Spring Semester 2013 has been in session for a while. I love it! I've never been happier in my life! It's such a great feeling to be out on my own! I love my roommates, they are all fantastic! I enjoy how much they try to get me to sing to them. No one but my mother has been this excited about my singing. It's such a compliment, but I feel like I'm showing off whenever they want me to sing.
I like voice lessons so far. They just barely started last Wednesday, but I think I'll be able to learn much this semester! Enjoying this semester very much! Never want it to end!

Sooo, Wednesday the 13th, Heavenly Father was so very kind to me. :) I was extra stressed about grades (mid-terms and just passed) and classes, and he was just so thoughtful !
I go to BYU-Idaho (Majoring in Music....for the moment).
I had my voice class in the morning, and was so worried about going to class. I didn't feel completely prepared as I should have been. My accompanist needed to cancel our scheduled practice time (the day before), so I wasn't able to practice the song I needed to, with the accompaniment. (I probably should have practiced with her the week before anyway, but I'm a poor college student and can barely afford an accompanist for a month. So I try to only do 1 practice per week.) So I practiced with my recording, the best I could. Aaaanyway, so I practiced 10 minutes with my accompanist, before my lesson, and we walked to my instructors office together. There was a little note on the door that said he was sick. (I was super relieved! I felt bad that he was sick, especially since he had a concert that night, but I was so relieved.)
Also, I was dreading Orchestra that day. Last orchestra class, I had been stuck up in the first stand alone, while the student conductors, worked with their pieces. (God is funny sometimes. I suck at violin, despite my 9 year playing experience. He thought it would be funny to change me from 4th stand, to 1st stand! The section leader, my stand partner; goes around the section during class time and sits throughout the section, playing with different stands. But she chooses the people who have absent stand partners, so I'm left alone in the front, and it's so embarrassing. I'm always worried the student conductors will ask all the first stands in the orchestra, to play, so that the rest of the orchestra can see what it sounds like. Hasn't happened yet, but I'm still scared to death.) So that one day, my stand partner left for some of the class time, and left me alone, embarrassed at the front. But last week...listen to this, this is super amazing!...As we were all getting ready to tune, Brother Call, (our instructor) asked all the violins to move back 2 STANDS! So we all moved back 2 stands. But...get this...ONLY second violins, he asked to do this. I was amazed! (and super grateful. I do like the student conductors a lot! I'm just a huge worry wart, and that Wednesday, I was even more so.)
I could hardly believe it!!!
THEN, that same day, my voice instructor had a tabernacle concert he was in, and wanted his students to attend. (It wasn't required, but he was offering it as extra credit. But I had 100% in his class.) I wanted to go because he was going to be singing (HA HA HA at first I accidentally put sinning. :P ha ha) in it, but I didn't want to go, because I had a conflicting things. He was sick so I was able to go.
I feel really bad for my instructor because he was sick, but Wednesday was so nice!
God is so thoughtful! I was to the point of crying that day, and he was so kind. :) I love him!
Happy Fathers Day Heavenly Father!
You really are the best!
