One more month exactly till classes start up at Whitworth. I'm actually excited to get focused and start school. Due to the high enrollment rate at school, there was no room for me to live on campus, so they asked me to find a place off campus. Thankfully Katie Petitt was able to put a good word in for me to the house she is in for the summer. I'll be living in a seven person house one block away from school. It will be really convenient because I won't have a car and that my skateboard will only go so far. I also think that the music building is really close by, which will be extremely beneficial because it will basically be my second home while at school. It will be interesting adjusting to Whitworth's standards and seeing in full what is expected of me. I have to prepare 30 minutes of memorized music this spring for my Junior recital. So I'm sure that four hours of practicing a day will be expected, but I'm excited and ready to dive into more repertoire. I'm also going to take a look at the theatre department and see what they are all about. I would like to get more experience on stage and it will help with the performance aspect of the piano. It seems that being away from home and the busyness of work, I'll have more of a focus to write more music and lyrics this fall. My mind has been in so many places the summer with the whole transferring process and with work. It has been extremely difficult to focus on music that I want to create but lack the motivation to compose. All I have left to say is that I am ready for this new place. I honestly can't wait.
