Today I had my audition at the performing arts high school that my sister goes to. I also applied to a regular public high school, and a slightly harder academic one. Another option is home schooling. All of them are very plausible. Although the level of music at my sister's high school is kind of below my level, I auditioned there anyway because it seemed like a really great place and I want to keep my options open.

The audition went really well, it wasn't anything to get worked up about anyway since we were sure I was going to get in. I've already met the teachers that were in the audition (the full orchestra conductor, the string orchestra conductor and the band conductor). After I played for them, the main thing we talked about was my missing school (for From The Top dates). I'm not really sure about how it will all turn out... but at least I have a lot of choices.

I'm getting sleeeeepy so goodnight for now.

Congrats on your audition! You're very smart to give yourself lots of options. Just picture yourself at all of them and see where you think you'll be the happiest. :)
