Oh Catherine Zeta-Jones… I’m not THAT dreamy. Although I can apparently SING, which is something I am slowly learning to accept.
Today was awesome. I cantored at church, which meant a lot of me singing with a little choir action for a few songs. It was great! I got tons of compliments, including one older guy who asked if I was a voice major. “Nope, History!” Haha.
AND
Friday I decided to go and do a UNI choral placement hearing. Basically you go sing for the two choir professors and they tell you what choir they would like you to be in. Dr. Barrett is a big guy with a HUGE voice and seems pretty nice, goes to my church in fact, but I’ve heard he can be really intense. The other professor is Dr. Lamartine, and she is a saint. She already knows me by name and we’ve only met like twice! A pair of wings would sell her angelic nature to any nonbeliever, let me tell you. She is amazingly beautiful in every way, one of those people that walks into a room and suddenly you are really happy and have no idea why.
So anyways I do this audition thingy, thinking I’ll be asked to be in the UNI Singers, which is just the main UNI choir. Well as I’m singing “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” I see the ever-present smile on Dr. Lamartine’s face get bigger and bigger and by the time I’m done, both professors are asking me to be in their top choirs!!!!! The Chamber Singers and the Chorale group!!!! HOLY CRAP! So, assuming I can shift my classes for next semester around a little, I should be able to be in both, which would be awesome. What an honor! All my friends are super excited for me and I’m just feeling great.
Well I should get to bed soon; I promised my lovely friend Emmy that I would come eat breakfast at church in the morning. Yum! Free food! I love church!

Hey Jake! I found some colors for your scarf, but it’s not like “pure” forest green. I don’t know, I’ll have to try it as soon as I get my other one done to see if it’ll work out. I hope it does! Talk to you later!
