although the colors of an Idaho fall are nothing compared to that in New York, i did manage to wander off the beaten path and find some color after all.

The Beginning of life at BYU-I

I have just finished moving into my apartment where, myself and 5 other girls will try to sanely live until december. i have 5 beautiful and amazing room mates... Chelsea Smaellie, Brittany and Emily Blankinship,   Lora Johnson, and Diana Sanchez. I am majoring in Music Education with a focus on voice. In order to be considered i had to audition for ensembles. i wanted to get into an advanced music theory/ voice class called Music 155. we were told that there were told between four and eight freshman would achieve the honor of being accepted into the class, and i was one of 56 to audition. so chances of me getting to that are looking pretty slim right now. however, I also decided to audition for Women's Choir and the University Band... because i was lucky enough to bring my trombone. friday morning with a small head cold that plugged my nose, and made my throat feel scratchy. :( i was scared silly that this cold would effect my auditions performance. i spent the day practicing my audition songs and such for about 5 hours... then went home, took some cold medicine, and went to sleep. i woke up saturday feeling better with nothing but a stuffy nose. i  rocked all three auditions, blowing the professors minds with my "advanced" solfege abilities. i suppose thats what you get when you have amazing music teachers :) i find out monday as to weather or not i made it into my ensembles, however, i will not find out about my music 155 class until tuesday. i am still terrified that i will not get it. but obviously those who do get in are probably those most talented and deserving. i'm just hoping i'm one of them. i start classes to-morrow. there are so many excited/anxious/nervous feelings inside of me i'm not really sure what i'm feeling at the moment. i know more than anything i'm just glad to be getting back into the schedule of music everything 24/7. I am still suffering from jet lag... and i've only experienced a two hour time difference. i feel like the lamest college student ever because i am in bed passed out by 10pm... and i'm up and ready to go by 8am... which is really like going to bed at midnight and waking up at 10am back home. but classes start to-morrow... and i have a packed day.. so i shall be once again a lame college student and sign off at 10pm... :)
