So first, my dad calls me and tells me that I'm probably getting into UMich anyway, even though they appeared to have waitlisted me. Guess the oboe teacher really liked my audition.

Then my mom gets home and tells me I have a summer job lined up at her hospital for 6-8 weeks, 6 hours a day (probably 8am-2pm), about $7 an hour. Minus expenses, that still gets me over $1000.

THEN I get a letter that says I won a $500 scholarship from the Music Teachers Council of Westchester. Danny Gray got a $150 "encouragement" award, so congratulate him too if you see him. Oh, and I get to play a recital on May 10 at the White Plains Library. 7pm. Be there or...you're a bad person.

*sigh* I love days like this.

Oh man, what a great day. Biked up to Becca's house around noon to make the Freud video for Mont, then becca, jake and I planned it (read: ate lunch at Good Taste and bought props) for the next...three hours or so. Then we started shooting.

We decided to do the video on Freudian dream interpretation, so I was Freud (accent and all!) Jake and Becca were my clients, and whoever wasn't in the video was shooting. And Melissa Skidelsky helped us out a lot when we needed someone extra.

And I saw one of the scariest sights of my life when we dressed up Jake in a skirt, spaghetti-strap top, stuffed him with balloons, and made him do a pole dance. In the video. My eyes still hurt.

If you want to see the video (and you know you do) it'll be playing in Mr. Monteleone's room, room 216, either period 1/2, 3/4 or 14/15 sometime soon. I'll post the day when I know.

I visited Katie today and we watched the wrestlemania tape! And it was so good! And the Undertaker is the FUCKING MAN!

And then we played poker, and then I spun her around a lot and then I went home. A good day.

And I just had seafood paella for dinner and it was amazing. The first day of spring rocks. A lot.

I love Slashdot.

Also: I like my women like I like my tea...strong and dark.

Okay, maybe not.

Two scholarship auditions down, three to go. Had the Yonkers Philharmonic at 12:30 today (found out the results just now: didn't get into the next round, oh well), and had the Hudson Valley Music Club audition at 'bout 4:00, which went really awesomely! I was in there for 25 minutes instead of the scheduled 10, and they asked me what movements of the pieces I brought I could play for a 20-minute program (the prize for the competition is money and a performance with the Music Club), and they asked me to play other stuff after I played the announced stuff! So it's looking good!

And I might, just might find out from Michigan tomorrow. That audition went really well too, so I can hope. *crosses fingers* And then on April 1, I find out from McGill and Yale. Why do colleges send out acceptance letters for April Fool's Day, anyway?? That seems really cruel to me.

"Hi, we'd like you to attend our college.











APRIL FOOLS! Haha, we really got you, didn't we? Better luck next time!"

Assholes.
