Hi, I’m Angela and apparently, I don’t sleep. I don’t know why I’m up right now at 2:00 AM doing this blog post. I’m going to feel like a zombie tomorrow. I shouldn’t complain, though, because even during the summertime I would stay up till 2 AM for no reason whatsoever. I guess I’m just a night person.
I like how quiet it is at night, when the whole house is asleep except for you. It’s also the best time to listen to music, because you can hear every last detail. Music is the most beautiful thing to me. I went to Laguardia High School, where I majored in instrumental flute music, and it has just changed me forever. I remember when I was in the 9th grade, I told my mom that if I could be anything, I would be a professional flutist in an orchestra. However, after seeing so many Juilliard concerts and getting more exposed to music, I realized how competitive the music industry is, and how you truly have to be a prodigy to make it, unless you want to end up as a “starving artist”.
So here I am at Baruch. I’ve realized that I do have other interests besides music. I’m interested in the field of business, and I want to understand how the global economy works. I like a fast-paced environment, and hope to travel and work overseas one day. I haven’t given up on the flute yet. My ideal life would be to have the best of both worlds, to work in business full time while being involved in a community orchestra during the weekend or something.
It is my dream to be able to play the Chaminade Concertino perfectly one day; it’s what I practice nowadays in my spare time in the kitchen when I’m waiting for the pot of water to boil so I can make soup. (I hate wasting time) I’m a very open-minded person, especially when it comes to music. I’m not a religious person at all, and yet I think the Chichester Psalm 23 is stunning. I really do listen to everything.
