My very first class was Sight Singing and Ear Training. It was awful. It didn't really get better as time went on. Such is life. I passed all four semesters and that's what counts.
I joined the cast of Showboat to escape the confines of my room and my awful roommates. That started my Musical Theater career; it was the first and last time I would perform on stage. It was, however, my jumpstart into my most exciting career as Stage Manager. Woot.
Showboat also brought some interesting people into my life. And aren't I glad I have them. =)
After Christmas, school settled into a fairly easy routine. Class. Eat. Goof off. Repeat.
Man, has life changed since that year. I have since seen the inside of a cat. Be thankful there are no pictures. Gross.
I never thought I'd say it, but I'm really going to miss school this year. While I still have no diploma, and I'm technically still a student, no class for me! Instead, I have to move to the wilds of the mountains to do my internship. No classes, no caf, few familiar faces... Scary. =/
So, here's to the start of the next chapter of my life: Life After College
But first, a few parting thoughts to my dear Alma Mater...
To the "Living with Alligators" poster in Russell West: Thank you for the constant reminder not to pet alligators.
To Jimmy, the Caf Guy: Thank you for not making Philly Cheese Stakes everyday. I'd weight 1000 lbs.
To the weird looking Duck in the reflection pond: Just how long HAVE you been living there?
To my crazy Korean piano teacher: Let's face it- I'm never going to use those Chopin pieces in Music Therapy. My piano skills with classical music are not therapeutic in any way.
To the Security Guards: Don't quit your day jobs. Unless you're on the day staff. Then you may consider quitting.
To the Creepy Janitor with the Gerry Curl: Ew.
To Those People Who Say We Don't Have a Flooding Problem: Try visiting on a rainy day.
And to all my friends: Thanks for making my life all it is today. I couldn't have done it without you.
