Three Weeks In

Three weeks. 20%. one fifth. Not there yet. 

I am three weeks into my third year of this adventure! It's going really well so far despite all the stress. I have been given so many opportunities in just the first three weeks and it feels great! I just finished singing with the choir for the new university president's inauguration and it was so good for me to be able to perform with them this early on!
This week I also had the opportunity to sing for the "Homecoming Gala" held in the library on Wednesday night. The purpose of the gala was to showcase some of the talent in the CPVA college. There were selections from musical theater, instrumental music, and still arts. The part I performed with was a small selection of music students chosen to perform Opera pieces. This gave me the wonderful privilege to perform once again O mio babbino caro by Puccini. The rehearsals were confusing and a hassle to schedule, but the gala really was a wonderful experience. 

I am really loving not having to directly deal with the drama that I overcame last year, but I still receive updates on people who were causing such situations and it just makes me laugh to know that I have grown so much from where I was!! 
My schedule is ridiculously crazy and somewhat exciting, but I am focusing on my schoolwork and I am loving it here! Although I am focusing so hard I still find time to have fun, for example, tonight is the Forever Red Celebration for Homecoming and I am excited to go celebrate this wonderful school's history and spend time with some wonderful friends! 
So, until next time, have a very happy day!

Oh Happy Day!!
