Hello everyone! I apologize for the uncustomary delay in my posting, but blogger wanted to be a booger for quite some time, and wouldn't let me create new posts. However, I'm back up and running, and looking forward to updating theoretical deviation with news about college, life, and exciting new information as often as possible!
So, as you are most likely aware, I'm attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute right now. Until most recently I was an Environmental Engineering major, however, I am now in the Professional Writing Program: Major and also a Music Minor, so I am now officially a part of the large statistic of major-changing college students. That's alright though, because I already feel happier in my new major. For those of you unaware, Professional Writing at WPI is similar to Technical Writing -- where you are educated on how to write for magazines, newspapers, or your own pleasure. I decided to switch since I was obviously enjoying the writing portion of all of my science classes more than any other part. Maybe one day you'll see me as Chief Editor of Scientific American, who knows?
Besides the actual coursework, there is the extracurricular activites in which I'm involved. I sing in Alden Voices (the Chorale), Festival Chorus (the open Chorus), Technichords (WPI's No-fella, A Capella), Vocal Performance Lab (VPL - a chamber group), and RNA (Rhythmically Naughty A Capella - a four-part a capella group formed by friends :-P). I also arrange music for these groups, which is really exciting! Besides singing, I also play cello, help GAEA -- the Environmental Club, knit, dance, and read! I'm never without something to do.
There is of course the dorm-residence, which isn't actually that bad. My room is rather small, but since one of my roommates has migrated upstairs with her boyfriend, it isn't too confining. My other roommate is one of my best friends here, and it makes for great living quarters. Also, many of my friends are upper-classmen, and have apartments all around campus, so I can go there and relax if necessary. The one great thing about college is that you are never short on friends. I have so many wonderful friends who are always there, and if they're are reading this (which they should be, grrrr) they know I'm talking about them.
Life itself is rather boring. I'm plugging along through all of my school stuff and singing stuff, and trying not to let the little things get to me. With all the stress that school causes, I can't let the things which aren't truly problems bother me. Who needs a boyfriend? I mean, it's always nice to know you're loved, but why is it something for which I am striving? It's interesting because I know I have options: at a school where the ration of men to women is 3:1, you are almost guaranteed an admirer of sorts, but none of those whom I am aware of are options for myself. I've found I have this great gift, though, for falling for already taken men. So, if you're looking for a guy who has a girlfriend, ask me! I'm sure I can point them out to you. Other than that, I'm just keeping up.
Other than that, I've not much else to write. I suppose I would reccoment reading The People's Act of Love by James Meek and listening to some good bands, maybe Copper Tree, for instance. And, as always, I would say have a wonderful day and keep in touch!

Hey, kiddo. So, you've changed your major! Just don't do it as often as your father did, and you should still graduate on time!
