Wreck 'Em Tech =)

The Red Raider =)
The front of the campus


The recital hall. HArd to see in this picture but it is absolutely breathtaking


Some of the practice rooms



Every one of them is equipped with a piano, chair, music stand, and a digital metronome. =)

The Goin Band's lockers =)

A band hall where a jazz band was rehearsing

A classroom

and another

The campus was absolutely gorgeous

Flags =)

I saw a question mark, and thought it was funny =)



Yes, there were fountains in the library. The 3rd largest library in Texas. Well just this library, doesn't include the library that every department in the University has. This is just the general one. =)

Lots of art on the campus. They even have an art trail that you can walk to see a lot of this art =)

I told you it was beautiful....

Their buildings have a lot of Spanish influence. Even the new buildings.

Front of the S.U.B.

The police escort that was leading the Goin Band from Raiderland out of town.

They had 7 charter buses =)

And a semi to carry some of their stuff. Can you even imagine??

Where we stayed!! It was soooo much fun!

They had a caboose in the backyard!

Me and my love =)


An old fashioned coke machine that mommy enjoyed a cream soda out of =)

We stayed in the alumniroom. Wonder why...



The tub was so cute!!

EVERYTHING was Red Raider =) so fun!



SOOO many things to tell you. Ok, so I went to Tech this weekend with my mom, obviously =) So just to narrow it down, ill tell you the highlights of the trip. First of all, I visited the Schools of Business and Music. In business, as weird as it sounds, I was kinda diggin the accounting program. I know I know I know what your thinkin. But just hear me out. I could get a job almost anywhere, whether I wanted to stay close to home or if I want to do some traveling, I would get to do math which I love, plus in Tech's program, they have a plan that would take 5 years to finish but once you graduate, you would have your Bachelors AND Masters in accounting. Kind of impressive =) However the music program is just as impressive. Most people know how amazing their music is anyways but they might not know some of the statistics. Their music education program OR their music education/performance program has a 100% job placement for their graduates. Thats comforting. Some days I feel like I should take the practical route of accounting or something in business, but my heart always leads me back to music. I don't know what God has planned for me, but I have a feeling that if I end up at Tech that He would definately use me there. Yes, the rumors are true, I had a meltdown Thursday night when we got there. The town/campus overwhelmed me and the tears just were rolling down my face and my mom could barely get me to say 10 words. Fortunately, after my tour I was a little bit more confident. Lubbock would be a completely different thing for me, but who knows? Maybe thats just what I need. Ill try to post some more sometime. Hope I answered some questions. Let me know if you have some =)

  1. Leah, I am so glad you and Mom had a great time at Tech. I love your pictures. The bath tub is GREAT!!! I love accounting and would like to think that you got that from me : ), I also love music but did not get any talent in that area. I know if you follow God's leading you will be wonderful in anything you do. You are amazing and I am so proud to be your Grandma. I love you very much.
