University of Cincinnati: College-Conservatory of Music 16/670+ not me
So friday around 1:00, after a bad day at school...my father and I left for Cincinnati!
We technically didn't even leave pittsburgh until around 2:30 because we had to go downtown and to the bank and to Giant Eagle and such to work a few things out. But anyhow...I used my time with my father to introduce him to my iPod, so i basically gave him the run-down of how everything on it works, and to my surprise he was actually kinda interested. I was really tired on the ride, so I tried sleeping but didn't get much sleep because everyone knows how horrible it is to sleep in a car...so we got there around 7:30 and went out to dinner and then I made it a statement that I had to be IN BED by 10. And I was.
The Next morning...
I woke up around 6:45, and did my hair and got dressed and then we left for CCM about 7:25 and the meeting started at 7:45. I was pumped. So we had our little meeting then the dance call started at 8:30, and from 8:30 to 10:00 I was dancing...and I have to say it was really nice because it really woke me up and pumped me for the rest of my day. At noon I had a stupid music theory test, which if was the final factor on letting me in, I wouldn't get in because I did so horrid.
So that was over around 12:45...and I had more down time til about 2:00...AND THEN...
The Audition:
Overall, I was really honestly pleased with myself. That's alot for me to say because I'm really hard on myself when it comes to auditions and such, and for once I can actually say that I thought I nailed the audition. I didn't mess up on any words, didn't screw up timing, didn't squeak on any notes, and I walked in and gained a sense of confidence (which I never have).
So, even though I thought I did awesome...the fact is it is the single harded school to get into in the country for musical theatre. Last year they had a quota to fill of 25 students at most, and they only decided they needed 16. Oh yeah, and last year around 670 students auditioned. Like I said, I like to think positive, but I know I'm not amazing and I would need a true miracle to get in.
Enough about that...the drive home was nice for a while, I slept for 4 hours..then I had to help keep my dad awake (he was getting tired from driving and the roads were getting worse...so I was kinda nervous). We got home at around 8 and I watched the first half of Lost in translation and ended up in bed by 11:30!
Sunday: For the first time in a week I got to sleep in, so i woke up about 10:30 and watched Lost in Translation again and finished it...then I had my last performance of grease today at 2:00. It was really sad I have to say, because for the past 4 weeks I saw these 19 people nearly every single day and night. I became really good friends with Johnny Angel (of the Halo's), and Jon Burnett (the weatherman)...and I have to say I'm gonna miss them most because they were really supportive of me when I had my audition yesterday, and seemed concerned and it was nice to have them take an interest in me.
After Grease my mother, father, Officer Bob, and I went over my voice teacher Maria's for the steeler game...we made it fun, but well ehm...'nough said.
And now I'm sitting here not knowing whether I should do my calculus homework now, or tomorrow. Tomorrow my sis is comin' home from New York, so I am getting out early to and pick her up which is kind of exciting.
PS: Cincinnati said NO LONGER than 4 weeks until I know if I have been accepted...that's like...TOMORROW (sort of).
