I've spent the last three weeks of my life in a hazy cloud of bliss. I wake up at 7 every morning, hop on the bus, and spend the hours of my day surrounded by music and people who love music. I walk through the halls and hear jazz trios rehearsing in one room and a bass guitarist practicing riffs in another. I spend my mornings learning about the history of Medieval plainchant melodies and my afternoons singing Williams' Mass in G Minor. I LOVE MY LIFE!
School is amazing (In case you didn't get that from the "hazy cloud of bliss" comment). It is definitely a lot of work, and I'm finding myself having the occasional moment of confusion and frustration (it is still school, after all), but for the most part, I am learning a lot and really enjoying myself! I got into the Capilano University Singers choir and have rehearsals three times a week! It's a great group and we're doing some really awesome, challenging material. My classes are SO interesting and I'm meeting some really cool people!
So, everything is going great! Mark's birthday is on Saturday so we're going to do something fun over weekend. I'm making dinner for him, Kristine, Nate and I tomorrow night and then we're probably going to go dancing on Saturday. I'm looking forward to the weekend and to pampering Mark a little bit. He works so hard and he deserves a few days to let loose. It should be fun!
I'm staying home from school today because I'm feeling really sick. I've had a sore throat and painful cough for a few days now. And, since I only have one class today, I thought it would be a good day to stay home and get some rest. I'm also going to get caught up on some homework and laundry.
Life is so good. It feels wonderful to feel like I'm finally where I belong.

A fresh, new start.
Today is September 1st. The first day of the first month of the start of my music career.
Yay! :)
I can't even begin to describe how excited I am. I just cannot wait to get started! I almost feel like I've been waiting to do this for the last 8 years and now I'm just making up for lost time. I feel like I've finally arrived.
So, I work one more day this week and then Mark, Nate, Kristine and I are going camping for 4 days at Harrison Lake. I'm excited for one last weekend of crazy, drunken, debauchery before I buckle down and become a straight-A student. I had my audition for the Cap University Singers last Tuesday and it went very well. I'm really hoping I get in! It will be a lot of work if I do, but it will also be amazing for my career and a really awesome opportunity. I will also still be singing with the church choir at CMUC, so it's going to be a busy semester. Work is starting to really pick up, and I think that I'll be okay to just work two days a week, Saturday all day and Tuesday nights, with the occasional Sunday night shift. I've also started going to yoga regularly at a studio in Lynn Valley, and have been enjoying my classes there immensely. I'm planning on buying a pass so that I can go a few times a week once I'm in school.
So, there ya have it! Life is so good right now! School has almost begun, work is lucrative, the weather is gorgeous, my boyfriend loves me, I love me, and everything is coming up roses. Seriously, I don't think I've ever been so happy and excited in my entire life! Life is grand :)
I will find out about the choir on the 13th. Until then, I'm going to focus on having a TON of fun this Labour Day long weekend, and then buckle down for the start of the semester.
I'm hungry, time for dinner!
