October !

Hope all is well on the home front! Today I had the opportunity to lead for an "action sports conference " which is for skaters, surfers and snowboarders! It was my first time leading since I got back , which was really cool! My band is playing for a school chapel in two weeks and I am also playing for an artist at the upcoming artist show (we have one every month ) . 
This is my weekly schedule. If you care to know waft I do. 

Monday - "Off" which means I do homework 

Tuesday - 9:30 I normally take some time Tuesday morning to do some office hours with my practicum leader, this is my time to actually get the tedious work done. At 1 I have vocal lab, but that it for classes on Tuesdays. I have a meeting with my mentor at 3 and House cleaning and room checks at 6.

Wednesday - This tends to be my busiest    day! I have a 9 am chapel ( I do sound every other chapel, so I have to be there at 7:45 ) after chapel I have Ensembles ( where we practice with our bands, after ensembles I have lunch and worship lab at 1:30 . On a normal Wednesday I go directly to Eikon (young adults ministry) to help set up for worship and learn about the production process (music, lights, PowerPoint and so on ) Normally I can leave Eikon around 9 and get home for vocal practice! 
Thursdays- Thursday morning we have second year practicum meeting where we talk about what we did in practicum the week before, after that we go to our Acts class, I go straight to a lunch meeting about tech stuff and every other week I have a vocal lesson. Thursdays I have some time to run through my ensemble songs and practice any songs that I should learn for bands.

Friday - At 10:30 we have Advanced ableton class , prayer at 1, songwriting and create time at 1:30-4.

Saturday - At 10:00 we have ministry leadership , at 1:15 we have charting class and second year small groups at 
2:30. 

Sunday- I normally spend the morning and afternoon I have been shadowing sound guys at high school ministry !

It seems like a lot of gaps , but when you factor on an hour of voice practice every day , practice and homework it gets pretty chaotic. But I like being busy ! 

We have officially launched our electronic worship band, we have our first booking on the 8th of November. We have to fill an hour , which should add a good work load to my practice time :) We also booked a trip to Tallahassee for a night of worship and worship at a few youth groups in late November ! A little birdie told me that our band is booked for a tour this summer .... Maybe even with a stop in Delaware County ! 

I must go to bed now because I have a beach baptism to attend tomorrow at 8, it's my first beach baptism so it should be a good time. 

See you all next weekend !!!!
