I had quite the relaxing day today. I was able to sleep in until about 9:00 AM and enjoy a leisurely breakfast in my room – apples, grapes, and Odwalla bars. Meeting with a couple friends to check Hinman boxes was a great way to begin my day, even though I learned that the mailing office is closed on Sundays, so I have to wait one more day to retrieve my mom's package. That's okay. I won't suffer too much without children's vitamins.
Before my audition at the Hop, I attended the Organic Farm tour. We took a small bus to the location, only three miles away. I had to stand, so I made it an entertaining challenge to avoid grabbing onto anything and "surfing" my way there. When I got off, I felt like the ground was moving. The tour guide presented some very intriguing information about the greenhouses used to grow the delicious fruits and vegetables that end up on the dinner table (and our stomachs). Pictures will follow.
Ultimately, 30 minutes of warming up were spent to prepare for just a 3 minute audition. All I had to do was sing a few scales and sightread. I found the last sight reading phrase a bit confusing, since I have almost no experience with minor key signatures. Oops! Well, at least my voice sounded acceptable for my standards.
Today was my first time at the Berry Sports Center. What an imposing facility! There is so much exercise equipment, and so many people training for various sports. I was even motivated to be productive, and I felt great when I came out. A friend showed me some new exercises, and I must say, he is a very patient and encouraging coach.
After a Diversity Program presented by Cornell's "Ordinary People," I am so ready to go to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow, from a capella auditions to academic advising. It's about time that I started gearing up for classes – real college.
