I had an audition this week. The last one I had was last year for the University Chorale. This time it was slightly different. It was for the Baptist Campus Ministry's worship team. It was weird since I'm friends with everyone that was on the "judging panel". I think that it's ridiculous that they were having try-outs in the first place since, no one is dying to get on the praise team. But whatever. There was not any instructions to have music prepared so I just showed up and waited for my turn.
I walked into the room and they asked me if I had any songs I wanted to sing. I of course started to get nervous as I am apt to do, and finally thought of a song. They wanted a slow song and a fast song. I thought of Beautiful One for the fast song and How Great Is Our God for the slow song. Then they asked for me to do harmony. I was already so nervous that I didn't listen to Travis' melody and dove right in!
It was a really informal auditon, but it was nice and I hope I get a part. Still haven't heard from them yet. Hopefully I get to sing with Brittany, since she is one of the few sophomores where I have any rapport with.
The swim test. Oh the swim test! So part of the rules at my university is to pass a swim test if you decide to take an Exercise Class. I made it 3/4 of the way to the swimming part. My instructor said I could try again later. So we into the treading water part. You need to tread water for five minutes. The pool was 20 ft deep...ok maybe 12ft (but still)! I know I can swim, but I started to freak out. I did not want to cause a scene and be known as "The Student Who Almost Drowned During the Swim Test". So after a couple minutes of floating, I calmly swam to the edge of the pool and went out of the water. And I said, that I gave up.
I have this mental block when it comes to physical activity. It's hard for me to motivate myself past a certain point. Thankfully, I'm naturally skinny. But Beginners Swimming for this skinny m*******!
