Tomorrow my dad and my two brothers are coming to visit. I am really excited! I haven't seen one of my brothers since I left home and I can't wait to see him again! They are going to come later in the afternoon and stay for dinner. They want to eat in the Mensa. That should be interesting. It will be a good experience for my one brother though, as he will be starting to look at colleges within the next year.
I love all of the experiences that I get at Wartburg. It is so cool to go to the different concerts and special guests. I went to see the comedian Friday night. I thought that she was really funny. I liked her better than the previous comedian. He had a lot more racial jokes, which can be funny, just as long as they are directed at all groups equally. He did a pretty good job picking on all racial groups, but it is still one of those things that you don't know if you should laugh or not. The other comedian was able to be funny without making a ton of questionable jokes, which is one of the reasons why I enjoyed listening to her more. I feel that there is enough racial tension in the world as it is. Although, maybe that is why his jokes were funny. They exposed stereotypes and preconceived notions that groups have against one another and we laugh at them because we not only know that we really do think this way, but also because it makes us uncomfortable to have our preconceived notions brought to our attention
I saw the concert "Real Men Sing" tonight as well. They were really good. Listening to them really made me miss choir. They sang the song "The Awakening" by Joseph Martin. This is one of my favorite men's pieces ever. The guys at my high school sang it last year and I fell in love with it. It was so cool to hear it again, especially with 250 guys singing it. It was amazing!
I myself have never been a fan of comedians. I'm not sure what it is, I have just never really enjoyed them. I guess because they seem to make fun of other people in order to get a laugh. Being as that is one of my pet peeves, I don't tend to appreciate them too much.
