Yay for the holidays! This morning, I had my choir final(: All it was, was a short 15 minute interview with Dr. Bishop-my choir director! Let me just say-I used to be really intimidated by him, but I have truly grown to love and appreciate him so much-and just in the last couple weeks. He is an amazing person! The interview was to discuss my grade (A+ (:) and talk about my experience in choir thus far, which has been awesome! Also, we talked about my recent goals of BYU and such. And......well-not just from the discussion today, but I have been thinking a lot lately about that. At this point in my life, I can't see BYU happening. Not next year anyway. For one thing, I don't think I have the grades this semester to get in. I didn't fail anything but I know I got at least one C in a class. That lowers my chances of getting into BYU. Second of all, I'm not sure I have prepared enough, or can prepare enough any more to audition for the music program. Dr. Bishop nicely put that after Jury yesterday(my vocal final), I am not prepared enough for it. So, as this break begins, I have a few things to think and pray about. I'm starting to think that, yes I have worked hard this semester, but I may end up deciding to just drop the application process and not go and do my audition. I have really learned a lot from this semester and know some things I need to improve and change next semester. Dr. Bishop-again, he is awesome!-gave me some really good advice. He knows a lot of what I'm going through and understands really well. I'm so glad that he cares about his students and really does love us! I've definantly warmed up to him a lot! Along with that decision, I need to start thinking about a major. Yes-I am having second thoughts about being a music major. 
I have been thinking a lot about other options the last few weeks. I just feel like I need to look at some other things. I will always have music in my life if I don't major in it. Or maybe I'll get an associates or minor it. I don't know yet! A friend of mine talked about it last night actually and he told me that it really is ok to go down different paths before choosing the right one. I guess I couldn't get that through my head before! So, looks like I have some decisions to make! All part of life right? I appreciate all those who have given me advice thus far, my friends, my mom, my family, and my new friend Dr. Bishop(:! Anywho, I'm excited for Christmas and my time I get to spend at home-with the snow! And hopefully I will be able to start putting pictures on here! Hope all is going well with the rest of you! Have a great rest of the week!
