Thanks so much for all the good thoughts + prayers last week! I’m happy to report that I survived my week of interviews! (I had 4 interviews in 3 states in 3 days!)
I think they all actually went really well! I definitely did not get much sleep, and am still a little exhausted, but I will hopefully get caught up with comments and all that goodness soon!
The lack of sleep was worth it, because I reallyyyy like these programs. Making my rank list is going to be monumentally difficult because I like so many different places, but…on the plus side, at least it means that I’ll be happy at a bunch of different places! It’s a good problem to have, so I can’t complain.
Since life has been crazy-hectic, I’m just going to be sharing some random stuff about me today!
I’m technically “homeless” right now.
I’m scooting from one place to the next every 2-4 weeks for another half-year or so, so rest assured, I still have a place to live (thankfully), but as far as an actual mailing address and a home goes…yeahhh, not so much. It’s actually been an awesome adventure so far though! I’ve met a lot of really awesome people and my interviews have been really fun!
It’s also made me a lot better at packing. I can fit 2.5 weeks’ worth of stuff for my rotations/general living into a backpack and a carry-on.
Case in point…
If I could have any superpower, it’d be teleportation.
I used to entertain the thought of other ones, but in terms of general overall usefulness, teleportation would be so awesome. *-* Imagine all the time and money I could save in just this year alone! (Plus, picking a program would be a whole lot easier.)
I have perfect pitch!
I used to be the pitch pipe for the no-audition a capella group that my friends and I started up back in undergrad! I feel like if I had better memory, I’d be able to play anything by ear, but as it is, unless I know the song reallyyy well, I have to keep listening to it to figure out the rest of the accompaniment to the piece. Melodies are easy though!
This is my [15-second] cover of one of my favorite songs–Avenged Sevenfold’s Warmness on the Soul.
Someday, when I have income again, I want to fund no-kill shelters/sanctuaries.
Part of my income is undoubtedly going to go towards Please Save A Cat, which has literally been my home for the past couple years. When I tell people I live at a cat shelter, I’m really not kidding. :O It just so happens that it’s also a farm. I’ve actually mentioned this at a couple interviews (haha).
I also want to pay off my parents’ house for them, and to treat them on a vacation to wherever the hecks they want to go, because without them, this [obviously] would never have been possible. <3 …and I’d also buy Bel her own space for a studio + furnish PCMAA with all the mats/other things that Phil wants to add to the academy. *-*
The first and only race I’ve ever run = the Nike Women’s Half in 2010.
If you’ve been hanging out here long enough, you probably know I’m not a fan of long-distance running. I don’t even know how I managed to even accomplish this anymore, and I really should have properly trained for it and also gone easy on the downhill running (thanks a lot, SF hills!), but…I accomplished my goal of finishing it and not dying! :] It took 2 hours and 22 minutes.

I think having any sort of musical skills would be the absolute coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, I lack any sort of gifting in that area.

Hehe, thanks! :D I never knew there was a word for it until about a decade ago!
I loved that you posted that video of you playing piano, and I’m so glad that you survived! Not only that, I’m sure that you killed it, in a good way :D You are so amazing for wanting to take care of your family like you do–that is a rare thing indeed :D

They’re awesome! <3
I loved this post and learning these facts about you. If I could have your musical talent, that would be awesome!! Pitch Perfect is one my favorite movies and I’m always so jealous of their amazing ability to sing.

Aww, thank you! <3 I loved Pitch Perfect too! I wish I could sing like that!
Great! Now that you’ve disclosed that you have perfect pitch, you’re obligated to put up a video of yourself singing :)

I’m really self-conscious about my singing! :[ I have a couple instagram clips, but generally it’s just the audio part, ahaha. Someday if I work up the courage, I’ll throw it onto here! :P
Oooh, teleportation, that’s a good one. I think I’d go for that after being able to fly. I always think how cool it would be to have a transporter like Star Trek.
I absolutely LOVE that you want to fund a no-kill shelter. I’m a big animal lover and I hate that there are so many furry/feathery babies out there with no home and no one to love them.

Being able to fly would be pretty cool too as long as you could be invisible (so as not to attract attention/get shot down, haha).
<3! Yay for another animal lover!
I am not surprised you have perfect pitch :-P I mean, you’re a BAMF!

haha, when I look back on it now, I’m not sure how the hecks it ever happened. The “race bling” was a Tiffany’s necklace, so I definitely still have that (+ the shirt)! <3
Thanks so much! :]!
