I'm auditioning for a talent show. I am shy. I am a singer, and sing a variety of styles. I make enough money to get by singing at weddings, but not enough to get wealthy.
I am shy. I have a roommate that I get along with, but we are not friends. I work part time in retail  while attending college, but do not intend to continue post-college. I am in my second year of college learning programming, and enjoy it. I am learning different programming languages, but mainly focus on Python.
You'll never believe how elaborate the wedding I sang at this weekend was - they had an ice skating rink! Oh my! That sounds like alot of fun. I have never heard of a wedding with an ice rink. Did you get time away from work to enjoy the ice skating? No, unfortunately I wasn't able to go for a spin around the rink but I had a lot of fun watching people. I never thought I'd see someone ice skate in a wedding dress! How is school going? It's going pretty well. I have a major exam this weekend, so I am spending a lot of time studying for it in preparation. I can't wait to be finished, so I can get paid for programming. Haha. Did you go to school?  I did! I went to Juliard for music and have a degree in music education but I don't want to teach, it seems like everyone hates teachers anymore and I'm not about that. Have you thought about freelancing while you're finishing up school?  Yeah, I have thought about freelancing, maybe next year or my senior year. I want to get some more study under me before I jump into it. The job market is quite competitive, so I want to be a little more polished. And you went to Juliard? That's very impressive. I have heard a lot of good things about it. Who are some your favorite singers/musicians? I grew up listening to the Beattles and Zeplin but I've been loving this group called Postmodern Jukebox lately. They take current music and cover it in a classic style, it's really cool. Are you still working the retail job?  I have actually heard of postmodern jukebox. I've listened to a few of their songs here and there, and they sounded great. I personally enjoy Americana and Alt Rock. And yeah, I just got back from working a shift. It's not the most fun experience and can be draining, but I need it to support myself through college. With that said, it will all be worth it once I finish college and can make good money programming. How many more years before you graduate? And once you're done do you have to do anything to maintain certification? I have two years remaining. And my counselor has my certification process all lined up, so as soon as I finish school, I will be on a fast track to being a certified programmer after college. That's the good thing about school is I already have a network building up for my future vocation, so I won't be starting from scratch.  That's awesome. It's so nice that you have a supportive counselor to help you out. Will you be getting your own place once you graduate or are you going to stick with the roommate? Well, I hope to get my own place as soon as I get a good job lined up. My roommate is chill and all, but I prefer my independence. Do you live alone or with someone else?
