. All in all, the set up, the bands, and most importantly the music was awesome! I think I can speak for the majority of the students that attended that this was definitely one of the best big events here at EC in a while.
My friends and me at the OAR concert!
Unfortunately, now that the concert is over it is back to reality. This week Orchesis auditions took place for the fall dance/Encore performance. I tried out an advanced tap duet with one of my good friends, and to my surprise it made it into the show! I will be in a total of three dances in the upcoming Encore as well as the finale where I will do a short Michael Jackson excerpt with the rest of the 2014's! I love dance, so I am really pleased that I will be dancing a lot in the next week with tech week and practice every day and night! It should be busy, but I know the show will be great so I am really looking forward to it!
On top of dance, dance and more dance, I have some big tests coming up in Nursing, Anatomy & Physiology, and Stats...ahhhh, so much to study. But I am starting to study now that way I am super prepared for all the exams. It is going to be a busy two weeks before break but I am sure I will pull through and then enjoy some well deserved rest and relaxation at home. This week I also ordered my stethoscope, required for all nursing majors. I am excited because I am pretty sure I am the only person who ordered an orange one...I figured I'd never lose in when at clinical! Also, it has finally come the time to start registering for Term II classes. For nursing majors like myself, the schedule is essentially already set in stone. Next week, all of the students will head to the registrars office to register because after Thanksgiving break, there is only a short time left before the end of Term I, and it is packed with events, activities, studying, and of course finals. Oh, well. It is better to take the stress of college day by day. In the meantime, I am off to dance and to study! But maybe if I get enough done and need a little break, I can check out the Man Auction (Yes, this is real!) in MacKenzie's at the Campus Center to support Model UN.
