(no subject)
A lot has happened in the past couple of months... all life-changing.
I officially don't know what I'm going to do next year, seeing how I didn't get accepted into any of the 3 graduate programs I applied to. Suprisingly though, I'm actually doing ok (after the first hour and a half of crying from shock). I've realized that there are many other options for me that I can explore. For example, I am beginning to look at music schools in Europe, and one in Quebec. I can also apply for a job at Pepperdine and work for a couple of years and get an MBA for free, or I can take a year off and practice to get ready for grad school auditions again. It's been pretty surreal though, but right now I'm just focusing on trying to graduate in 3 weeks.
In order to graduate, I need to pass out of my language requirement. I took the proficiency exam in Chinese this morning (which was also the third semester final). I can't really say for sure how well I did, but now all I can do is hope and pray that it is enough to just get the exemption.
My senior recital is two weeks from Saturday, and things are starting to get a little chaotic. My teacher is suggesting now that I take the Prokofiev (which I have been busting my ass to get learned and memorized) off my program and replace it with the Saint-Saens concerto, which I will be playing with the orchestra on the 19th. I was a little reluctant at first, but the more I think about it, it will help aleve some of the stress and allow me to coast through the end of the year in a sense. I'm going to work on the prokofiev over the weekend and let her know what I decide Sunday night.
That's pretty much it. I can finally take a breath and relax now that my pre-recital is over and my language test is done. I think I am going to celebrate by getting drunk on Saturday!!!! wooooooooooooooooooooooo
