What? Tests? School?

You would think that it would be a total buzz kill to think about how I'm going to have to do work and study and such, but it honestly get me really excited.
Today we had orientation for the jazz school. Which meant we had to sit around in the morning while different people came up & lectured to us how to not fuck up & how this was going to be great & they were proud of us for being there. Honestly it was pretty cool b/c I was in a room w/ people who were as stoked to be here as I was. Then in the afternoon, we took these tests & I suuuuuucked. The first one was a rhythm notation thing & I kept on second guessing myself aka I didn't do well. Then we had a listening test, and yea, I kinda did the same thing again, the second guessing thing. Actually, I kinda didn't do well.
Anyway, there was a written test next, and I did...ehh, alright. haha, not great by any counts, but I was surprised at how much I could do.
I know that it doesn't matter, but I wish that I could move to another level of something. It would be so nice for that year of bull shit theory to come in handy & even sweeter for me to get ahead for the proficiency thing. I'm not going to, but I figure I won't be alone in the basic class, so its all good.
Tomorrow we have more ear training tests & a piano test & then we have to sing for each other. eh. I wish I was looking forward to that.
I found another girl to hang out with :)
She's a jazz vocalist & seems mad cool. We walked around the village & got pizza & talked about things that we've both been feeling (like about people & studying jazz in nyc & just about roommates & not getting into our top choice, but realizing that this is better). Then we came back to 13th street down & hung out w/ the guys on the 6th floor.
I kinda feel like I'm at summer camp tho.
