Back to School

Welcome to my new blog, Wall of Sound! This will be a place where I fill everyone in on how my grad school experience is going. For those of you that don't know, I'm currently pursuing my Masters degree in Music with a focus on Sound Recording Technology at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell.

For those of you who have never been to New England or have no clue where Lowell is, it's about 30 miles north of Boston. Some fun facts about Lowell: it's the birthplace of author Jack Kerouac; it's the title of a Death Cab for Cutie song; and it was featured in the 1995 HBO documentary "High on Crack Street."

The first week of classes hasn't been all that exciting. Pretty routine first day of class stuff. I do have homework so that's good since I don't have a job yet. I did get a student id, which should make your day. I'm not exactly sure what happened except for that she said she would count to three and then take the picture. Obviously I didn't hear her count.


The purpose of this blog is really just to let you know what sort of things I'm working on and how it's going. I plan on posting samples of projects as well as sharing any interesting/funny/frustrating stories that happen along the way. If there's anything you'd like to know about, just give me a holler and I'll try to oblige. Oh and one other thing. Since I don't have to dress up anymore I get to wear all of my fabulous T-shirts. I have a great collection so I'll make sure to post which shirt I'm wearing at the very end of each post.
