Namaste. I won. So, yeah. Happiness abounds. And so life is back to normal, right? No more worrying about the audition. No more stressing about a performance. Uh, not really. While I am chuffed and quite floored about winning, it also means that I must keep working on the Shostakovich for another, well, maybe four months. And then I have ( Read more... )

Namaste. So. I've figured out the most professional/reasonable outfit for the competition tomorrow. The competition TOMORROW. Oh, God, how did it get to be tomorrow? Wasn't it a month away? Or even just a week away? Why is it tomorrow? I'm trying with all my might not to freak out. I can't tell if it's working. I'm not feeling incredibly ( Read more... )

Namaste. Just took a quiz thingy that was something like "Your High School Stereotype is . . ." and it gave me stoner. Hmmmm. Well, certainly not in high school. Never smoked or drank, and didn't even really know anyone else did. And now? Not by a long shot, but still quite humorous none-the-less. Roger asked me last night what smoking pot ( Read more... )

Namaste.Loads of singing. Loads. Worked on resonance and breathing. I'm so happy and hopeful. The only thing is, I think horn messes with my breathing, and that's scary.

Namaste. Life is returning to normal, slowly but surely. I've been practicing quite regularly, which is quite nice. Maybe I'll actually get back into the routine of going to the YMCA frequently. I sure enjoyed that, and I hate the thought of having a membership and not using it. Useless waste of money ( Read more... )

Namaste. Today was a great day, aside from the title's reference. First day of classes, so it was way easy. And I love my new Monday schedule. Andrea is in my German class, so that will be much fun, and the professor seems really cool. Excited much. Aural skills will suck, again, because Dr. S. Cole (pronounced "dr. skole", eerily similar to ( Read more... )

Namaste. Back in Ashland, and boy! is it fabulous to be back. I am finally home. After 8-9 hours of driving today, I immediately went and practiced for 1.5 hours. It felt fantastic, and although my neck is really sore, I welcome it. I've missed piano so much ( Read more... )
