An Important Announcement!
So. Today I was going to write a post about the Kony 2012 Movement and my thoughts about it. It was a gooder. I spent all morning doing research and checking facts. It was the kind of post that would have definitely made some people disagree with me, and others think. But then something happened, and I'm going to tell you about that instead.
I spent all morning lying down in my jammies. I watched I Love Lucy. I croaked to my mom on the phone. I snuggled under quilts. I ate half a container of sherbet. Y'know, the usual sick day. Then I decided to go check the mail.
And in the mailbox was a letter addressed to me.
From the University.
The Fine Arts Department of the University.
Here's a secret that I have not shared with many people. This past Saturday, I auditioned for the music program. For voice. It one of the biggest, hardest, and scariest things that I have ever done. It didn't go the way I had wanted, and I left feeling disappointed in myself. Almost immediately after I started making plans for what I would do if I didn't get in. Because I knew for sure there was no way I could after I had botched those songs so badly.
I stood in my living room holding the letter. Before my brain could tell them to stop, my fingers tore at the top of the envelope. I unfolded the papers and read:
"Dear Chantelle,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Studio 2148 for the 2012 Fall Semester"
You guys....
I GOT INTO MUSIC!
