First Week of Governor's School Down: Three to go!

So here are a few highlights of my amazing first week at Governor's School:
  • Making a ton of friends
  • Making one person dislike me.(do I care? No.)
  • Having the amazing opportunity to sing with Take 6! They made up a melody, had an audience member choose the lyrics, and than arranged it into 6 parts! Me and two other girls got to go up and sing one of the parts. We each got to sing our part by ourself with the other parts. Getting to work with their main arranger was amazing! I'll never forget it :)
  • Having the Bass singer of Take 6 tell me that I should be an opera singer. I was kind of shocked when he said that my voice was the most memorable out of the three girls(no lie!) And he asked me if I planned to be an opera singer. I said yes of course! My brain was ringing with the sounds of No way! And ahhhhhh!! It was cool. LOL
  • My first private voice lesson. Mrs. Fisher was so sweet and gave me so many pointers that I can apply to any song I sing. She's also going to give me three songs I can learn and use for other auditions. So I'm excited. I wish I could take from her, I feel that I could progress tremendously under her teaching! But I'm pretty happy with just having a thirty minute lesson. :)
  • OPERA WORKSHOPS: The one thing that made me want to audition for Governor's School. It's so much fun!!!! Our teacher, Mrs. Williams, arranged five operas into one big amazing show! And I must say it's pretty awesome. It's definitely my favorite class. And Mrs. Williams is definitely my favorite teacher!
  • The cafeteria salad bar. They have mushrooms, cauliflower, and olive oil! Maybe this means that Weight Watchers won't disown me when I come back!
  • My ten minute walks to wherever I'm going. I've probably walked more this week than I did during the school year! I kind of like it actually. Though I do miss sitting in a car, not having to move while traveling, but still listening to the radio and having air conditioning!

So that's pretty much it I guess. Tonight I have a Pops concert to go to(we've had a concert to go to every night, I love it!) And I have reahearsal for our opera project that's due tomorrow. We have to make up choreography according to our interpretation of two classical pieces she chose for each group. Best project. Ever.

And I think I've finally figured out why my internet hasn't been working! I'm like the only person in my dorm right now, which means no one's on the internet! I shall remember that next time. LOL

Well, I think I'm going to get off now! I'm having such a great time, and I know that this week is going to be as good, or even better than the last! :)
