I found out that I got into Longy School (the music school I auditioned for in Boston)!!!!!!! They even gave me some scholarship, including a special "ambassadorial assistantship... for students of the highest caliber to represent the school at special performances and events" ???!!!! WTF??? It feels TOTALLY AWESOME for someone to tell me I am "highest caliber"!!??? I am not sure whether or not I will go--I sent them a long email negotiating for more scholarship money and am supposed to talk to them about it tomorrow. Basically, I feel like I really turned a corner/crossed a threshold while preparing for the audition, & I'm excited to see what happens if I keep nurturing my blooming cello abilities. And the teachers I'd be working with are amazing. However, I am really not sure if I want to do any more school, or be in Boston, or go into more student debt for any reason whatsoever. So I am giving myself a lot of time to percolate about my decision. Regardless of whether or not I go, I am really excited that I did the audition, it really transformed me in ways I didn't expect and craved deep in my soul.
