University Roulette

The little white marble that represents many of my future activities was bouncing around quite a bit this year. It rattled around the UK, bounced through the southerns states, up through middle America and ping ponged between eastern and western Canada. finally the ball stopped.

And the Winner is!!!

McGill: Montreal

It was a very difficult choice. But, when I received the letter from McGill I was very happy. It's supposed to be the best school in Canada for music. Also, the city is rumored to be very interesting musically. One of the Three Canadian Schools with a truly international reputation.

The choice was hard. I'm giving up a lot of good offers. But, when I took everything into consideration, McGill was the best. I was fortunate enough to be in the position to factor scholarships offers, TA positions and reputation into my choice. Some of the hardest things I had to give up one were: a full scholarship to U of A and an offer from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

Who cares about what I am passing up. I'm gonna focus on what I stand to gain from this incredible opportunity!

When everybody knows you are applying for masters schools, a lot of pressure builds up. I'm glad I dont' have to worry about that anymore. I am also VERY glad that I can focus on other things.
