A question, and big news and little news
How possible do think it would be for me to do musical theatre?
I keep getting lured into it by Dwight and the internet lol..
I'm taking voice lessons no matter what next semester.
And can I just say that I've always wanted to be able to sing the Plavalaguna songs from The Fifth Element lol.. one day, maybe I will lol ;)
BIG News First I Guess:
So, I've officially been accepted to UNC. And with mixed emotions big and small, I've decided to transfer there. I'm excited, scared, nervous, but finally sure. And I'm going to cry, I already know that lol. Tonight was the last time I'll perform in the Scott Concert Hall as a Brevard student *sniff* And god knows I'm going to miss all my friends, the mountains, Steve Wilson, Mel Bringle, Paul Elwood, Kay Hoke, Susan Nicholson, Robert Dye (even though I only see him in passing, he seems like one of the coolest profs on campus), our creek, FUJIS!!! (OMFG kittens, when I come and visit, you KNOW we're hitting up Fujis. that's one of our spots!). It'll be such a change, and I know I'll have a hard time making friends. But I think the step outside of the box and my comfort zone will do me good.
Plus, I'll be able to take Chinese, orchestra, folklore, and many more things. And... well, we'll see about whether or not I double major or choose a minor or what. But yeah, it'll be a huge change.
Life has been less stressful in that sense--I decided to transfer for sure last week around Tuesday, but I've had lots of philosophy homework.. paper after paper. Although the one I'm working on now, due tomorrow at midnight, could be the sparks of a later dissertation if I do decide to connect music and philosophy and find a way to teach it.
Chris is still wonderful. It's been a little over a year now that we've been dating. Crazy how time passes, although being in a long distance relationship, it really doesn't seem like a year--but we do have it pretty good aside from that. We've grown a lot I think, and I've been able to speak my mind and learn and grow quite a bit with his help. I think it's a benefit that he's 3 years older than me because I can learn from him :) And I'm BEYOND exicted for China--it hasn't hit me yet that I'll be on the other side of the planet in about a month lol!! It'll be an amazing trip, and it will be a great experience for our relationship.
The oboe has been interesting of late as well. I still am not in love with it anymore, but randomly a few weeks ago I spent 3 hours on Amazon.com listening to music. I've discovered that I like contemporary oboe music that resembles the post-romantic/impressionistic composers. Heh--that would've meant nothing to me two years ago. (GOD I feel old... in half a year, I'll no longer be a teen.. wow). But yeah, and I really do enjoy playing it sometimes. So we'll see where that goes too.
I have a lot of potential. I'm very talented, and my energy is spread out over so many things. I can only imagine what it would be like if I focused it in onto one thing... Of course, I could never do that ;) Hah. Well, more musical theatre digging, paper, shower, bed.
LOVE.
