Well, I auditioned to be a member of the barbershop quartet in a show called "The Music Man."  And I just did my callbacks!

It must be because of the good luck kiss

Absolutely!

We're remodelling the kitchen, and I got to help dismantle the old shelving units that we're taking to the dump. With a sledgehammer XDXD

Nothing like the power of destruction to get the blood pumping! XD

I was able to go to school again! Even though I'm still tired like hell *slept less than 3 hours* D:
An important friend of mine messaged me which made me really happy!
Even though he commented something like: "XD You and your darn apples" Since he said he was going to work in the school-store
And I'm kind of obsessed with apples so.. ^^'' <3

Finally a reason to post in this thread! 
Lately, I felt like my luck and success were decreasing due to some performance tests not going as well as I hoped. Then there was the audition to the Salsa Ensemble which didn't go well AT ALL (due to not getting any response, I believe I didn't pass. This school is a mess it doesn't really let us know, so I should check it out). And today, there was an audition to an African Ensemble - the problem was, that we only got the repertuar 4 days ago, and the charts were so difficult! It was impossible to prepare them in four days. So I came to the audition today with a horrible feeling (Everyone did. Some didn't even look at their charts before), but the instructor turned out to be a really cool guy who understood that it was impossible for most of us to learn everything perfect. It was enough for him that I tried and that we (him and me) tried to work together on the charts during the audition itself.
I still wasn't sure if I passed, but just now I looked at my school's website, and I found out I did.
If I didn't pass in the Salsa Ensemble, then its too bad, because I wanted to be there, but thankfully, there's another ensemble (eastern/arab music) during that time slot, and I passed that audition as well. Since I already participate in a Samba Ensemble, I don't feel like it's such a loss, and there's nothing bad about arab music, in fact, I've wanted to play this music for some time, but I've never had anyone to instruct me in the genre. (latin, jazz, classic, african, arab, rock. Maybe in Berklee there will be an Asian Ensemble? *wishful thinking*)
the only problem would be to produce quarter tones in a western flute which is supposed to produce half tones. It's not impossible, but can be tough (in arab music, there are quarter tones). I might as well simply buy an arab flute, but I'm still getting used to my new alto flute, and I also have the audition to Berklee in two months, so if I buy a new flute, it would be only after December.

So.... went to work today with the goal in mind to speak with the manager that's been trying to get me into one of her departments (on the orders of the store manager, who I spoke with Friday). I talked to her, then was told I need to speak with the HR manager to make sure everything would be okay if they did move me over. Talked to the HR manager, who told me that as long as everything was alright with both my current manager and the manager that I would be working under if I switch, everything should be okay, even though I'm part time and the only stuff open is seasonal (they make exceptions if it's current employees moving). Talked to the other manager again, told her what the HR manager said and that I had already spoken with my manager on Friday and he's backing me 100%, and so the manger was like "Okay, well then let me go get the supervisor and ask her a couple of things real quick."

Turns out "asking her a couple of things" means "impromptu interview time!". Totally not prepared for it, but I think it went pretty well, since I have pretty much all the basic knowledge of the department since I've helped out there a few times, and I know how to answer phones and work on shipping and stuff, cause I learned all that at customer service, and both the manager and supervisor like me. So I think I've actually got a pretty good shot at it.

@Kor: Awesome! That's really cool!

TN weather is going my way for once. This time last week (no exaggeration), I was suffering through daily highs of 110 degrees F; yesterday the high was 50. I've been waiting for this.

Hopefully it's the turn of the year and it won't suddenly heat back up again...

@Kor and PT: Congrats and good luck.

Finally watched "The Princess and the Frog". LOVELOVELOVE.

Also, discovered a Facebook event titled "GARY MOTHERF***ING OAKTOBER". I laughed for a good ten minutes before clicking "Attending", then kept laughing. Now I wonder if I should change my name for the month.
