So, I am disappointed to say that I didn't make it through the first round of auditions for "The Voice". I kind of figured that would happen anyway, so it wasn't that big of a let down for me. "American Idol" is having their auditions this week, and I had thought about going to audition, but I don't think I will. For one, I've never watched "American Idol". Don't want to, and don't really plan to, so it would be kind of weird for me to go audition for a show I don't even watch. My main reason though is that they have posted several times in their rules and eligibility forms that not everyone who registers will get to audition on the audition day, so I'm worried that I will have spent $20 for parking at the Reliant Center and wasted an entire day sitting around, waiting for my chance to audition... and then be told that they don't have time to see me. And, also, there's school. I would be really far behind in school if I made it on the show (which, it would take a miracle of God for me to get on that show, let alone any other singing TV show) but if that miracle of God DID happen, I would be missing so much school in order to be there to tape the shows and everything. So yeah, I don't think I'm going to go for that. It's not really worth my time. Still not sure if I'm going to do it or not, but I'm leaning more toward not.
Anyway, school starts next Monday! I, personally, am very excited; new music building, new student center, new classes, new books, some new clothes (some, not a lot, but enough to make a girl feel a little more confident in herself... especially when it comes to attracting the the fellas ;-) hahaha!) I got my 6 books that I will need for this semester (yeah, 6, can you believe that?! 3 for English, 2 for math and 1 for ballet. Crazy.) And I decided today that I would register for a seventh class (I was just taking 6; Math, English, Ballet, Music Lit, Chamber Singers and voice lessons) but upon the encouragement of a school friend and my mom, I decided to register for Dance Performance, where I'll be able to participate in being part of dance routines and then putting on a performance toward the end of the semester for the public. I have to say, I'm nervous and excited. Dance has just recently become a new passion of mine, but I've never really performed a dance in front of people (and no, showchoir with Joyful Sound doesn't really count) so I don't really know what to expect from myself or from the class, but I know that I need to take this class. If I'm going to major in Musical Theater, I need to be able to perform dance in front of an audience and feel comfortable doing it.
I'm really looking forward to this new semester. It's amazing how much a person can change in just the span of one year. I've changed so much since last year, and I've experienced a lot too, more than I ever thought I would experience. And when we moved back to Texas after living in Michigan for 6 years, I never could have predicted that any of the things that I've done and experienced would happen to me. For example, if I hadn't moved to Texas, there's a good chance I never would have been given the chance to get to be in musicals and to discover that I have a gift at acting. I've also made so many good, close friends here, people who I now believe that I could never live without, and I wonder what my life would be like now if we hadn't moved back to Texas back in 2006. What if we had stayed in Michigan? Who would I be? Would I be the same person I am today? I think it's safe to say, no, I wouldn't be. For instance, I could be dead. When we moved down to Texas, it was only a year later that I was put into treatment for anorexia, but then when I got out of Cadwalder after 81 days, my mom told me about auditions for a pirate musical called "The Swarthy Seadog", and as they say, the rest is history.
Well, I guess I'll end it here for tonight. I'm hoping to finish this blog soon and begin working on the other blog a little more so I can start posting in it ASAP. Until next time, ciao!
