I’m doing better in college at the moment than I have in my entire college career. Literally. I earned two 4.0′s (A’s or 100%’s for those of you using different grading systems), which is something that I’ve definitely never done in college, as well as a 3.67, two 3.33′s, and one 2.33. Music Theory I was the shaky one. I went into the final with a 67% in the class. This meant I had to get an 84%+ on the final to pass the class. In the Music Department at Wayne, anything below a C is not considered passing and must be retaken. I ended up with a C+. Which meant I had to have gotten an 86%+ on the final. I’m amazed. I plan to ask for the test back at the beginning of next semester. That I’ve got to see, hehe. Frame it maybe. Everyone kept saying “Oh, you’ve just got to get an 84%, you’ll be fine,” to which I responded, “I have a 67% in the class, what’s the likelihood of getting an 84% on the final,” to which they responded, “Oh. Yeah.” Heh. Somehow I managed. I’m so geeked. It’s super exciting. I have to finish my voice juries at the beginning of next semester, but I’m not terribly worried about it. They’re doubling as my official audition into the department, as well, which works out great for me. One, I don’t have to sing for them twice, and two, the auditions are _much_ less strenuous and scrutinised than the voice juries themselves. They just want to hear your voice and whether or not you can sing. That will definitely be demonstrated by my jury. So, that worked out well. And that’ll get the audition out of the way, me into the department, and leave me with one less thing to have to remember to take care of.
Either way, I’m beyond excited about how things went. I suppose at some point things fall into place. I didn’t really change what I was doing. Something just seemed right this time.
I suppose that’s how it happens. And I still have all the time in the world. Pretty damn good.
