Douglas Anderson School of the Arts

Have you ever been to a place where you felt like you were in a heaven-on-earth? The day we took a tour of Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, I felt that way. Even though the school was a little old, and for most people is just another school option, for me it was a place I knew I would be able to escape and to express myself freely. You have to audition to get in, and mine is tomorrow!!!!!!!! I'm actually auditioning twice- once for creative writing tomorrow and once for voice on monday the ninth. I'm pretty tense about it. I'm feeling a lot of pressure about it, too, since there's already enough stuff going on. I know for a fact that if I don't respond well to the questions they ask me, that could prohibit me from getting in, even if i have a great portolio or if I sang really well. That's the part I'm the most nervous about. I always want not to be too nervous, because then I will sing worse. I'm singing the Italian aria, "La'chia Chi'o Pianga" from the opera Rinaldo, by Handel. It's a really pretty song, and I enjoy singing it. I also have an estabished portfolio with about five different genres: poetry, essay, fiction, editorial, and tall tale. I just hope it will al be enough and I have won't have to worry too much about the questions they ask. Still, I'm preparing to memorize a couple answers to questions they will probably ask. Anyway, wish me good luck. If God wants me there, then I'll be there.
