almost there

I am just about finished for the semester, and I am really excited! I passed my recital jury, so that's a go, and I just passed my last few scales singing tests (they were all of the modes, pentatonic, octatonic, and whole-tone)and all I have left is my cells test. (For anyone interested, that's a test based on being able to sing random intervals at the drop of a hat.)

I will have a few finals, and those are happening at the same time as the Carmina Burana concerts with the symphony, as well as my moving out of my apartment at school.

2 weeks after that, I go back to school for a course called "intensified french" I am taking an entire year (2 semesters, or 32 weeks) of french in just 10 weeks. It shall be interesting.

Anyway, life should be interesting for the next few weeks!

Throwing in the towel

I am kinda giving up on the color blogging thing.

I never seem to have the time or the drive to actually sit down and do it, and with the schedule I have had lately, and will continue to have in the near future, I just don't see it happening.
From the time we started our dress rehearsal week for Haydn's Creation on May 10, I did not have a free day until this Monday, May 31. I had a major rehearsal, or a Symphony concert, or a church concert, or Opera rehearsal, or opera performance, or a major project to do, or a recital to prepare for (which I am still doing), or a trip to Chicago, or SOMETHING!!!
This week, I have dedicated a few extra hours to preparing the rep for my upcoming recital in the beginning of May, as well as the singing tests I desperately need to pass.

You know those cute t-shirts that say "I can't, I have rehearsal"? Well, I need one that says "I can't, my life is rehearsal"!

Oh well, at least after this semester I only have a big summer load and about a year or two left, and then grad school...yeah, never mind, I'm in school for forever!!!
