Recentials and Such

Ok, so I know ya'll are dying to know what's been going on in my life for the past few weeks. Ok, so here is some news. I GOT A SCHOLARSHIP TO UAB!! I'M SOOOO EXCITED! They want me to be in three vocal performing ensembles, which probably means Concert Choir, Chamber Choir, and UAB Opera (but I won't know officially until final placement in August). So there's some good news!

Moving on! I recently started working at Lakeshore Foundation. Its a cool job. Don't worry! I'm still at Family Christian in Gardendale, so all of you who ask me about products and mooch off of my discount (lol...just kidding :) ) can still take advantage of it.

Here lately I've been stressed with school things. Last week it hit me that I now have roughly 2-3 weeks left at Jefferson State. Honors Convocation is next week and I've got to sing there with the choir AND I am receiving the Outstanding Jefferson State Singer Award. So next Thursday will be a big day for me. Finals are in about a week...that's depressing. On May 4 it will be all said and done. I'll be walking at graduation btw... May 4, evening, Cathedral of the Cross, Centerpoint. There, now you have officially been invited.

Well, I think I shall go for now. I'm going to the movies tonight with Amber, Rach, Micah, Jan, and Michael. We're going to see Disturbia. It sounds like a good scary movie. Later peeps!

Where's Waldo? (I mean Brian...)

WOW!! I had almost forgotten I had one of these things. Yeah right, except Dr. Copeland politely reminded me yesterday that I haven't blogged in forever. So, per his request, I am blogging again.

My life has been rather calm for the past little while. Aside from working alot and school and stuff at Mountaintop, I have been relatively stress free (not saying that anything at Mountaintop would make me stressed...I love that place and I love how God is working there and opening doors for me to serve there).

So yesterday, I auditioned for the UAB Department of Music. I auditioned with Danza, Danza Fanciulla Gentile and Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair. I was very pleased with my audition. I thought it went alot better than last time I auditioned for UAB two years ago.

So here's a bitter-sweet moment, I will be graduating from Jefferson State in a months time. It will be sad because I will be leaving a choir of which I've grown comfortable in, as well as friends I've made over the past two years. But it will also be a great moment because I will be receiving an Associates of Arts degree and I WILL BE AT UAB IN THE FALL!!! I am soooo psyched about that. I can't wait to be a part of UAB's amazing choir and music department. There, I will be working my way towards a Bachelors in Music Education Degree. Then I can teach! YAY!

Well, I think this shall do for now. I really should be studying for something...so I might. Lol...

Later peeps!
