The purpose of University is...
...well? what?
I figured University was there to help me get to where i needed to go for my future, you know, to get my ideal career, reach my goals. but, it turns out that, though that is the stated purpose, they want me to know everything before i even get there.
so, i guess I don't learn there. I just go there because I have to to get a career in anything nowadays, right?
so my problem is rather simple, and stupid.
I can't get into university anywhere except possibly York for singing Jazz.
first problem (one I latered discovered which sort of helped me with problem two): Windsor and U of T (places i was looking at) Have the wrong program.
second problem: Admission to either requires at least four songs to sing at an audition, two - four in another language. they also give an ear test, all that jazz, and they want a grade 8 conservative training background. i have none of that. nope, not me. i cant learn that fast either.
fuck.
well, I don't know about York yet. they have something like Jazz Vocalism, and I'm counting on that...but if they want the same thing, I'm dead. I won't be following music, simply because I can't. which sucks ass. I would go into art, because thats what I have to fall back on, Art. not something you can do for a living, right?
sigh
what a crappy day-night-day. Theres no place in the world for the under developed. just waiting on tables and shining shoes.
i didn't get training because i was niave and thought that University would do that for me. I thought they would train me. hello, thats why I'm going...or want to go, at least.
meh

Em, you can use your art skills for other things than just being an artist. You can become an interior designer, a copyrighter for advertising (they do the graphics for ads), a graphic designer, an illustrator. Take it from a fellow artist, there ARE many careers out there for art-you just have to find them.

i've pretty much devoted my life to music, but i'm not going to university for it, i'm going to learn independantly, and do it how I want to do it. of course, i probably will go nowhere.
