This was both an exciting and devastating moment for me because as much as I love books, I think I cried a little bit when the cashier announced my total...I don't think I've ever spent that much money at one point in time. After swiping my card, I put all my books in a bag and began the trek home.
Unfortunately for me, today just so happened to be the hottest day of the year and I sweat the entire walk home. My books were so heavy, that I think I pulled all the muscles in my arm and almost destroyed my new bag. Once I got home, I sat all of the books on the floor and cracked them open. I am so excited to start learning about nursing. I feel like there's so much to know!
Today was also Clubsfest; the one day a year where all of the clubs at McMaster set up tables so that you can see which clubs you're interested in. As I was walking past one table, someone called out to me asking if I was a singer. In that moment, I wasn't really sure what to say. Even though I sang in high school, I think that certain people around me discouraged me to the point where I wasn't sure if I was very good. When the person today asked me if I was a singer, it felt like a new opportunity to start fresh and forget what people used to say in high school. As hard as it was for me, I smiled and replied, "yes!"
One thing led to another, and after 45 minutes of staring at my computer screen, I decided to sign up for an audition to be part of Macappella, McMaster's only acappella club! I realized today that I need to start trying new things without being afraid of failure. I'm not sure if I'll make it into the group, and I have no idea what to sing for my audition, but regardless, I'm excited to see where this goes!
