Wow I am not doing too well at keeping up with this blog. I think I'm still trying to find my voice and I don't want to write mundane details about my day. That second part really holds true considering that my days are currently extremely mundane. This is supposed to be the dream, to have your days completely to yourself, no job to report to or assignments to turn in. Everyone tells me to enjoy this time because it's probably the last summer I'll ever have to myself. I am honestly attempting to enjoy myself,but it's difficult having no job because no job means no money which means no having fun. If I've learned anything this summer, it's that you can't do anything without a little bit of money. Even dancing requires a cover charge. So yes, the first two weeks of doing nothing were fun, but now I feel almost like a prisoner in my own home. And I feel so lazy! But I am trying to do some "self development" as my mother calls it. I'm working on learning a new song on the piano, so that's good...
There does seem to be something developing with my music. I keep receiving encouragement about my songs and my voice and there are people who truly believe I could sing professionally. One friend, the same one who is in Japan, seems to have made it his personal mission to spread the word about the song we wrote together (If you're interested in hearing it, you can click on the video link above). Somehow he got a bar in Tokyo to play our song and "everyone at the bar loved it" he said. These people give me inspiration and help me to believe in myself and I wonder if this is how the greats got started; with simple encouragement from those who were close to them. Hey, if that's the path God has chosen for me, I don't think I would mind :)
Spain information is slow going. I received my placement and got an email from the people I'll be working with in Spain, but haven't heard anything since then. I still haven't gotten the forms I need from the embassy for my visa, which is ironic since they were the ones rushing me to get it done as soon as possible. I was told by a friend who went through this program that it is completely worth it, but dealing with these people is going to make me want to bang my head against a wall. Awesome. Hopefully everything will come through soon.
Cool, so I hope this wasn't too boring. Thanks for reading!
