Rachel, How Has Your Summer Been?

Hey Everyone!!
I can;t believe i haven't posted on this blog (or my beauty blog) in sooooooo long!! I could've sworn i updated this back in June, but i guess not. So much has happened since i last posted, so i'll just get right into it!

First, i wanted to talk about my high school graduations (i went to 2 high schools). I had a lot of fun at both my academic school and NOCCA's graduations. I didn't cry or tear up at either which really surprised me. I actually got the musical theatre award at my NOCCA graduation, which i didn't expect at all! Overall, high school was a wonderful experience for me and i wouldn't go back and change any of it.

Second, I wanted to update you guys about the production of Annie i auditioned for. I got in the ensemble, but also had a couple small roles within the show. I wasn't all that disappointed that i didn't get a lead because the people who got those roles were older and great for their roles. It was a fun experience! I still got compliments on my voice even though i didn't really have any singing solos, which was cool.

Third, I got to go to Destin, Florida with some friends from high school. It was such a fun and much needed trip for me since i hadn't gone on a trip just for fun. all the trips i took recently were for college auditions. i had a lot of going to the beach pretty much everyday and bonding with some of my very best friends!

Lastly, i wanted to talk about college. As i said before, i am attending LSU for vocal performance and i couldn't be more excited to start developing my technique further and becoming a well rounded musician. I'm also excited about getting involved since i don't think i did that enough in high school. I've already started getting involved be volunteering for a community service project where i will be going with a group of LSU students and faculty to help renovate schools in the Baton Rouge area. I will definitely try my best to update this blog as much as possible on my progress at LSU and in the voice program.

XOXO
Rachel
