it's very important to visit the university you want to go to. very important. i always knew it was, but didn't really give it serious thought. now i know. after actually visiting Windsor's School of Music yesterday, i was able to compare that one with Laurier's, and let me tell you, there were MANY differences. i think Windosr's music is built around the music therapy program. it's a very small, very old building. lots of student involvement and the people are really friendly. it was a nice set up, how they organized the whole day, with lunch and everything. however, because they spent so much time on that, the music school itsef isn't very professional. it gave me a feeling like they're just hangin' around, playin music, not taking it seriously. the facilities weren't very nice and efficient. it was like, "ah...doesn't matter. at least we have them" u know? Windsor 's had a feeling of hghschool all over again. just...at a different place. on the other hand, Laurier, though not as friendly and student oriented, it was very professional. i could tell that the music students at Laurier were really music students. So even though i talked so much about going to Windsor without another thought, if they accepted me, i'm rethinking.
i also got an acceptance from Dawson College, in Montreal. i actually wanna go there, cuz it's pretty good if you're interested in arts and stuff. but the bad thing is, i have to accept or decline their offer by the 24th of april. and i also have to go and write an english and french test. montreal is 6 hours away.
anyways, i still want to go to Windsor because of the program but i reallly don't like thier building facilities. it's so unprofessional.
i'll have to do a lot of thinking. write out the pros and cons for everything.

btw, my audition sucked like crap cuz the accompanist went too fast and i screwed up. they only gave me 15 minutes to practice with him!! ... stupid Windsor...

moving on... the play last night was awesome although the first half was better, in my opinion. nique always seems to have the good parts, eh? anyways, apparenty liza was supposed to be there but sarah called her and no one was home. ah well... it was fun waiting afterwards when everyone was cleaning. margaret emilia matt kamla remy and i drove to Tim's for coffee, and then to nique's house for the cast party, where i stayed for like 15 minutes and left. drove margaret home first though. it was weird cuz all night i felt like, so weird, and when i got home my mom started yelling at my brother and all that shit. see, this is why i absolutely hate staying home. it's always either my brother being an ass, my mother yelling at someone, or my dad wanting to "talk" but won't ever remember anything cuz he's so absorbed in his work. so yeah... last night i felt like crap, and couldn't sleep. too much thinking goddammit.
oh well...

anyways, that's about it for today's rant. adios.
