Finally out of the stoneage!

I was pretty excited about a week and a half ago when my father presented me with a little 1 gig mp3 player because I have wanted one forever... or let me be more specific, I wanted an Ipod forever. A year ago, I asked for one for months before christmas and then my sister got one instead. Anyway, I took the new toy with a smile on my face and convinced myself that I would be just as happy with my little imitation..I had it for a week and I wasn't. It had it's own AAA battery that I had to change, the sound wasn't the best, and it just wasn't an Ipod. I came home for the weekend, and my daddy surprised me with a 20 GB white Ipod that he got for me! I wanted to do a backflip. It is an older version that he got used off of ebay (no color screen, and a little bigger) but hey... DUDE, I HAVE A FREAKIN' IPOD!

Aaaaaahhhhhhh - leluia!

Ok, I am NEVER nervous about vocal things, singing for friends, audiences, auditions, nothing. But I just found out that the auditions for the solos in my choir's december performance of Handel's Messiah (pt.1) are in 9 days on the 20th. I have that much time to get my hands on a copy and learn the solos I have heard but still don't know well at all. The problem is that the entire choir leaves for Kansas city to do some clinics and perform at the Renaissance festival until saturday, so I can't even get a copy until Sunday! Talk about power sightreading! The copy of the music in our library is already gone, and my director doesn't have any copies for us, so any musical people out there know where I can get one or better yet,anyone have one (christian?).

On a lighter note, I can't wait for this weekend, I get to sing, shop, and sleep, my 3 favorite things to do!
