More college stuff

Just one new update, I got into Mount Holyoke. It's one of my top choice schools, so I'm really happy about that. Now i'm just waiting on 5 more!

On a random note, I've been feeling oddly happy for the last few days. It's really weird because I never really feel happy for a sustained period. Do you know what I mean? I'm not seriously depressed, but i'm just normal, indifferent, most of the time. Sometimes I get happy and sometimes I get sad. I've been just happy. It might have something to do with getting into Mount Holyoke, being on schedule in AP art, doing well in AP Physics, having a big design element in the Music Man, and having a potential female date to prom. =] I like this feeling.

Accepted!

I got my first college acceptance today!

Clark University! It was my safety, and I expected to get in, but i'm still really excited. I also got a really nice scholarship to go with it- $15,000 per year. ^.^

I'm excited also because Clark had said on its website that we would hear "by April 1st." All my other schools also say that. If I got this one this early, are the more letters floating around in the near future for me?

Same old

Vacation is coming to an end, and I can say i've done a lot of nothing. And for once, that's totally ok with me. I did lots of artwork, did all my homework, and watched a lot of olympics. And I'm very content. Not to say i'm complacent to stay in this lifestyle forever. I'm thoroughly looking forward to having a schedule, and things to do and see, starting back with school on Monday. I'm excited for the True Colors conference, and for hearing back from schools with (hopefully) good news in the next month. Set crew also starts soon, I believe. It'll be fun.

Sing me a lullaby, a love song, a requiem.

In my choir, FCCC, we're singing this song called "Sing Me to Heaven." It's so beautiful, but I only just now got the meaning of the lyrics. Here's the song "Sing Me to Heaven" and the Lyrics. Like the stages of life through song; comfort me, a lullaby; love me, a love song; sing me to heaven, a requiem.

I love choir music, I really do. Singing is honestly my favorite thing to do. I love being able to express myself though music, and getting really involved in a piece. I don't like solos though, it's just too nerve-wracking. When I want to sing, I want to be loving it, not worried i'm a little off or not. Being in a choir gives me that freedom while still making me work hard to hone my voice. I don't think i'll ever find a choir program just like the FCCC. Now that I think about it, i've given literally half my life to the choir, and i've adored every moment of it. There were perhaps one or two times over the 8 years when I didn't enjoy being at rehearsal. We are given so many amazing opportunities, the whole program is just so beautiful. I'm going to miss my choir so much in college.
