CONGRATULATIONS!

When I didn't get into Berklee, I honestly thought my whole life was over. I kept thinking, what the hell have I been doing for the past year or so? I was preparing for my college auditions, and becoming a musican, you know, straying away from that singer who doesn't know the music sterotype. When I didn't get into Berklee New England (which I was okay with), I realized that my only option was Roosevelt/CCPA. It would be an okay school for a year. A good environment. I could get good references so I could re-apply for '07.
Yesterday when my mom told me I got something from New School, I figured it was another brochure for some awesome performances they were doing, and then she handed me the envelope. As I held the, well, large envelope in my hand, I still didn't think that I could have gotten into New School. I really believed that this was my hardest school to get into and there was no chance. Haha, I really believed that I didn't get in even when I was holding this huge thing in the mail from New School.
So, I got in. And my mom and I laughed. We were in hysterics because of how shocking it was, and the giddiness/happiness of the situation did have an effect.
I can't really describe how great the feeling was, knowing that I didn't have to settle for mediocre and all the work I've done was worth it.

I sent in the acceptance info/check today in the mail. I'm going to the New School University for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City to study Jazz Vocals. My god, that makes me sound way more cooler than I actually am.
