Well, yesterday I went up to CBU (California Baptist University) to apply for a music scholarship. Being the senior bassist at my church, I figured I would be a shoe-in for getting the funding I would need.
Well, an amature mistake stopped that from happening. Instead of reading the actual bass line, I followed the chord progression like I'm used to. I did, however, get offered a $1,500 a year scholarship under my merits as a vocalist. He seemed surprised that I did so well without any training.
Needless to say, I will not be attending California Baptist University this coming Fall unless something happens between now and September.
And if that wasn't enough, I got home from the audition (I did cool off at Guitar Center by checking out some of the basses I'm looking at buying and finally playing Run Like Hell a bit more like the actual album) to have a message from Folio Literary Group. Opened it up...and saw it was a rejection letter. It upsets me, but a comment my father made kinda changed the disappointment in that. He told me that a lot of people never even get to the point of trying to get it published. Most never see a rejection letter because they never even try.
It actually made me feel like an author.
And then today, well...my bed is no longer safe to sleep in...so I'll probably be looking for a replacement tomorrow.
Yeah...and the weekend isn't even over yet...
