Hi..Hi.. new member!

I  feel like i haven't been here in a while.. :\ maybe its just because of all the things that have been going on around me these past days.. Ok so i have good news :D 
Monday my mom called me to see how i was doing and stuff and she tells me that one of my cousin's from Peru is coming!!!!
I thought maybe she was kidding, but she wasn't :) My cousin is coming to live with us for a few months and its gonna be so exciting... well I'm not gonna be there as much as i want, but I'm so happy she's coming to visit... Yay!! lol. 
My cousin is 14 years old and she's a very sweet girl :)))) 
This weekend i'm going home because i have a a dentist's appointment and i'll get to see her and talk to her.
I'm also planning for her to come to Meredith one weekend and sleep over, and just check out the college :D
Ok well that has been the only exciting thing happening to me these past days lol.

Japanese Drum convocation!

Today i decided to attend the convocation for the Japanese drum club... and let me tell you it was AWESOME!!
This was such a great opportunity to learn about culture that i just couldn't pass it up, specially kause i love Japanese culture :)
The event started with two Japanese club members introducing us to this magical art that dates back to 1500 years of use in Japan. I found out the actual name for this type of drumming is called TAIKO! lol i love the name. 
The presenters were so wonderful, they played for us many intense, incredible, passionate songs :D It was just so awesome to watch how amazing they played. 
Overall i had a great time learning about this and watching the performance. 
I think more people should have gone... and they even let us participate and play some notes on the drums.. lol.
