It’s July Already
It’s been a while since I posted anything, and I didn’t want to go the entire month on June without putting something on my website - so… here’s a rundown of how my summer is progressing thus far.
As many or most of you know, I’m still working stage at BJU and doing my church music internship at Community Baptist in Greer. My internship is going very well thus far. It’s neat being able to interact with the people there and to get involved in their ministry. Though I was a bit skeptical at first, I think it was wise to go somewhere I hadn’t been before to get a fresh perspective on music ministry and, in a broader sense, church ministry. I have been able to sing in choir (and direct a bit), play in the orchestra, play the keyboards, and sing a few vocal numbers among other things. I’ve just finished a database program that will help Pastor Matt in his efforts to organize the music library (another one of our projects this summer).
Work at stage has been neat as well. I started off working in Rodeheaver during the month of May on some electrical wiring projects. Then we spent the month of June making some renovations to Stratton Hall (which will be finished this week). If you’ve ever been in Stratton Hall, you may recall the reddish-maroon curtain that covered the wall at the back of the auditorium (if not, follow the link above and look at the 360 panorama). Well, we took that down, and constructed a wood-paneled wall that matches the existing paneling on the side walls. In addition, we have swapped out the old ceiling tiles with newer, more acoustic ones. Overall, this should transform the acoustics in SH a good bit and make it more appealing for musical performances.
In other news . . .
- I get to go home for a week starting next Monday! I haven’t been home since January, so it will be good to get to relax and spend some time at home, finally.
- In case any of you are wondering - yes, I’m working on BJU Coffee Tycoon. The new version for next semester (if I get to program everything that I want to) will be supercool. I’ve been conversing with some friends on how to make it better and I’m just starting the programming for it. With any luck, it will be completely different from the first version and hopefully much more enjoyable and realistic.
- I’m awaiting publication on a vector design tutorial that I wrote for www.vectortuts.com. It should be published this week.
- I’ll be able to catch up with everyone on facebook next week when I get home. If you’re still waiting for me to respond to anything facebook-wise from the last month and a half … sorry.
That’s all from me for now. Leave a comment so I don’t get lonely, ok?
