Hi, My name is Grayson "Becca" Holland, and I'm from Amsterdam.  I'm a freshman at the University of Indiana, and I  am majoring in Dance Theater, Aquatic Dance, and Eastern European Cultures.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I would like to think that I'm a very easy going guy.  I love to play many American sports like Cricket, Rugby, and Foosball.  I also love my home country's sports: Basketball, frisbee golf, ultimate frisbee, flip the cow, and ring around the windmill. 

I'm also a competitive Twister-er in my free time.  I've competed in many competitions around the Eastern European area, and I've actually won a couple of the smaller competitions.  Some people say Twister isn't a real sport, but when you see someone break their femur after falling from a 1-3-8 red-yellow-green combo, you know you are in a real sport.  My favorite competition would have to be the '98 Spring Fling Twistering Competition in Finland.  To the left you can see me in training for that competition.  I had to practice with many beautiful women to keep up my level of concentration.  I came in 5th place at the comp, but I went down in a blaze of glory :-)

In Holland (the country), we travel by a very fast form of public transportation.  As you can see, I was chosen to sit in the front this time, and I'm extremely happy!                                                                                                                                 Here in the States I learned that everyone travels by SUV.  Here you can see all the stuff I brought with me to fill my hopefully huge room in the dormitory.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Because I didn't practice my literary skills, I didn't do too well on my English proficiency, so they put me a reading dormitory for students.  I'm looking forward to the group reading sessions, and many chances to practice my English.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        My parents helped me move into my new home.  They are wonderful!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Before going on my diet, I used to be a very jolly guy that enjoyed me some cake.  Kind of like that song by 50 cents.  With regular exercise, and twistering, I've managed to keep a slim figure.  But every now and then I reward myself with a midnight cake.  This was the cake I ate before leaving home.

This is my first year marching the sousaphone, and it's a blast.  My section is very fun, and there are a lot of us!  I'm glad I switched from the cowbell in 7th grade.

In the bottom corner you can see me watching the "Procedure", our marching band's audition process on Thursday of band camp. (Auditions are a week long process leading up to this event).
