What Can I Say Other Than "Thank you"?

Ever since I got to Korea I've been missing one thing more than almost anything else...MUSIC (sorry family and friends). 

I'm surrounded by so much music in the United States, be it through choir, band, or theatre, I guess I started to take music for granted, but trust me, I know how much it means to me now.

I have been missing music so much, I’ve been jumping at any opportunity to participate in anything music related, so when I saw a choir festival was taking place (even though I wasn't technically eligible) I emailed the director anyway, and he replied, giving me more than I thought I would get...a spot. So now I'm in an international choir festival with a group from an int'l foreign school in my city that will allow me to meet new people from all over Korea and take part in an amazing event. I’m singing in German, Latin, and English, and I can't believe that such a great thing has fallen into my lap.

As if it could get better, the first day I met with a representative of the school we talked about band, and what instruments I played. Of course I mentioned clarinet, and THEY GAVE ME ONE to borrow, and asked me if I would like to come and join them for their orchestra rehearsals. An un-refusable offer if I've ever heard one. 

So now I've bad these two amazing things fall into my lap in the past week, and all I can say is thank you to the gracious people that live in my amazing city, and around the world. It's people like this who really bring good into the world, and I am so lucky to have encountered some. I can't believe that an email I sent on a hope brought back all of these great opportunities and I can only hope there are more chances out there!
