I saw the most interesting music tonight. In the chapel, there was the music of a senior. This red haired individual synthesized a drum beat, and from that back ground music, added two violins, a cello, and a sisturn. The result was the music that is in the myocardial tissue of my heart, and makes my heart beat. What was the kind of music played?

The first mentoring meeting of the calendar year was help tonight. Due to the lack of continues members, a senior was added to the group, and he is from California. The people may have changed, and the geography may have expanded, but the message was the same. The message was that we all represent a group, and our actions determine how that group is perceived from others, and we are perceived due to the experiences that have happened in the past. Have you made a good impression today?

This afternoon, I had lunch with a young lady, also of this institution. This lunch date was the result of the newest aid to stockers, Face Book. On the evening of February 25, 2005, I got a message asking me if I wanted to have lunch sometime. I agreed and that came to fruition this afternoon. As we ordered in Chase, I found myself ordering a small amount of food, a typically feminine thing to do. She was an attractive first year, she appears nice and intelligent. I am impresses that she took the initiative, because I have never seen her, and would have never met her. Is it alright for the female to be the leader in a relationship?

Today, select members of the relationship council suggested ways to communicate with the significant other. The issue that started the ad hoc committee was due to the fact that a few gentlemen complained about long female based phone calls. The end result for the men was a quick four minute call and a happy night where they could return to their video games. If I were to call a female friend, what classifies as this special call, and would she consider the phone call and a romantic thinking of you call, or rather an uncomfortable call?

I went to Dr.Crutcher’s house for the third dinner tonight. From 6:00 pm until 8:30, I felt the importance again. The usual routine happened with the driving in the new Swedish Steal to the house, this time it was the catered buffet, and then we had group sharing. I forgot the assignment, and thus did not have my pictures and story of my life. I will be ready next time. The three mentees tonight brought to the table a real sense of family responsibility and shaky upbringing. The next time will bring up a deep group of emotions about how to describe my history. Is there ever a way to truly hide from your past?

The next mentor meeting started the same as before, Dr. Crutcher drove us through the path to dinner. In the car, we talked about, no; we blasted Aremark catering in our cafeterias. By the time we arrived, I had gotten back into the group mentoring mentality. This was a usual catered, heavenly dinner routine. We sat in the living room and were served Coke with crushed ice. Dinner was squashed, green beans and a fine salmon. Tea and Swish chocolates finished the meal. The Post-Dinner activities were Dr. Crutcher presenting our family history via pictures. It was very interesting and inspiriting to hear about their family unity (and long running family reunions.) What unites people like that, good cooking or cooking up some love?

Dear Stephanie, I have just gotten off the phone with you and the other members of the outdoors club. I had a tough situation brought into my life. I was sitting in my room having dinner when my dorm room phone rang. It was you, and you had a proposition for me. You asked me to drive you home from the whitewater rafting adventure. I said everything but no. That is what I saw happen, now my dialogue. I was put in my room having dinner alone so I could get the phone call. I never eat alone, or in my room, but there was a higher power placing me in that situation. I was forced to not only make a decision, but to see myself as powerful enough to say no, and to see you as a powerful person to trust my answer. This situation will only lead to growth. Growth in my life, and in yours. I see the need to be honest, and to tell the truth in every situation. I see growth in you too. I see our relationship strengthen. A relationship built out of nessesity. I see that you have much to teach me about being a way that I necessarily have to act like. I would like to be a more mature person, and the only way I see myself getting there right now is with your help. I hope that the car ride back will be fun, because along with being my life mentor, you are also my deepest friend. Yours truly, Reid Lavoie

I asked Dr. Ronald A. Crutcher for help with managing my time and saying no to activities that intrude my goals. But I also would like help in the field of living, co-existing, and understanding women. There are many different views; some say live with them, some live without them, either way, I am totally lost-and still not getting married! Is there a way to truly have a truce in the gender wars?

This evening I had dinner with the President, Ronald A. Crutcher, and his wife, Ms. Betty Neal Crutcher. It was an amazing evening, and I thank the power of the universe for letting me have that. I will be mentored about a subject that appears to be in the subject of racial equality in our world. I am looking forward to the evening. What do we do to be worthy of such greatness?

My third problem is the temptation of college. I am tempted to remove the idea I have had all my life that I will never have a girlfriend or wife, because I have always believe that they are a waste of money. I am not a homosexual, which I am not condoning either. I would like to clarify myself. When I say that they are too much money, I mean that the social customaries are not worth the outcome I get. I am seeing that friendship is more than just keeping your money. It is what the companion can get out of you. It may be different for you, but I think we al get some benefit when we are around someone else. Do the benefits of love and companionship out weigh the pain of inner reflection that I get when one get in love? Thank you.

I still have not made a final decision about the physical activity I will participate in during my tenure at college. I have the option of swimming or basketball. Theses are fulltime sports, meaning I have one or two practices per day. The third option is club sports. I went to swim one afternoon, and it was fun to float in the water, and I tried, but I did not succeeded in being terrific. I went to basketball tonight. There was the tri-vector happening. The captain here at Wheaton won our high school the state championship (when I was there as a freshman.) Tonight the new recruit came to “tryout” and he went to the same basketball camp as I did when he was in 8th grade. I am not his hero, but it makes a good and interesting story. I missed the signup for club sports. What brings the most joy, school sports, or friends? I have a time and commitment issue to think of…Thank you.

It has been several calendar flips since the last entry. Much has happened, and I have not made progress. I have the ‘open’ schedule of college. I say open and not free because there is stuff to do, but not certain times to pain it. I have to read my textbooks, but I could always out it off until a later time. This is my killer thought. I am working to use there schedules, one mouthy, one weekly, and one daily. How much time is really in a day? Thank you.

Today I had my first experience with college work. I had to read tow chapters for in one science textbook, and then two in another book. That leave two more assignmnets. I have all day to read, but I need the time. I took a break to have a snake in Chase dinning hall (I love unlimited food plans!) This may be overwhealming, but now that a good core group of kids from my floor are going to talke a trip, I feel better, and more able to do more work. I do not mind driving to the different places, because first, that is why I have a car, secone, They are fun to be with, and third, I am able to make coppies of there notes. I need the note help, because notetaking is a real weakness. Thanks for listening.

I am sitting here with Liz finding-out how to use the school email, website, and blackboard. This is really cool. This is my first entry, so please do not laugh at the unprofessional writing of my writing. I hope these entries get better. I excited to be here at the greatest college ever. But classes have not started yet. I do not know what will happen when the class begin, and the fun and games that is planed for us stops. opps, I think I broke the chair I am sitting on, and broke the silence of this quiet library. Any suggestions on how to do well at college?
