... 2nd is the best

Well the day has finally come when Songfest is over, and I received my life back. In case you were unaware, Songfest is a philanthropic song and dance competition that Chi Omega, a sorority on campus, puts on. I had the privilege of being in charge of Songfest for BCA, along side my wonderful partner, Laura Brannan of Theta. What that term "being in charge" means practically is that we have forfeited a ton of free time and potential fun in order that we might gain dance moves, perfect harmonies, and ultimately this wonderful 2nd place trophy (t-shirt added for effect). Some may think that I wouldn't be excited about a mere second place finish, but those that know me and my uncompetitive nature, know that I'm more than happy with second.

I'd like to thank all the Chi-O girls who worked harder than anyone else to put this thing on, as it raises so much money for Make A Wish and the Brazos Valley Rehab Center. Thanks also to all the BCA guys and Theta girls who worked so hard on this crazy thing. Thanks to Jason the stage hand for being tight among his less-than-tight co-workers. Thanks to Mrs. Hall and Angela Kelly for being my elementary musical influences, and without whom I wouldn't be singing today. Thanks to the Beatles, Bach, and Elvis for letting us use your music royalty-free. I could go on, but they're waving the sign at me... Thanks to Jesus and all of you who came out and cheered us on!

d.o.-
that was well worth my time, and you continue to increase in humor...i was not aware that this would happen; however, i feel your ability as a comical writer has great potential...perhaps while you sit in mgmt 372 or whatever, you should consider writing a funny book...zaijian a... -the one who tackled the great wall with you and could have done without seeing that last tower...
