New Mascot

So our college, a few years ago, got a new board of directors who decided that the name "Rebel" was offensive and might insult others. So they assigned a new mascot (since we didn't have on to start with) "Red Hawk", which they said sounded enough like "Rebel" to please students. After 3-4 years they decided that Red Hawk was lame, and didn't really sound that much like Rebel. So after much debate the finally decided on "Red Storm", which sounds a lot more like "Rebel". Then they proceeded to color it black, except when he goes into "Tasmanian Dirt Devil" mode and turns red. He also takes on a nose ring and his eyes turn blue. Of course the school colors are red and blue, but lets not consider that when sketching the mascot.

Comments from Dixie Students:

This Mascot is for the bulls.
Now our mascot really sucks.
I thought the bull would be red.

I really don't see why we can't remain the "Rebels" and not worry about creating costumes and characters. But I'm not the one wielding the mighty checkbook.

school

School has officially started. I am already feeling the stress of having early morning classes. I have a job now. It will only last for a few more days, unless they like me then the might work with my schedule. That would be SWEET!!! School so far is good. I've only been to 4 of my 8 classes, but I'm sure they will turn out great. That's all I have for now, so I'll see y'all on the flip side.

Christmas Music

So, I played my violin in church on Sunday. I think it sounded really good. It's about 7 mins long, so if you have the time I think you should listen. :)

The Tree

Well, We finally got our Christmas Tree put up. I think it turned out really good. It also turned out smaller than we thought it would. Maybe next year we can get a bigger tree. One that could touch the ceiling... If Josiah will let me. Hope everyone is having a great Christmas holiday!

This is our tree all decorated, we even have some presents! :)
