Note to self: No more sugar before bed
Last night I had a dream I was "trimming" my cat's hair and i accidently cut off its leg and face. Then I started laughing. I'm sooo cruel. But it's true, I hate my cat.
So today was INSANE!! Me and my dad went to Boston so I could audition for Ithaca at the 'First and Second Church in Boston'. The church is on the same street as Ashley Georgie's dorm, I THINK. I was excited! Anyway... We went early to see if I could audition earlier than my time at 4:40. We didn't want to be stuck in a blizzard on the way home. I told my dad to go outside and if he sees anyone coming with an instrument, grab their instrument and run. or.. break their legs. Luckily... we didn't have to be that drastic. someone didn't show up so I went at like 230ish. I did good on my major scales and surprisingly good on my minors. he only asked me 2 of each, which was good. Then I get to the chromatic scale and I'm thinking "YES IM NASTY AT THIS!".... yup, totally fucked it up. I had a major brain fart. I even attempted to do it a second time and I stil couldn't remember the fingerings to the higher notes. Of course the chromatic scale was the only thing I originally wasn't worried about.... Oh well, shit happens. I think I did good on my piece. I squeaked a couple of times but it's cuz I was nervous. I think I did good on my sightreading too. Sight singing was a different story... I did SOO BAD. I couldn't even match pitches. Oh well... this school is tough and I'm 95% sure I didn't make it. I don't think I'm on there level yet.
By the way... the guy that did the auditions was wicked nice. He made me want to go to Ithaca so I could see him every day.
I'm regretting not applying to UMASS- Amherst. I want to be in their crazy marching band with George Parks. I kinda miss the guy
Today in Boston I had the worst cappechino EVER from starbucks and a ceaser salad wrap that tasted exactly like vomit. I was sad
so BEST STORY EVER - me and my dad got off on the wrong train station on the way home. And this totally sketchy guy gave us a ride to the other station. I thought I was going to DIE. He could've been an axe murderer. but now I look back and laugh. ha ha ha. I get my lack of common sense from my dad.
When I got home and told my mom I thought she was gonna be pissed, but she was like pissing her pants from laughter. good times..
I worry way too much when it's snowy. I worry about friends/family not being home safe. I'm going to be one of those moms that give my kids an 8:00 curfew.
I'm tired.... time to RELAX because I have nothing to stress over, until February 12... AHHHHHHHHHH MORE AUDITIONS
