School Search Update

So everyone keeps asking me if I've posted this on my blog yet, so now I am. I got officially accepted into Zürcher Hochschule der Künste! That would be the one in Zürich. So what does this mean? Well.... I love Zürich.... so I will probably end up there. HOWEVER, I am visiting Berlin tomorrow to get to know the teacher and the school, and will probably still audition there in two weeks. If I am accepted, then I'll actually have to think, possibly quite hard (depending on my impression tomorrow) about where I want to spend the next few years of my life.

That's all.... :) I'll maybe write about Berlin when I get home....

Kathryn Needs....

The idea of this is to type your name and the word "needs" into google and list the first ten results that make any kind of sense....

1. Kathryn needs help. In the sense of relationship advice about 14-year-old boys. Oh dear, I thought I was past this...
2. Kathryn needs numbers. Okay?
3. Kathryn needs to give herself some credit. Ouch.
4. Kathryn needs to do her side. My side of what?
5. Kathryn needs to stop a freight train. I'm missing something crucial here...
6. Kathryn needs a title. Hmmmmm.....
7. Kathryn needs some healing pixies. I agree, you never know when a healing pixie could be useful...
8. Kathryn needs a share in Grand Rapids, MI. I don't wanna move to Michigan, thanks.
9. Kathryn needs no introduction as the foremost exponent of the Northumbrian pipes. What???
10. Kathryn needs to [blank]. This was on someone's blog. She wanted everyone else to fill it in....

Anyway, somehow that wasn't quite as entertaining as I hoped it would be. Oh well.

Switzerland (again???)

I spent the last week in Switzerland. Most of you are probably wondering how I manage to get so far from home (about ten hours of travel time) so often, and the answer this time was that I missed a lot of school, but it was totally worth it. My audition was on Friday, and went quite well. I do not have official results yet, I will post them as soon as I do (next week, I believe).

On to the fun part--the pictures!

This is where I might study next year!!!

There were chickens running around outside of the cafe we ate lunch in on Sunday. I decided they were probably quite tame.... "but they're so cute!"

Cédric, probably laughing at me because I kept picking up the chickens... =)

Me, Cédric, and Brianna

Another sport that just makes you wonder

This one with very tolerant horses...

School Update

I haven't written in too long, so..... I figured I would write a quick update about what's going on in the school search.

I'm going to Zürich on Wednesday for my audition, which is May 7th. :) I am really excited to miss lots of school, and go back to Switzerland. I like Switzerland.... :)

I also just got a letter from the school in Berlin. My audition there is June 7th... There was much jumping and squealing when that letter came in the mail yesterday... It will be AWESOME!

I haven't heard from my last school (and I believe I'm not supposed to for a little longer)....

And that is the school update!
