A New Beginning...

So I'm attempting to get another blog started - this time, for my first year at university as a Bachelor of Music undergrad! I'll be at the University of Manitoba... a good distance from my hometown, Boyle, Alberta, but definitely not as far as Sendai City, Japan. Nervousness is starting to set in, especially now that I'm doing a scholarship course from the 18th to the 25th in the city. I hadn't known I was going until the beginning of this week and therefore hadn't begun the arduous and time-consuming packing for uni. Now I'm kind of scrambling to get everything organized and sorted, which is quite the task for a scatterbrain like myself... haha. I'm leaving tomorrow morning, returning the night of the 25th, spending the 26th with the fam and packing, then leaving for Manitoba the next day. Once we get there, there'll be an orientation for both myself and my parents and time to set up my room. Then I have auditions for the Opera Workshop and the University Singers on the 2nd and 3rd; I'm really hoping I get into the University Singers ensemble... however, it's the director's decision who goes where... eep!
Classes officially begin on the 3rd; I hope all goes well and that I manage to find my way around!! Wish me luck!!
