Excitedness ( and ramblings from my life as of today) :)

Okay, so I've been up to a few things lately that I want to share with you. :)

1.) A few weeks ago I auditioned for CSU's Horton School of Music. :) I was extremely nervous, but I knew that whatever the outcome it would be for God's glory. The two songs I sang were: Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera, and Ave Maria by Bach and Gounod.
I recieved a letter from the Horton School of Music about a week and a half ago saying that I have been offered a scholarship to be in the Bel Canto choir. :D I have not received my official acceptance papers from CSU yet, but hopefully that will come soon...and then i can finally dance up and down. ;) Haha! I'm very excited, so we'll see where God leads.

2.) now that school is finishing up for my senior year, I have decided that it's high time I start working on my voice equipment I got for Christmas about 2 years ago. :P my parents have me a wonderful Snowball microphone by Blue, and a really cool Sonar studio recording system for my computer....and busy, procrastinator me has not used it seriously....until now. :) I have recorded two songs from Phantom of the Opera over the last few days, and posted them to my YouTube account! I'm actually *very* excited about this, and I hope to be able to record some more songs really soon. I've never had lessons before, but I've always loved singing, and I'm excited to be able to record some of my favorite songs. :) if ya'll have any suggestions for musicals or songs that you like, let me know! I'd love to cover them if I could.
here are the links to the two songs:

3.) My new blog, ....I'm really enjoying it right now. :) it's been fun putting up my character diaries so far, and though this has been a busy week, I'm hoping to put up the last one tomorrow. (late, I know....but time has just been slipping this last week. :P)

4.) I finally got the picture CD from our homeschool production of Pride and Prejudice!!! However, I'm on my iPod typing this post, so I can't post pictures at the moment... Otherwise, I'd post them all over! :) haha! So that'll have to be a separate post, and will probably go on my other blog, but I'll give you the link once it's up. :)

So yeah, thats kinda it for right now. :) let me know your thoughts on anything in this post. I love hearing from y'all. :)
