I love to sing-a! About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a! I love to sing-a!

[tunes]: none.



So. I feel like I should probably tell you how that audition for the music department went. Besides messing up a little bit here and there, it went pretty well. I was shaking like crazy, though, which is very unusual for me. Normally I get a little nervous, but don't shake much until after I'm done. This time, my legs were going like crazy and I couldn't get them to stop. Strangest thing ever. But, once I was done, they talked to me for a little and then I left. Later that day I got a call from one of the people in the audition and got the unofficial results of it. They are as follows; in my own words, of course...

I was an idiot for trying out for the BFA since I don't really have any classical training. Apparently, the BFA is for people who have been doing that kind of stuff for years and years and such. Oops! While I felt a little bit like a prize idiot, I'm not all that fussed by the mistake. Nothing I can do about it now, and I learned a lesson from it. However, they did think that I have potential and I will be, instead, doing a BA in Music-Performance. I can start with that and then audition again later after I've had more training. The fact that they think I have potential is an encouraging fact and I'm quite happy with the results as they are. My Chorale teacher, who was also part of the pannel for the audition told me the same thing the other day and it makes me really happy that he felt that way. I think, if he had his way, I might have even been in the BFA program, which makes me feel special. He's such a sweet guy and I'm really glad to have him as a teacher.


Let's see. Is there anything else I was going to talk about? Well, I had this really strange dream the night before last where this guy who I'm kind of sort of interested in turned out to be gay. Rather disappointing in that respect, but it was an interesting dream overall. I think the whole "him turning out to be gay" part was due to the fact that, for awhile, I wasn't exactly sure if he was gay or not. I'm still not 100% sure, actually, but I'm pretty certain he's straight. My life, sometimes...

Other than that typically strange dream of mine, I don't have much else to say about the past few days. Tomorrow, on the other hand, is a completely different story. I haven't been so busy in quite awhile. First, there's church, which I haven't been to since the week before last. (That whole being in a lot of pain thing had a lot to do with that.) Then, my parents should be arriving sometime after that and it's over to Erin's for her kids' birthday party a little after noon. From there, I have to go over to Gorell at 2 for warm-ups before the 3 o'clock concert that my parents are coming to. Then, it's back to Erin's for mor birthday party-ness and general visiting with relatives. It'll be a busy, but fun day, I think.

WAIT! I forgot to mention that I finally got to see Erin's new baby! She is so cuteeee! I got to hold her, too! I went over there Thursday evening after the audition for dinner, which her Aunt Cami brought and I had a lot of fun playing with Maura and Sammy. I gave Sugar plenty of attention, too, and she was loving that. She was even giving me kisses, which Erin said meant that she really loved it. (I miss my doggie!)


Well, that's it for now. I think I'll head back to my place and read that chapter for history class that I'm supposed to and finally clean my room. I should also head over to Goodwill and look for some stuff for my Halloween costume... I'm feeling unmotivated to do that, though. Stupid overcast weather...

First name, Bob...

[tunes]: nothing currently, although I might go listen to Star Wars A Cappella (John Williams Is The Man) on YouTube after this.



So, this one is going to be a short update because I really out of it at the moment due to the fact that I couldn't fall asleep until 2am last night and I took a pain killer a few hours ago for the evil pain in my side that was threatening to return.

The main reason I'm updating today is because my cousin, Erin, had her baby today! I got the completely unexpected text from Ryan at the end of my psych class. She wasn't due until the end of the month! It was especially unexpected because I just saw her last night and she was completely normal. (Well, as normal as you can be when you're super pregnant.) Now, the baby is here, (a girl, named Emily,) and I can't wait to finally meet her!

As for why I saw Erin last night, I was invited out to dinner with her and Ryan and the kids and my aunt and uncle and cousin Mel. It was a lot of fun. I even got to see the kids Halloween costumes afterwards. So adorable! Sam finally got over his fear of dragons and is wearing the costume he was too afraid to wear last year. Maura is a Bumblebug, which is half Bumblebee and half Ladybug, just in case you didn't know. My Aunt Patti made them for the kids. It reminded me of when my mom used to make costumes for my brothers and me.

Okay. I'm going to stop now, because I could keep rambling for hours without making any sense in my current state. I'm already quite sure my flow of thought isn't easy to follow for anyone reading this. Hahaha. Sorry!
