Concordia interview tomorrow
It's been a helluva week. I finished my thesis, got back to Minneapolis, took a day to not move so I could get over my cold, turned in crucial paperwork so I can graduate, did lots of work in the yard. That all makes me feel good.
So does being wanted by Concordia. It would be a dream job -- small, private, religious liberal arts undergraduate institution with a well-respected music program in a decent city.
I'm really worried about my audition tomorrow. Just the brief rehearsal with the pianist tonight, and I feel like my voice is trashed. I don't have the breath support back after the cold. And with the weight I've been putting on (which makes me feel gross), the reflux is almost constant. Nerves aren't helping right now.
I don't want to lose this job because my voice isn't fully back yet.
I'm worried about coming across as "uptight." It's what I do when I'm in a new situation -- I observe until I know I'm safe, then I'll loosen up. Again, I don't want a misperception to damage my chances.
I'm also worrying about being away for another year. This is closer to home than my last interim gig, but it will still require being "on my own" again. I am worried I'll get all sad again, like I did the last time.
I know a lot of this is situational anxiety, so hopefully by getting it out here, it won't affect my interview/audition tomorrow. Wish me luck.
