It's been a while since my last post. I've settled in nicely and now I feel a bit like a phoenix coming out of its ashes after a really bad flu, a cough that was close to bronchitis and hoarseness resulting from that. I can still feel some junk on my voice, but I'm sure that'll be gone soon, too. Other than that, classes are going rather well. I'm having the time of my life in the ensemble (even though I couldn't sing there this week, which was killing me *flash of being dramatic*)!! I've never been so happy singing with other people. They're simply amazing!!
I never thought I'd like America this much. I still feel that emotionally I can connect better to British people, but for now America's doing just fine. I found that some things said about them are true, yes, but some things are definitely not and a lot are never even mentioned! It's always about how they pollute the earth, they're consumers, fat etc. That might partly be true, but there's so much more to them!!! I have never been so welcomed and helped as when I first got here!! I don't think I could find that anywhere else. Also they might not always know anything about your culture or where your country is, but they're always interested in it, and in you! I think that's something that should not be overlooked. There's also nothing wrong with being proud of your country. It only seems so krass because it's such a large nation. There are people from all over the world here! They mingle and live side by side. I might also live in a very liberal state of the US, that might have smth to do with it. However I'm glad about where I live and I wouldn't have it any other way at this point.
Since there hasn't been much else going on, this is it for now. I will report again soon.
Behave! :-)
