Well I did my best at the concerto competition, and though I didn't win (singers never do) the Maestro of the orchestra came up to me and told me how much he appreciated the singing I've been doing lately so that felt pretty good. He's not a man to give compliments lightly.
So then it was getting ready for summer program auditions which is like summer camp all over again but for older people. I'm applying to programs in Aspen, Brevard NC and Chautauqua NY and we will just seeeee
But, before the school year was out, my voice teacher and her husband (chair of the voice dept.) held their annual christmas party for all their students full of cheer and singing.
Clearly I've been home since I've seen nearly everyone I'm related to over this break. Thanksgiving and Christmas were good though time went sort of disturbingly fast, and I'm due back to Wisconsin in a few days. but here are some pictures from my adventures at home. I was home for six weeks and took like..6 pictures
and here's some of my friends
and so finally I guess I'll chat about what my plans are for next year because people are asking. This is a vague answer but that'll be fine. All I know now is that I'm moving to chicago...hopefully finding a job in a montessori school for a year before applying to grad schools. And so i leave you with a picture of me in chicago freshman year. it's very circular.
