Well, I got some bad news yesterday. About a month ago, I auditioned for the conservatory that is attached to my college (they have a double-degree program that allows you to major in both the college and the conservatory), and yesterday I received their decision: No.
I kind of expected it, because I knew that my voice wasn't as strong as the other sopranos who auditioned, but of course I had my cry and the typical bummed-out feeling.
And now the question arises: Since I'm not going to be a singing author or a singing archaeologist or a singing teacher or a singing who-knows-what major, now I have to figure out what else to do. Of course, thinking about it, there are so many more doors that can be opened now. As a double-degree student, there's no time left in the day to take just-for-fun classes. I can take that physics-for-non-majors' course now, AND take German 102.
So in conclusion, to all those who have been rejected from their first-choice schools, I know. I know it feels terrible. But there's always something somewhere else that you REALLY want to do.
And to get over the hurt faster: find something you REALLY want to do and do it. And don't think about what you're doing the rest of your life. That'll come when you're ready.
Cheers!
