So...the end of the semester is here, and although it has not been hellacious, I am truly glad it is here. I will miss my friends but I won't miss class. I will miss having a really nice piano to play on whenever I want, but at least we have a decent piano at home.
As glad as I am that this semester is past, I am beginning to freak out with the fact that in just a few months I will be looking for a real job and have to do all the things grown-ups do. No more pretending. No more being a little kid wishing I was a grown up because then I get to have "real job". Play time is over. Reality is setting in and as exciting as it is, there are some scary realities that come with it. I will have to make sure I budget everything...not that I haven't done that before, but I will be on a stricter budget especially because of everything I will be responsible for. Being my own person is exciting.
Oh...and for whoever read my last message I am 99.9% sure that I will not go to grad school next year. It will be better for me to get experience under my belt because schools, in general, do not want to hire someone who has their masters, requiring higher pay, when they are fresh out of school with no experience in the field. Not to mention, that the degree I am seeking will benefit me better if I take time to work and do some research on the topic. So, I am going to take the next couple of years to work and eventually apply to get my Masters in Music in Piano Pedagogy...possibly in Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy (double masters...pretty much).
