it's so surreal, especially after last year with such a tight-knit group. i think what this year might lack in social cohesion might be made up for (at least for me) by having the like...sophomore experience - more solos, more recognition. last night after the big meeting (which was almost IDENTICAL to last year...only shorter, and my fun fact was about annie/tomorrow - "if i hear the song tomorrow one more time i think my ears might start bleeding" *everyone sings tomorrow*) i went up to our new gcII director, mr. wheaton, and told him i'd be late for stuff because of class blah blah, and he was like, "mrs. westgate RAVED about you." like...?????? i was TOTALLY under the impression that she didn't think much of me or my voice, which i was fine with. but mr. wheaton seems to think well of me too, which is really really great. i'm so proud of everyone in gold company, but i'm SO glad i'm in gcII. i can shine at something that isn't really my focus.
and then i realized how much of a committment it all is, and dropped 8am conducting. SWEEEEEEEEET.
i'm so excited for this year, as nervous as i am about everything with chorale. i know it'll get better and i'll prove that i deserve to be there, but it's so hard at the beginning. the excitement about being in it has sort of worn off and now it's like, shit. i have to sing my ass off. but - it's great to be in a good choir again. i had FORGOTTEN how much i love choir, and now i'm being reminded every day at 11am.
yee. more later. time for shots/bronco bash...?
