So I talked to Ms. Scharmal Schrock herself (aka SSSSSSSS) today!!!  She sends her love to all...

We had a nice long convo about my recital, grad schools, and auditioning for the Met.  We talked for nearly 45 minutes.  It was great.

She said that if I could pull it off, she thinks I should audition for the Met this fall, because I would be in the

You're gonna be fine! Trust me. Do all those pieces: work on them all. You'll be surprised at how much you accomplish and how GREAT you'll feel afterwards. Don't fret about applying to a bunch of schools either. it's totlaly normal, but I WOULD advise looking at the apps now, even if they are last year's app's. That way you might have a general idea of what theya re looking for: get your "personal statements" and "resumes" and "community service/activites" paragraphs ready. That way all you have to do is cut and paste.

Don't fret about the long distance either: look at Sarah and Aaron, Jacquie and Aaron: lots of people make it work.

You're welcome to call or e-mail me anytime you want next year if you're fretting about GRE's, aps, auditions, whateva! Jacquie did it for me this year and it's TOTALLY wonderful t have someone to flip out to, cry to, de-stress to, etc when you're going through "the year of change." You're also welcome to stay with me WHEN you audition at IU, because I'm sure you will. Sorry for the book: I'm excited for you!

Thanks, chica. You will have to let me know if you are going to change your phone number or something, just in case. I will definitely be auditioning at IU, and I will probably try to make the audition for Michigan close to the time of the IU audition so I don't have to travel up there twice. My mom said she would pay for my auditions and go with me, so we shall see!

awesome! I'm jealous you got to chat with Ms. Schrock. How is she? I know she's been a busy bee this summer. I've been trying to let her be and all.

She's fine...she sends her love to all. She seems much happier there. I mean, she always was helpful and nice, but she seems more content. I enjoyed talking with her very much! I could only hope that I would get to talk with her more often, that is, if I get into IU.
