Hello, my name is Leland Waight. This is my first time ever blogging so I am not sure what to write. I am 21 years old and am in my first semester at SWIC. I just recently moved to Illinois from Virginia about 3 weeks ago. My family was out here for 6 months before i joined up with them, so they are a lot more acquainted than I am. It is a bit of a change, not much, but it is definitely a lot colder here. I absolutely LOVE music, ALL types of music, and when i say all, i mean all. I pride myself on being eclectic with the types of music i listen to. I also love movies and sports. I own over like 100 DVDs, it's my addiction. I am a die hard Yankees fan (I as born in New York, not bandwagon). I am also a Tennessee Titans fan and have been since they were the Oilers. I love to go out and have a good time, but since I don't know anybody in this state, it is proving to be pretty difficult to do that. I live with my parents and younger brother and sisters. and our 2 dogs, Dulce and Chino. I am trying to find a job, as I have been since I got here, so if anybody following me knows of any openings let me know (JK....but not really). I guess that is about it, I am sure you will learn more about me as the semester goes on, so good luck this semester everybody.

  1. You and I actually have a lot in common! Even though I'm in my second semester at SWIC, I moved from New Jersey over the summer...it is colder.
    Music is something my life would be nothing without, seriously.
    I was born in New York and lived out my childhood there before I moved to New Jersey with my family. Yankees are my team. :)
    It's really difficult to make friends, I still haven't yet...so it is hard to do stuff. I know how that feels.

  3. I hope you enjoy your time here at SWIC. It's a good place to take classes and meet people. Try to get involved here on campus. If I hear of any jobs, I'll let you know. Many times I have been the "new student," so I can relate to your situation.
