So today I had a piano audition that I've been working towards for over a year now. The required pieces were far beyond what I would've considered my skill level, and I haven't had any actual instruction in over ten years and I've barely played at all since then. I had to reteach myself piano basically.... and I passed the audition!
I now get to study privately with this virtuoso here on campus and I'll have to start performing in public (very scary).
I've been failing a lot lately, I messed up a separate audition about three months ago, failed at securing two different music based jobs, and didn't get cast at all for the college play... so I really needed this, or else I was going to start seriously thinking about pointing my life in a different direction.
On top of that, some cute guy that works at the coffee shop just gave me a free cappuccino cause he says "I'm always here." Did I blow my guardian angel in my sleep last night or something?
