I have just experienced another major jolting change in my life:
After 3 years at BYU-Idaho and being used to always having my parents in the Salt Lake Valley, I have uprooted everything I ever knew and was comfortable with to start a new chapter in my life. The parents are all settled in Parker (for now), 20 minutes outside of Rexburg and I am living it up now in Logan at Utah State University with my brother and LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. It's incredible how quickly I've gotten adjusted and I couldn't feel better about the way my life is headed right now. The professors here are AMAZING and the program is so exciting. Collegiate Singers will always have a special place in my heart but Chamber Singers is going to be just as great. Dr. Evans announced to all of us today in class that we are going to New York and New Haven, CT for a weekend in November on a mini-tour towards the end of this semester. As for the opera theatre, we are doing the incredible show Sweeney Todd and also preparing to do Gianni Schicchi and possibly another one act in the Spring. Auditions for that are this weekend, so we'll see how that goes. It's funny, now that I'm here in Logan, it really feels like home (even though I'm still trying to learn campus, after Rexburg this place is HUGE!). The only thing I need now to make my experience complete is a good job that will work with my crazy schedule! Ha. Anyways, life is grand. New places, new experiences. That's what life should be all about. I think the best part is that I'm slowly learning how to come out of my shell a little bit more. More to come...
