Summertime

Ok, so now it feels like Summertime to me. School worries are over for now at least. Although I can't wait to go to UAB Orientation and register for classes there. I hope to take a class with Janna this Fall. That will be fun. Who knows, maybe we can do observations together (although that might not work out because she is an English major and I am a Music major...oh well). So I found out today that Mom is going to be able to get a good amount of $$ for college today. THAT EXCITES ME!!!

So yesterday I auditioned for Oklahoma! at the Gardendale Civic Center. My audition went very well and they are posting the cast list this Friday. I kinda would like to be the character Ali Hakim, the peddler. That would be just fun.

Well, aside from working, my summer has been very uneventful. But hopefully things will start happening...preferably good things.

Later peeps!

The End of Something

So today I took my last final exam at Jefferson State Community College. The only things I have left to do there is submit my MacGamut file for my Music Theory class and I have graduation rehearsal tomorrow and Friday is Graduation @ 5:30 @ Cathedral of the Cross...just in case any of you would like to attend. It is kinda a weird time in my life. I am graduating and leaving JeffState similarily as to when I graduated Jordan. Although I am looking foward to UAB and persuing my degree in Music Education and singing in their wonderful choirs, I am going to miss JeffState's choir and all my friends there. This is ultra hard for me because Rachel and I are parting ways. This will be the first time we haven't been in choir together. She is going to the University of South Alabama and I am going to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Mobile and Birmingham are a bit apart. I mean, we'll see each other over the summer and stuff (since she is not leaving till August), but this is very sad to me. It is kind of bitter-sweet for these things, the sweet thing being that I will get to re-connect with some of my high school friends, such as Janna and others. Jan and I hope to take some education classes together in the Fall.

Well, I am sitting here at Cambridge Coffee right now about to tear into some MacGamut since it is due by 10:00 tomorrow morning. I am going to meet up with Rachel in a little while for lunch and then we are going to observe the Simmons Middle School choir. Ms. Hall wants us to see how other directors take charge of their choirs and how they teach them. On Monday we went to Gardendale High School and observed their choir. Lets just say that we wished we could've been there for their advanced choir and not the other one. But there were some good things that came from our Gardendale visit. We learned a few good things that we'll carry down the road with us to implement in our choirs when we are choir directors.

Well, I know everyone was waiting anticipantly for me to post an update, so here you go. I hope to get some comments from everyone. Have a great day!
