Last Trip...

 So we've arrived and have settled in to the hotel on our last choir trip of the semester... mine for good. got assigned a room with 3 completely different guys than i usually do, they ended up being all bass though. so we're in our room now listening to the group "valor" who has an inSANE bass voice that puts us 2nd basses to shame... so i'm kinda glad for these roomates. anyway, this trip has been a little rough for all of us. alot of the choir is tired, the semester is coming to an end, which means big projects and papers... we left thursday at midnight, and won't be getting back till sunday around 8pm or so... basically cuts out our whole study day... i actually planned a meeting for 7:30 BEFORE i heard of our return arrival to campus... so i'll be attempting to do a good bit of work on this trip... on the way up here, got to listen to some more of pandora with Jas, and we put on David Phelps as the firs playlist. one of the artists that later came on was Casting Crowns... a group my cousin Jesika actually went to hear in concert the night before! ... great CCM music that i've not been into for a while, but have recently been getting great reviews about.
earlier on around 1:30 or i was texting a few of my friends, one of them being my "sister" from back home in atl that i hadn't talked to in forever, but can always talk forever to, lol. she called me and we talked for a good bit, catching up about life and such... always good to hear a voice from your past... anywho. i'm about to get in the bed.... early, its just like 10:30 here, and i've showered, and am laid out on the bed, preparing for sleep... because we didn't do a concert at the church this evening, we've had most of it to just chill in the hotel. a few of us went down to the jacuzzi for a while, but the evening has been great not being busy traveling and singing... so now i'll be heading off to bed, with high hopes of a high day in God 2morrow...
oh.. i cannot leave with out leaving some mention of the oakwoodite, and brother of our aeolian sister, nichelle anderson, Nathan anderson was killed today as he was riding his motorcycle... hit us all hard, because a number of us knew him well... he was around 26 years old, and deeply involved in the music arena at oakwood, then back in his hometown of maryland... it was really shaking to me because i literally just saw a post that put on twitter earlier that morning. i didn't know him personally at all, but with that little bit of indirect interaction, then hearing of his sudden death was hard to take. My prayers are with the family as they morn his death, and look forward to seeing him in the Second Coming...

Good Nite blogger land... hope to see you again soon!
