News! News!

This post is to invite all in the Portland OR area to a wonderful holiday concert. The Columbia Chorale of Oregon is singing at the grotto, we will be performing sections o f Brittain's Ceremony of Carol, as well as many holiday favorites from the serene to the hilarious. The concert will be on Saturday, November 25th, I believe at 7:00 pm. We will also be having 2 concerts the following weekend, one at the Mt Tabor Presbyterian church, on Saturday, and on Sunday, at the First Christian Church in St. Helens.
The Columbia Chorale, for those who may not know is a non profit, community based chorus, based in St Helens, Oregon. We are led by Ryan Heller, a talented singer and conductor. We are always looking for new members, and people who wish to donate money.

Phew, thats over

I said I would blog our concert dates bu thats not really what I wanted to write about today. Today I am writing about College, in all its many splendored wonder and glory. This term I'm taking 3 classes, Psychology 101, Speech Communication 100, and Spanish 201 and 211.
I am enjoying immensely my psychology class, my instructor is young and energetic and she has done a good job of keeping the class from becoming too selfhelp-like, even though the class could easily take that turn. She is a passionate lecturer, and has recently achieved her doctorate, so she knows what she is talking about.
However, my enthusiasm wanes when i speak of my communication class. OK, os its a 100 level class, its easy, but it is dumbed down for those who really need it, although most people have to take the class as a requirement for their degrees. So I think that there should be a SP 100 (for degree seekers) and SP 100 (for beginners) that way those of us who have some idea of what communication is all about, wont be bored for the whole term.
Enough venting Kim, move on to spanish, thats interesting.
I love spanish, I had taken it in high school, but I was tired of being stuck in classes with people who didnt want to be there. So I am overjoyed to be in a class with others who are learning a foreign language because they want to, not just to be accepted into a university.

So thats my classes, which, by-the-way, im almost done with, and let me tell you I can hardly wait for break.

Hope Ya'll had a wonderful turkey day!
