I've finished my first college semester and I'm very pleased with my place. I absolutely LOVE my major, more than I thought I would, and now I've declared myself as a music minor! HOORAY! I'm terribly excited and could not be more thrilled for this next semester ^_^ I joined a co-ed a cappella group on campus we're on the road to ICCA!! (International Championship for Collegiate A-Cappella) We made the quarter finals! I'm now even arranging full pieces for the group, one of which we are performing at ICCA
Those who are close to me know I have had an extremely rough year. Although it was full of little blessings and wondrous happenings I am truly grateful for, it has still been the worst year I've had in a while. I've kept my chin up though, because I have so much to be thankful for (including you all), and it can only go uphill from here
I've made a solemn promise to myself that no matter what happens in life, I will NEVER give up painting or drawing. I can't wait to see what happens in the future ^_^
All of my love and happy holidays to each and every one of you
~Emily
