Wow, you are performing from memory? That is so brave but so freeing! I have only ever performed one piece from memory (in a formal setting) in front of an audience and it was a totally different experience from performing with music. I always felt the music was a good safety barrier.
And excellent news about Thailand, what an opportunity! What is keeping you in Atlanta? I am planning a trip there (Thailand) this year so maybe I'll bump into you - how funny would that be? Sounds like so many opportunities are coming your way. What an exciting time!
That was a really thoughtful reason for B to send the CD I love that he thinks of you and always comes across as having such respect for your thoughts and opinions and appreciation of things you might like.
Good job on taking the whatever attitude. Not hearing back isn't a reflection on you in any way, the reason he hasn't contacted you back is likely as not nothing to do with you personally. I'm sure you'll do a fabulous application.
