Show Choir Camps of America!!!

So you might be able to guess what this post is about.
I'm at SHOW CHOIR CAMP!!!!!
Today was the first real day of rehearsals at camp and I'm so pumped for the rest of the week. I'm seriously in bliss right now. I'm in a crappy dorm with barely any air conditioning, but I am in heaven. All the people at this camp are great. Everyone is so friendly, it's completely impossible to not make friends. And a lot of the people here are crazy like I am, so I find people I get along with really well. It's just really awesome and I feel really blessed to be given this opportunity. 2 years in a row on scholarship. It's just awesome and I love it.
I got a callback for the talent show and I'll find out tomorrow if I make it or not. I'm just a little bit excited. :) and nervous!! Ha:) well whatever happens is meant to happen.
I went to a workshop today that really made me think. The clinician, Dina Else, talked about the steps and mindset you have to have to be a successful singer. I am planning on making a career in musical theatre and vocal performance, so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to get some good advice. She had some great things to say.
Here's my favorite quote and new life motto:
"Do not give up the thing you want most for the thing you want now."
I know that my dreams are big. I know I'm asking a lot of myself but I'm optimistic and I feel like that's a good thing. If I can have the determination and self-discipline to make myself a successful singer, I know I can realize those dreams. Sure, it might take a while. And it's gonna take some work. Like the metaphor Dina used today. "Take the stairs, not the escalator" when she showed us a picture of people waiting in a long line for the escalator when the stairs were open. Yes, it's gonna take some more work, but it's the more beneficial decision for you.
I guess I'm just feeling inspirational today.
I just need to keep believing in myself. I think that's gonna be my key thing.
I need to believe in myself, trust in God and do what I love. And I'll get there. I'll work my butt off if I have to but I will get there. One day I am going to be on a big stage singing as another character in front of thousands of people.
That's the dream.
I know I'm crazy. I've accepted that. But I'm gonna make it work-which is a phrase we hear a LOT as performers.
I sure as hell am gonna make it work.
