Melodores News/ Recent performances
Nov. 11, 2010—So I know we promised that the CD would be released on Tuesday, but a couple of copyright hangups have forced us to push the date back until we have cleared everything up.

Registration!
Nov. 10, 2010—Today, I woke up at 5:45 am because freshman registration for spring classes opened at 6 am. The morning was total chaos and all of my classes seemed to be full. So, when I logged out of registration at 6:15 am, I was only enrolled in 5 credit hours, which is not nearly enough to...

Old Friends and New Adventures
Nov. 2, 2010—Whew does time fly by! I can’t believe it is already half way through the semester. This week my boss at my internship took me out to my “half-way-there” lunch and my professor told us, “well class, today you are officially half-way done with your deliverables for the semester.” This is a very scary thought...
Professors…They’re Real People Too

The ‘talking heads’ were three of the Faculty Heads of Houses of the Commons.
