I decided to go for a walk yesterday, stretch my legs and get some fresh air (it gets monotonous being stuck inside the house for days on end). I did my usual loop, although I did take my time as I walked around the school. Again, it was a nice day, so I was in no rush to get back to the house. There were plenty of people outside, which is always nice to see since on my previous walks all the company I had were squirrels. Squirrels are cute and all, but it\u2019s always refreshing to see people enjoying the nice weather.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Anyway, after my walk I made my way over to the Fine Arts center to see the Glee Club Concert. I normally have an aversion to choirs due in no small part to my high school choir director, who was a total prima donna and a jerk to our theatre teacher, but since that was in the past and several of my Brothers were performing, I thought I\u2019d stop by. We have some pretty amazing singers here at Wabash, and I\u2019d like to say that I have a somewhat decent ear for music so it sounded pretty in tune. Unfortunately, I wasn\u2019t feeling the greatest at the time, so I left at intermission to go take a nap.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1012\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1012\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Glee-Club.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1012\" alt=\"Glee Club preparing to sing.

I did register for next semester earlier today (and didn\u2019t get half the classes I wanted, but what can you do?), so I have significantly less to worry about for next year. Now I have a bit of time to relax, and with my parents stopping by for a visit in a few weeks that\u2019s more than enough to keep me focused for the end of the year.<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve been having a pretty good stretch of weather lately.
