The Melonator 2 Concert – Verdict: Success!
Dec. 2, 2010—Last night marked the Melodores‘ Winter Concert -The Melonator 2: Judgment Day. Why the movie theme?

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...
