I should go to bed. I have an 8 a.m. class tomorrow. I haven’t had a class this early since Old Testament II my sophomore year.
This time it’s Intro to Environmental Science–the one gen. ed class I’ve waited to take. I’m certain every senior has at least one gen. ed to take. For some reason, they usually end up being science courses too….
Auditions for the fall theatre season are Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ve gotta dash to Target to print off my makeshift headshot! Tomorrow I audition for the Chekhov One Act Festival and on Wednesday I audition for “Amadeus.”
Well, I’m glad to be back….
The CU campus has never looked better in my opinion, and I have never been more excited for a school year than this year! The grounds look great, the grass is a vibrant green, lots of new faces, high hopes for academics, athletics, and extra-curriculars, and a great year in sight. I had a rather busy summer, getting married and all… Read the rest of this entry »
Contemplating my options once again, I was lost in the confusion of “WHAT DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THE REST OF MY LIFE?” - Well, this summer I came up with the grand idea to switch over to Special Education! That gave me some peace to know I have a secure plan and feel comfortable with my career choice.
This summer was THE BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE as I went to India for my brother’s wedding, hung out with old friends/made some new ones, relaxed up north and got some down time with God. Yet for some reason I was not quite ready to go back to school after having such an amazing time. I was a little nervous! It is now my 5th(?) year at Concordia and I AM STILL NERVOUS???? Usually I was more than ecstatic to be back on campus, but this time I’ve been finally enjoying what life has to offer so I wasn’t so sure I was ready to leave that! It’s also been hard because my grandma’s boyfriend, YES - “BOYFRIEND” has been in and out of the hospital like crazy this year and not doing well. I did yard work for him on the side this summer once again and to leave him was incredibly difficult.
BUT, once I got back on campus I realized I have a ton of awesome friends here and it’s EXCITING to live in the cities!!! Plus it was also nice to be back on campus quite some time before classes and the stress began!
SO starting off the year right, a bunch of us guys went to Taylors Falls, MN!
I realize that life can be so much more exciting if you just get out there, explore, and HAVE FUN!!! Good luck to all in the new school year, and remember to take some time to enjoy life!
Hey all. I’ve stuck it out with this thing. Sorta. School’s about to start and another round of Freshly Squeezed is here. I guess it’s time to do the obligatory “What I did this summer” essay.
I was a member of the student company of Theatre L’Homme Dieu, an old, rustic theatre on Lake L’Homme Dieu, which lies just outside of Alexandria, Minn. (It’s pronounced luh-HA-muh-dew; the French just gets butchered up north) There, I spent ten weeks acting, painting, building, eating, and some karaoke-ing. Read the rest of this entry »
Yes, it’s now 10 days-ish until I graduate college. It’s been a wild ride, but one I wouldn’t trade away for anything in the world. Read the rest of this entry »
This is a new segment entitled “Wyss’ Pieces” featured on my campus television show “Concordia Spotlight.” In this episode, I wanted to test the geography knowledge of the students here at Concordia. The results were stunning to say the least!
I really don’t know what to think about this weather. It’s the middle of April and we’re still expecting snow. It’s only been over 60 degrees once so far this year. Our track team has had two out of three meets cancelled, and we’re on the verge of cancelling another this weekend. I just can’t believe the winter is still lasting this long.

For all you faithful readers, if any of you are still left, I apologize for my lengthy hiatus. A lot has been going on in my life, all of which is good, so there’s no need to worry. I haven’t posted since September, but it feels like a few weeks, tops. Some big things have happened, most notably the CSP Women’s Volleyball team winning the National Championship. Let me tell you the story of that…
For the past two months, I’ve been leaping inside the mind and body of Leslie the Lizard from Edward Albee’s “Seascape.”
This production is completely run by students. Tara did all the set construction. Greta did the lighting design. Jo did the brilliant costumes. Colby got the sound. Bri and Alex shouted out our lines when we screw them up (which manages to happen ALL the time, but that’s how live theatre goes). Rebekah managed to hone in on what’s going on and why the characters are saying what they’re saying. I’m astounded by this process. And for three nights, at about 100 minutes each time, all of those elements swirl together for the story. Read the rest of this entry »
