I didn't get an audition at University of Houston. It stings, and I can't say that I don't care, but it wasn't high on my list, and the truth is, the more I think about it, the more I'm considering taking another year before grad school. Maybe even more than that.
I feel like if grad schools all want me to have my technical issues worked out before I get there, what's the point of going to grad school? I guess I could have applied to some lesser-known, lower-tiered schools as well, but again, what's the point? The point for me isn't just to go to grad school--it's to go somewhere great for grad school, somewhere top-notch. Maybe I should change my tactics.
We'll see how the rest of the schools pan out. I'm not really holding my breath, especially not on Mannes and CCM, but schools can be funny like that. Part of me would like to move to New York and study with Bonnie Hamilton for a year and, you know, go to the theater and the Met and take whatever auditions I want because I won't have to get on a plane to do it.
Que sera, sera, my friends. If I don't get any auditions, I'm going to plan a trip home for a few days in January, and I'm going to audition for The Mikado. When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window. ;)
