theyellowhobbitSo I had my callback today, in the same place where the audition was. Or it would have been there, except there was a fire alarm that went off. We first moved to a nearby room that I found alright, and then as a group walked somewhere else with a piano. Before we left, I asked them if I should grab my bike, so I would have it afterwards. They said no, because it was only a 5-10 minute walk to where we were going, and thus only a 5-10 minute walk back to my bike.
Indeed, it is only a 5-10 minute walk. If you know where you're going.
I took a wrong turn somewhere, ended up in a place where I didn't know any of the buildings, and eventually found random students, asked where building 4 was, and they said, "you can follow us." And they got me there. Once I was back in the building I was fine, I grabbed my bike, and went home.
So I didn't get lost getting there, I just got lost getting back. Go me!
Also, if it comes up again that we move, never again am I leaving my bike. I don't care how close our new location is, there's still a chance I'll get lost when I'm on my own.
Also, MIT needs to have more campus maps around. At Harvard the maps are plentiful. Is MIT really just a giant labyrinth meant to trap people in order to feed them to giant carnivorous plants? Because that's what it seems like to me.
I think the audition went well, though the alto part was at the top of my range. (Can't I just sing tenor? I learned your part, too...) It's also sorta hard balance blend and needing to be heard while you audition. And all the other auditionees were freshmen, so I felt old.
So I find out tomorrow night, since some other people still need to audition. I think I'm going to write out my hypothetical schedule, to see how everything looks, and whether or not being in Techiya will work if I get in. I'm a little panicked right now, so maybe having everything visible before me will make me less scared about theoretically committing to the group.
