AMDA

Greetings friends and family! This blog space, or as I like to call it- Journal, is intended to keep any and all who are interested up to speed with my life while I'm away. So many people have been so very supportive along the way, have stuck by me through the years of highs and lows, that I figured this might be a fun way to keep you all abreast of any new and exciting events.
Well. This summer, july I believe it was, I auditioned for the AMDA the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Manhattan, NY. http://www.amda.edu/
The Audition went fairly well in my opinion, I didn't choke and I refused to crumble in intimidation- you should have heard the incredible voices of these applicants! I also didn't trip- which usually happens at an audition or job interview. Maybe my lack of clumsiness was a sign, because after the fiasco with my references was cleared up (another story another time) I recieved a letter and a packet from said school informing me of my acceptance!
I have been accepted as a student of Musical Theatre and will begin classes in February (knock on wood) should all the financial Aid be wourked out. I did recieve a $2,000.oo scholarship based solely on my audition, which is flattering, and I hope the need-based ones will follow!
It is currently november. I'm getting very anxious to get to the big apple. For now I need to focus on getting a job for the holidays and getting in shape- as I'll be required to take ALOT of dance and movement classes when I do finally get to school. I'm really excited about the Tap and Jazz, but am more than dreading the ballet. Yikes. Oh well, I'm smiling- no I'm beaming! This is what I've wanted since my senior year of high school, and I've had a lot of time to mature and to be ready for this- come what may!
Well, that's all for now folks! I hope to figure out this picture deal and sound clips- that could be really fun for the future- but Rome wasn't built in a day, as the expression goes, and I've got to get some shut eye. Thanks for Reading!

Love and Thanks
Beth
