Jeez, the year's flown by so fast. But the fun is not quit over yet. The 3rd Annual Finals Week Street Fiesta Belmont (linkage) is looking to kick it up a notch. I'm excited to taste the food, hear the music, and see the colorful displays.

Well, with school almost over, it's kind of bittersweet right now. I really don't want to go home, but at the same time, I know I must. It's going to be hard to say goodbye, and I've already had to say it to a few people. Freshman year has gone by so quickly. It's so crazy, and I can't believe it's done already. But it has been so worthwhile. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know God has a plan for me placing me here, and I'm excited to see what He's going to do in my life over the summer and next year at school as well.

The sand in the hour glass is slowly slipping away as I evalute this whole past year. The dream of transferring to a premiere university which offers a degree in Music Business is now a reality. The hint of stress, the anticipation of the summer months, and the array of mixed emotions leaves me speechless. The whole year sped by like a fast train on a one-way track.

Each sorority or fraternity here at Belmont has philanthropy. There is one specific organization that we promote and raise money to help. The girls of Phi Mu do a lot around campus to support the Children's Miracle Network, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals across North America. This past Wednesday, the girls of Phi Mu put on a male beauty pageant in order to raise money for Children's Miracle Network.

Wow, this week was one of the most, if not the most, hectic weeks of my long, but young college career. For starters, the CMT's had one side of campus blocked and heavily secured for the big awards show. Don't get me wrong it was kind of cool to see stars and celebrities just roam campus at their leisure. Well, maybe just the roped off areas. Don't get too happy as we didn't get to see them up close, because all the guys were talking about this girl named Carrie. She's supposed to be this big country star, but I don't really keep up with country music. Two, I am a huge NBA fan and the playoffs are starting up this week and my team of course, and the best team, the Dallas Mavericks, are going to win it all this year. Also, this means that there will actually be something worth watching for about a month and a half until the playoffs are over.

So, aside from my lack of creativity in the area of a title for this entry, I have been very busy. Balancing a social life with school is tough, especially when one of my favorite things to do is hang out with my friends. However, this weekend looks like it's going to be a great time as I will be celebrating my 19th birthday. I'm so blessed to be able to share it with people who are so loving and fun and fun-loving.

On a different subject though, I applied to be an SLA which stands for Spiritual Life Assistant (More info here and my interview is on Saturday (My birthday!). I'm really excited, a little nervous.

The CMT Awards came to Belmont Monday night and I am proud to say that I was there to witness them. In the front row, right next to the presenters to be precise. I am obsessive with country music, so the whole situation was a dream come true to me.

I was with awesome friends (as you can see in the picture), listening to amazing music, and standing literally three feet away from some of my favorite musicians ever! We even got to shake hands with a bunch of the presenters and performers! It was an awesome experience, and worth every one of those six hours waiting in line to get in.

On a more serious note, Monday was also a day of great tragedy. What happened at Virginia Tech is still hard for me to fathom. My heart goes out to all of those people affected by it.

This past Saturday, my buddies and I attended a Carrie Underwood rehearsal for the CMT Awards. This phenomenal vocalist performed her smash-hit, “Before He Cheats.” The CMT Awards are held right here in Belmont’s very own Curb Event Center! By the way, Carrie Underwood put on a rock-awesome performance!

In relation to the awards, I am definitely anticipating the exciting performances from artists such as Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, and Bon Jovi! I cannot wait for this evening as it will be one of the most exciting nights thus far at Belmont! Click here to read more about what will be going on this evening with the award ceremony!

As I glance at my planner, I notice that I have three tests this week. I have prepared myself to the best of my ability this past weekend. I have a test in Microeconomics, a test in Calculus, and finally, another in Public Relations. I guess this is not the most amazing part of college, however I believe that good always comes out of a challenging situation! Furthermore, I cannot believe that there are only 3 ½ weeks of school remaining! It seems like second semester just began! With that said, I will definitely miss all of my friends throughout the summer months!

Yes sir, I am a couple of days away from not being a teenager anymore. That's right, I'm going to turn the BIG 20 this Wednesday the 11th. I can already feel myself getting older every day. I'm finally getting a mustache and starting on a goatee. This isn't fair because all of my friends have had lots of facial hair since high school, and I'm a sophomore in college just now getting a few whiskers. Another reason why I feel like I'm old is because I sleep every chance I get in a split-second. As soon as my classes are done for the day, I head back to the dorm and take a nap every day. See, if that's not an old man I don't know what is. Last year, I didn't really do much on my birthday but eat some cake, but this year I am going to try and have a party and do it real big. Hey, you only turn 20 once right? Next year's birthday party will be the big one to remember, but that's a long ways away. For now I'm just going to enjoy being 20.

Just like college students all around the world, I am counting down the days until summer! It's funny to think that after our Easter break this weekend, we only will have about 5 weeks remaining in the semester. While I've truly enjoyed this semester, I think it's about time for some R&R (rest and relaxation). So for the next few weeks, I have to make sure I'm a good little student and continue to attend classes. I mean, honestly, I can handle waking up early for just a few more weeks. When doing homework, I just remind myself..."5 more weeks til sunshine and summertime!"

I know I keep on saying it, but it is crazy how fast time goes. I am sitting in my living room at home, in four days I will be back at Belmont, and then within another four weeks, I will be in my living room again, and school will be over! I am excited that the end of the year is so near, but I know that I am nowhere near ready for it to end. Finals, papers and reports galore...it will be a long four weeks.

Ok, so this entry has nothing to do with President Fisher (I thought it would be a fun title), but it has everything to do with building. This past Saturday I was able to participate in a Habitat For Humanity (More info on Habitat here) build with a handful of my friends. It was pretty awesome. We worked on the roof trusses, and then we put in a window before we had to head out. Loads of fun all around, and I kept my tool belt cause I'm klepto and do things like that. Just kidding, I honestly just forgot to return it.... I swear.

It is exactly 1:10a.m. right now! This is exactly what I love about spilling my thoughts and feelings into this journal of some sort. I just returned from working NSAI’s 15th Annual Tin Pan South songwriter’s festival! As a volunteer, I assisted in the process of checking people in and out of 3rd and Lindsley (a premier Nashville venue.) The evening was quite rewarding, due to the fact that I was able to watch the majority of the songwriter rounds.
