So here's the deal: I didn't place in the competition. But it's okay. It was an amazing experience, and it really is an honor to make the final round of the competition. I found out that 35 people auditioned, so I figure that at the very least I got 12th out of 35. But there's something more important than that:
Music is everything in my life (next to God, which is a given). Therefore, competition--in any form--is irrelevant. It's nice to win (or place), but if someone is absorbed only in the competition aspect of things, then it's entirely meaningless. Music is everything, and anything else gets in the way.
I may elaborate on this topic at some point in my life, but right now I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed. Updates on what I'll be doing for this semester will come next week. And believe me--there is much to do!

Well, congrats. Perhaps it isn't as great as you wanted, but you certainly have an edge over the competition in you mindset - that's a huge accomplishment.
Sarcastic me would like to say: you need a girl
Serious me would like to say: have a good semester, and save homeward journeying.
Ciao,

At least it was a good experience, and you know you did your best. I think you should be satisfied with what you've accomplished.
