Home is where you make it
I moved in at Marist today! I like my suite a lot and it's definitely good to be back. It feels like I never left. We had a pretty informal first meeting today for SGA and I just got back from the first Singers rehearsal. My home friends actually gave me an awesome send-off last night; they reminded me just why I'll miss home while I'm away. I love them all and wish them lots of luck.
I'm contemplating how this semester will go musically. Especially at tonight's rehearsal I realized I'd be more comfortable singing Tenor 2. My conductor said he saw that coming by the end of last year. I think the combination of really overusing my high notes in high school, and then singing only twice a week and not doing a musical last year has compromised some of my upper range. I've also been out of voice lessons since high school. I'm hesitant to try out for Chamber Singers this year; I feel like my voice is too worn out, besides being busy enough as it is. I think I want to add voice lessons as a 3-credit class this semester. Hopefully it will help me re-build my range and be a stronger singer again soon. I have to try. In high school I made it all the way to All-State and All-Eastern, and I don't want to just give up on it.
Tonight is the first "social activity" of Singers camp and it's a PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT! Even better, I am leading a group with Christi! We're pumped. You should be too.
