oiseaux si tous les ans (in my head)
so, at 2:10pm i will be starting my second audition and it will be at western. this is the one that really counts for me because i would really love to go to western. that was the top of my list almost 5 years ago. i abandoned the idea (for some reason unbeknownst to me now) but now it’s the best choice for me. i’d really like to go to a performing arts school, but that stuff is way too complicated and possibly a little too specific for my taste at the moment. if i find that i want/need that training later, i can always acquire it. with what money, i don’t know, but somehow.
after yesterday’s disaster, i’m hoping that today’s audition will go smoothly and calmly. honestly, i know it will. i’ve prepared a lot more (except for that damn lied) and now i can do all of my songs by memory at around 85% confidence. and i just remembered that i have a cd with the german lied on it, so it makes it easier for me to practice it in the car on the way to london.
now it’s time for sleep. less than twelve hours from now. this is going to be fun, and i genuinely mean that. no pressure because it only leads to bad.

that was one of the best auditions i’ve had. i screwed up the words, but that was it. i didn’t run out of breath and i wasn’t nervous at all. it would be such a kick in the crotch if they didn’t recommend me now. i really, really, really hope i get into western. but i did have fun with it and it went 500 times better than the laurier one. now i just have to wait. i’ll cry if i don’t get in. i really will.
Good luck, Whitney! When do you find out the good news?
in a couple of weeks i’ll find out if the faculty recommends me to the university itself. if that happens, i’m more than likely in. they said only in extreme cases do people not get in when the faculty accepts them. then it’s a couple of weeks after that for the university to say if i’m in or not. by mid or late may i should know. the way they talked about it to me though, it seemed more like i was getting in than not, unlike the laurier one, where they actually said good luck to me as i was leaving. i was like, oh gee thanks.
