I vaguely want to die. Not really, but seriously, I didn't get into non-major voice at all. I mean, I know I'm not great, but Geez, I'm not THAT bad. I'm so upset. I'm so fucking spastic when it comes to auditions. I heard my roommate sing who got into beginning class voice, and she's decent, but she's certainly not any better than I am.

I think. Everyone is really nice, my roommate is great, Jones is wonderful, I like my freshman advisor, and I can't wait for classes to start ( Read more... )

I'm moving in! Eeeeep I'm so excited ( Read more... )

I know I'm beyond ready to go to college, but all the sudden I'm nervous for the first time about leaving. I'm not afraid of where I'm going. I know I'll make friends and do well academically and all that jazz. But I'm afraid to leave all this behind.

This has just struck in the past couple of hours, probably because this is the latest I've been up ( Read more... )
