CADCA, hope, jobs, Michaels, Touring Choir

Dear Friend,

Last week I told you that I was waiting for acceptances/denials about my future plans. This week I’ve been lucky enough to receive several acceptances! I’ve been accepted to go to CADCA (as I already told you,) I’ve been accepted into Touring Choir (!!!!,) and I’ve even received my first college acceptance letter (finally!!!) All of this stress is lifted off my shoulders and what do I do??? I ask for more!!! I applied for a job. I know it’s crazy, yet smart at the same time. For you see we were on our random singing adventure yesterday and Malinda and I took a little break to visit Michaels. As we were walking in, I saw a sign saying that you could go online and apply and I realized that I would LOVE working at Michaels! Michaels is where I go. You know me, I’m that crazy person who wants to be an art therapist (whatever THAT is.) So working at an arts and crafts store just makes sense. My mom even freaked out, she was all, “It’s SO perfect!!”  Nevermind that the store smells like creative inspiration and that I never have enough money with me when I go shopping there. But I will warn all of you who are thinking about applying there…don’t, please, I would REALLY like to get this job and I don’t need any more competition then necessary… and it’s a LONG application process, seriously there were over 12 pages of questions. Well, you can apply, and I won’t really care, but I am in no way encouraging you to apply…

Love, Mandi Jo

SNOW!

CADCA, snow

Dear Friend,

Today has been a good, bad, confusing day. Last night there was snow, but when I woke up (approximately 2 minutes before school normally begins) I freaked out only to discover that there was a 2 hour delay. I happen to love snow and couldn’t complain, it even gave me extra time to get some things finished up! Then almost HALF of the day was practicing the Messiah (which I LOVE) and I got through ALL of the songs without my music (It was AMAZING!!! because I had never gotten through the yoke song without music before) So that was awesome too, but then, when I got home from school I was exhausted I found myself taking a (rather long) nap instead of doing homework, and I just woke up a little bit ago, so I don’t know if that was good or not. But what REALLY has me confused is in regard to CADCA… So just a few days ago I was saying that my future seemed to be in the control of other people but that I had let go of some things and it had made me feel better, right?, well CADCA was NOT one of those things, it had been driving me insane not knowing…today, after awaking from my nap I immediately got on fb, to see what was going on in this crazy world, and I discovered a message saying who got in to CADCA. I immediately freaked out and frantically searched until I found my name…After I saw it I started to calm down and I began to look over the list to see who else would be going…but there was a name missing. I think I read the list 6 more times before I realized that the one person I had been SURE would be on the list, wasn’t there. I really thought that they would get in before I would, so I just don’t get it. CADCA, just won’t be that same with out them, sigh. My apologies dear friend, may you be smuggled along…

Love, Mandi Jo
