So, school this semester is actually going well! I love it actually, haha! I am taking a super awesome music editing class, I think that I found my purpose in life :) Studio Recording is also very fun, even though it is kinda tough. I am one of two girls in my class, let's just say that us girls have to work extra hard to be better than the guys AND to be respected as recording engineers! But I love it. :) Mes amies et moi are taking French together, I love it so much. I'm thinking about moving to France right this very moment! Even if I have to play my cello on the streets for money! I just can't get enough of it!
A few weeks ago, EVMCO (the organization I play cello in) premiered Rob Gardner's "Lamb of God". It was such a wonderful experience, I loved every moment of it. I honestly don't think I can ever be in another orchestra and be this happy. I am so grateful to be a part of this organization. When I first heard about EVMCO, I had less than a day to put together some pieces to play for my audition. I kid you not, during my audition it wasn't me playing. I was playing the cello, but it sounded so gorgeous and romantic! I am positive that I had divine help. For awhile, I was feeling unsure and didn't feel like I was good enough to be a part of such an amazing thing. I was talking to my dad about this before a concert and he said that because I had that extra help during my audition, it goes to show how much I needed to be a part of this organization and this is where the Lord wants me to be at this moment. Here's an extra little present. :)
One of my really good friends just left for the MTC almost two weeks ago. I am so happy for him, and so excited to hear all about his mission! In fact, I got a letter from him today! It's kind of crazy. I've had older friends all leave for their missions already and some are already back, but now it's the people my age that are leaving!
