I'll try to make it up to you (who ever out there is bored enough to read this).
So a fair bit has happened since I last posted here. Last year at Muscatine over Memorial Day weekend, Greg Harper had asked me to sing the anthem for the pro's, and I declined. Over the winter I sang the anthem at several of my school's basketball games and people seemed to like it. And I learned a little bit of anxiety management.... Haha. Then this year, at Superweek, which I was already attending as an official, the lead announcer, Eddy Van Guise, asked me to sing the anthem at some of the races. I deliberated, but quickly decided that the practice in performing would be worth it, and I knew I wouldn't have a major case of nerves and screw it up, even though I knew a lot of the people who would hear me sing it, which wasn't the case when I sang it at school. So I sang for Richton Park (a new race this year), one of the Benseville stages, Waukesha's Carl Zach Classic, Cedarburg, Downers Avenue, and Whitefish Bay.
We all survived Superweek this year, even though there were some organizational issues to be sorted out. Hopefully everything will be okay next year.
Local racing this year has been quite good. Cyclocross season starts at the end of the month, and I'll try to keep this updated throughout the season.
I survived moving into college and have a great roommate. She even likes good music. And she plays piano a bit and sings a bit. It's pretty damn cool. All my classes (except the required ones, which there are only two of) are pretty fun. I especially like the fact that I have around seven music classes. Definitely rocking out. And there's a music group (student run) up here that I've joined. It's called Howlin' at the Moon, and we do all sorts of music (whatever we can, and want to, play) and I think we'll be amazing because all of the people involved are really cool. Everyone here is pretty nice, and we do fun crazy stuff. yay!
