My First Blog

Ok well this is my first blog ever!!! how exciting!! i'm going to try and update weekly... but we'll see how consistant i actually am :) i'm usually a spaz about spelling and grammar, but not so much online, so forgive any mistakes. haha

my life right now is pretty good. last night was "Best of EFY" which is basically a one day EFY and they have it in a bunch of different states. it was pretty fun, although when i went last january it was a lot better. the speakers this time were a bit dry.. but i suppose thats to be expected from time to time. the john schmidt piano concert was incredible!! that man has talent! he played the piano UPSIDE DOWN. no kidding. its good stuff. and then the dance afterward was kind of lame, they had the lights on the entire time, and no one but my group of like 20 friends were dancing. and to make it worse, there was a slow dance about every 3 songs and no guys were asking girls to dance. they need some serious help i think. although i did dance with this one kid who was a super good dancer who did lots of twirls and that made it a lot of fun :) i've decided that my next endeavor in life is that i want to learn how to swing dance!

so this friday i have Musical Theater NATS (national association for teachers of singing..i think) haha. Its basically a competition where you sing 2 songs for a panel of judges who are also voice teachers and then they score you and there are winners for each age division. this is my first year doing this and i'm really excited. i'm singing "I Hate Men" from "Kiss Me Kate" and "The Song is You" from "Music in the Air". the most exciting part is that they have a workshop, and i don't know the name off the top of my head, but the man who is teaching it has played phantom on broadway for a couple years!! so that should be an amazing learning experience!

also, in 2 weekends from now i am taking my institute for driver's safety class. ONE MONTH AND 9 DAYS TILL I'M ON THE ROAD!!! :D

thats basically all thats going on in my life right now. i hope everyone is doing well!
