I am actually half your age, but still past school age, and one of my strongest desires is to go to a music school too. I went to the Uni and studied something else (languages), which I really liked, but then suddenly a
strong urge to study music entered me, almost an obsession, and I bought so many instruments in just a few years! I now LIVE for music and would really like to go to a music school. My local Conservatorium is small, but very friendly from what I have heard, and I think it would be so cool! I have been playing with the thought for quite a while now too...

Anyway, I really think you did the
right thing and I am even a little bit jealous
