<p>musicamusica,
You sound experienced at this… any suggestions how to pass the time, because between the wine and the chocolate, it’s getting scary around here…my dog is getting ready to stage an intervention! :-)</p>
<p>Hey tenormama…whatever drives you in the direction of wine or chocolate can’t be all bad.</p>
<p>Maybe that’s why the mailman looks so nervous lately…perhaps we should stop lurking in the shrubbery and leaping out the minute he puts something in the box?</p>
<p>LOL! It’s not enough that our letter carriers have to worry about over-protective canines…now they also have to negotiate over-anxious musician moms strung out on wine and chocolate… oh no… what have we become??? I think I used to have a life…</p>
<p>musicamusica, yeah, I guess whatever gets us through the day, but I’m buyin’ stock in Hershey’s if what you say is true and this is a “taste” of the future…</p>
<p>still no one heard from SFCM?! arghh</p>
<p>Welcome, angsty cellist. Mother of notably unangsty singer here; maybe he’s faking it. I on the other hand feel like mutilating view books.</p>
<p>I might add that my oldest and dearest friend, a psychologist, has in the nicest way suggested that I may have some, ahem, boundary issues. Who, moi?</p>
<p>Sopranorose, do you know if BoCo is sending their decisions this week via e-mail or snail mail?</p>
<p>There’s some diagnosis involved here too, i’m sure ;-)</p>
<p>well. i guess my posting here doesn’t really go well with this thread, but decided put it up anyway. </p>
<p>so… I had an audition at MSM on March 3rd (master of music, violin performance). I contacted my first choice teacher about a month prior to the audition, and was supposed to meet her at 2pm. The meeting was set up mainly because she indicated in our first email that she wanted to meet me and talk for a while after the audition. I was at the lobby an hour before the meeting (I didn’t really have anything to do, because my audition was done at 10am), waited for her for about 2 hours, and she never showed up. I emailed her right before I had to leave to get to the airport, and also left my phone number for her to contact me. I didn’t hear anything back from her for 6days, so I sent her an another email about 4 days ago. Still nothing!
This is very weird and disappointing, because she seemed like she was very interested in meeting me at least on the email. I don’t think my audition went horribly (not as good as some of the other auditions this year, but went well overall), and I also know some of her students who’s been telling me that she is a very nice person.
I am still waiting to hear back from her, but nothing makes sense to me right now. I didn’t do anything that could have been offensive to her, and it doesn’t make sense for someone to not check his email for 2 weeks. Even if she didn’t like my playing during the audition, I still think she should have showed up for the meeting she set up.
I think it’s possible that she just forgot about the meeting since she is usually extremely busy, but don’t understand why she has been ignoring my emails.</p>
<p>I decided to go to NEC (The prof. I want to study with emailed me and told me that he would accept me), so it doesn’t really matter that much anymore I guess. However, I am still wondering what is actually going on, and am still hoping that she is not doing this intentionally. </p>
<p>If anybody has an experience similar to this, feel free to let me know. All the results are supposed to be out by April 1st, and it’s kind of depressing to feel like i’ve already got my rejection letter from this professor.</p>
<p>aychoi84, something similar happened to my daughter with a teacher at a different school. After a number of email exchanges, he told her he would see her for a lesson, but then the email trail went cold and he never responded to schedule it, despite several attempts on her part. At least she wasn’t waiting for him in the lobby like you were.</p>
