Been a while! I spent last weekend in Aberdeen. Not my idea of a good time but I was there for a competition. I didn't do as well as I wanted to in the classical division but I got 3rd place in the musical theater division. I'm so uncomfortable with that kind of music that I am just floored by the results. I wish I could have sung better in the finals round, but it turned out all right! USD did really well in the competition. Three 1st place, eight 2nd place, and one third place. Not too shabby!I got to talk to Dr. Bultema a little bit and it made me realize how much I miss her. I've come so far as a musician with Dr. Gesteland and don't regret the transfer at all. But I do miss the faculty at Northern. They are just amazing people. Dr. Bultema and I discussed having coffee sometime this summer and I really hope that happens. It would be nice to catch up.
Tomorrow is the hearing for my senior recital. In this process, I present my program and poster for the recital and the voice faculty pick pieces that they want to hear. I have to prove that I'm sufficiently prepared for my quickly approaching doom...I mean recital. I have to say...I'm not feeling very confident. It seems like at least one piece in each of my sets is incomplete. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow morning and afternoon to get ready. I'm crossing every part of my anatomy and begging the universe to let this go well. If you don't pass your hearing, you have to reschedule another hearing and/or move your recital. This isn't really an option for me because there is absolutely no time. Also, my family has already made hotel reservations and are planning to be here that weekend. I've dropped the ball and now I need to work well under pressure and pull some beautiful music out of you-know-where. I mean...nbd! I'm sure it will be fine...or I'll throw myself off of a high up structure. It will be great...or else...
Samcat is going back to the vet tomorrow to get her tooth pulled. I'm so sad for my hurting kitty. She has been really needy this week. You can tell she is in pain. She's grumpy and just wants to be held. It isn't like her and I just want her to feel better. Hopefully after that nasty tooth is out she'll be a brand new Samcat. I'm going to be a wreck for so many reasons tomorrow!
WITTY WEDNESDAY!!!
