Fleet foxes!

Well I ended up not auditioning for the musical because it would have made my schedule pretty near impossible. but...then I realized that I could go to a concert I wanted to go to! So on the 10th I will be adventuring to the Fleet Foxes concert with Liam. We're also using it as part of our 2 year anniversary adventure. So here's a Fleet Foxes video for anyone who cares

The first picture here is from RLA training week when we got to put out fires which is always a party. It was unseasonably warm here for a while, being in the 80s during the day and 50s at night but Wisconsin seems to have finally remembered it's fall and gotten cold, just in time for classes. So classes started on wednesday and now I'm up to my eyes in homework from statistics, French Grammar and German.
This weekend was the Concert choir retreat which was made even more awesome by my friend Sarah making choir this year so my two best friends and I are all in the same choir now which makes life fun and easier to plan :). But yes we went on a concert choir retreat to Bjorklunden which was fun as always and great weather!
Some people stole pie...
We had a bonfire sing along


We also took all the mattresses off of the uncomfy bunk beds and made one giant bed in our room. Once we arrived back home, Sarah and I embarked on our first cooking adventure of many to come since we both have tiny meal plans. We made some fancy schmancy mac and cheese which turned out pretty well if I do say so myself. Opera auditions are next week but I'm trying not to get my hopes up as there's only one soprano part and lots and lots of sopranos...

Garden party

Well training is in it's last day since the freshmen get here tomorrow! Our big theme has been going green this year and so now in the spirit of things, I was working in the garden all day! Lawrence students run their own organic garden (Sustainable Lawrence University Garden- SLUG). I wish I had some pictures of the stuff we picked today but here's another picture of the garden and a pretty eggplant from someone else's garden. Ours were a prettier color though. We also picked six baskets of tomatoes (roma, cherry and normal), 2 large bags of squash, 1 bag of the afore-mentioned eggplants in white and purple, and 2 big buckets of carrots! All of which are now going to our school dining services in a campus wide effort to buy more locally grown and organic food. So that was a lot of fun and I'm hoping to work down there a lot more this year. I'm also hoping to do some ESL tutoring and teach intro French at the same school I taught music theory at my freshman year. So... a busy and exciting year ahead! Lots of auditions coming up but I managed to squeeze in a lesson with my voice teacher Mrs Bozeman last week so I feel on point. More updating to come!

Escuela!

my room! i have a wall full of built in shelves and a fancy two paneled curtains. But here are some pictures anyways. Training started today and was a lot of fun and it's nice to see everyone who's back. Also my voice teacher is giving me a lesson on friday even though classes haven't started yet! yay Junior year! The third picture is the view from my window.

heading back

Well it's about time to head back to school. Assuming hurricane Hanna doesn't rain me out. I fly back on sunday though so hopefully everything will be better by then. Anyways here's my address for the upcoming year.

Molly Wilson
Room 107
733 East Alton St.

There's RA training for a week, then a week with just the freshmen then all the rest of the students move in and craziness ensues. But I'll post pictures of my room as soon as it's nice and organized. More posts once I have more to talk about which is essentially when school starts!
