In exciting college kid events, I got some free groceries from a guest at the hotel. Ended up that he had to return instead of staying for the month and he gave me his groceries, sweet! There are no better words to a college student/poor musician than the words free and food...and especially when they are put together!
Despite the load I've taken on and how impossible it seems, I know that God will help me through it. I've gone through much worse than a busy schedule in my lifetime and had battles that have challenged me to the last piece of my soul, and God has help me overcome them. So I know I will succeed. I really do just love the simple gifts in life and they are truly what enrich our souls. I'm not saying that grand events in our lives don't, but if you look for the small gifts each day brings, you will be amazed how truly blessed your life is.
Tomorrow I have a possible new voice student. It will be his first lesson, so here's hoping that I can add another one too my list. I love teaching, can't help it. I love it and performing equally. On another teaching note, I've taken on a church conducting job for St.Andrews for the summer. I know that there is very limited musical abilities at this church, but I'm still excited just to work with people who want to sing. I am loving picking out the music as well. As far as I'm concerned, God only said make a joyful noise...he didn't specify beyond that :)
I'm excited for my shift to end in about 2 hours so I can go home and sleep....I've can't remember being so excited about sleep in my life! 3-4 hours a night doesn't cut it, that's for sure. And tomorrow I get to clean my apartment and do laundry! You can tell you've reached a phase of adulthood when you are excited about clean clothes and a clean home, crimeny!
On an added plus, I'm excited about shows for WSU's opera season next year. We are doing Cosi Fan Tutte and L'enfant et les sortilèges which will be paired up with another one act. I am really hoping that I can play Despina again, it was such a fun role and I would love to rework it with Pina. I'm slightly worried that they might cast me as Fiordiligi because for some freakish reason...We have NO sopranos?! What is up with that?! That defies all laws of singing nature! But point being I'm not ready to sing Fiordiligi for at least another 10 years...mer....So here's hoping that I can sing Despina :) She's like an old friend that I keep learning more about. And on that note....here's a few photos from my last Despina performance :) Next update will include information about my Senior recital material :) EEE!
Oh the chocolate!
