Well, I had my Tanglewood audition yesterday, and it SUCKED. I hit the most horrendous traffic EVER coming into the city, and it took me over three hours to make a drive that usually takes 40 minutes. I was the last person of the day and the audition pannel seriously almost LEFT because I was twenty minutes late. (For those of you who don't know

Anyways re. the audition. I wouldn't worry about it too much. There are always more auditions for in the future. Being a musician is such a hard thing sometimes. I know that when I get frustrated and tense, it often affects my ability to write and clearly think when I am composing. Imagine what it does to your body as a singer.
But yeah, I think the things that you are doing are amazing. Going to Peabody, all that great stuff. Think about all the great things that you have done when you are feeling down about auditions and whatnot. I know it doesn't seem helpful, but it does inspire me when I have bad moments...because it makes the good ones even better:).

yeah, I kind of let it go. I mean, what could I do? There was traffic, I was too tense. Oh well. It sucks that that had to happen on an audition that meant a lot to me, but, like I said, nothing I could do. My Britten-Pears audition was MUCH better. I auditioned for their "New Music, New Media" program for May of 2008, so keep your fingers crossed that I'll be in the UK this May!
I feel like no matter how much good stuff I do, its never enough. I mean, I'm definitely happy with what I've done and what I'm doing, but I'm always looked to the next step, the next project, etc. I guess that's a good motivating factor. Maybe I just want to show those jerks at my undergrad that they missed out on a good thing. But whatever it is, I gotta just keep pushing forward!
