Ahhhhh February
Such a bittersweet month. There's certainly still a lot going on. On the one hand, we're certainly far enough in to our semester that we everyone has regained the stresses of studying. Tests are ensuing and projects are in full swing. And boy is the weather as crazy as ever. For the past several days we've had thunderstorms and snow storms, and then warm weather that melts the half a foot of snow away again.

Yes February has its ugly points, but thank goodness for the wonderful things going on on campus to keep everyone energized. For instance, last weekend was kickoff for the spring semester. It was of a lot of talent and many people did some pretty fun events. See GC Journal's most recent episode for a performance by this semester's winners!

After kick off I collaborated with Campus Activities Council to host a dance in the dorms. I DJ'ed and left kick off early to clear out the coffee shop and put up lights for the night. It was a lot of fun, and seemed to be widely enjoyed.

Every weekend up until the amazing conclusion of the beloved month (spring break! (yes, it's in February)) is full of awesome activities.

This Friday night is an hour after by one of the music students on campus that promises to be an awesome evening of music. (Hour afters are similar to the idea of coffee houses.) Before the hour after on Friday is another concert in the performing art series which also promises to be a lot of fun.

Saturday night a bunch of my friends and I are heading to a local town to see one of our favorite bands in concert. (Family force five) They put on a great show and we're incredibly excited to go.

Sunday I have a recording session for an audio production class that I'm taking. It will be fun to work with some artists on their abilities and have a finished product to present to a client.

The following weekend is valentine's weekend and while I don't especially like the holiday, there are several fun activities planned for everyone on campus then too.

A lot of the college turns to Florida for some relief from the gray skies of Goshen during their spring break. I too am giving into this phenomenon and heading down south with some friends for break. It will be nice to dawn some of my shorts and take to the beach in some sunshine for a change.

But, I've got a couple weeks of studies and activities to get through first. Fortunately for me, so does the rest of the campus, so we're all plugging away at the month, one day at a time, making it the best experience possible.
