Work, Summer, Opera, and Sexy Saturday

I got a second job! I'll be working at Stream Global Services taking customer service calls for AT&T. Not exactly by dream job, but it sure will pay the bills. And it is guaranteed full time. I have to iron out a few schedule kinks with Walmart but I don't think it will be so bad. The plan for the summer is to make as much money as humanly possible. I read my lease and it turns out that I don't have to move out until July 15. This is so much more convenient than June 15 and I'm ecstatic that I read it incorrectly in the first place. So then I just have to decide if I want to move to Chicago at the end of July or find a place to sublease until September. I'm not nearly as worried about my work situation as I was though.

Summer is a week away and I'm so happy to be graduating. The idea of taking a break from school is the best feeling in the entire world. I want to enjoy the summer more than I usually do. I want to spend time with my friends and go places and see things. I've never had so many options as I do now.
I still need to practice and find a teacher but if that's the hardest thing I have to do this summer...I'll take it! I still have quite a few things to do before I get to summer. I have a paper to finish and I need to finish the choral library. The choral library is going to be ridiculously time consuming but I don't mind the work that much. After spending a week in a stuffy closet filled with choral masterpieces, I will walk across a stage set up in the middle of the Dome and accept my fake degree and be deemed an official person with real live skills. I'm not sure what those skills are yet, but according to that rolled piece of blank paper, I have them. Yay!

THE OPERA IS TONIGHT! I'm so excited. This is a moment we have been waiting so many months for...so many years for! It looks like we are going to have a really nice sized audience and we are singing well. The orchestra sounds great. The set looks amazing. The costumes are done. The dancers are dancey. Everything is ready. Downbeat is at 7:30 tonight and I won't be able to sit still until then. My parents and my grandma are on their way here as we speak. We're going to fix my car and enjoy a night at the opera. I can't think of a better way to spend a day. The opera fun doesn't end for me after tonight either. Tomorrow after work, I'm headed to Sioux Falls for my Magic Flute audition. Perhaps I just haven't gotten around to it yet in light of everything else that's going on, but I'm not nervous. I'm sure I'll be quivering like a baby bird tomorrow but for now, I feel pretty confident. If I don't get the job, it will just be one of many rejections I'll have to deal with. So I'm just going  to go into it with confidence and positivity and hope for the best. Now that I've done a fully staged production, I'm a little hooked and don't want to stop now. Let's keep the good times rolling!

SEXY SATURDAY!!!

This week I am going back to the basics of sexy. And nobody sets the standards of sexy like Brad Pitt!

This newly engaged hottie has always been on the radar. Generations of girls have drooled over his yummy body and equally yummy acting choices. From the first time I saw him shirtless in Thelma & Louise, I've been hooked! Movies like Interview with the Vampire, Se7en, Fight Club, The Mexican, Ocean's 11, 12, and 13, Troy, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Babel, Burn After Reading, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Inglourious Basterds, and the recent Moneyball have only made him more and more dear to my lust filled heart. He is also a humanitarian. He donated $5 million to Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans and has visited a lot of worldwide areas in need with his fiance, the jaw-dropping Angelina Jolie. He has about 3 million children with names that nobody can keep straight. Some of them are his and some of them are adopted. The fact that he wants to take in needy children makes him even more sexy. He has had some not so good looks throughout the years but his default is staggeringly hot even at 50 years of age. William Bradley Pitt, I bow down to your chiseled body and sexy jawline. You are the reigning king of my dirty girl dreams.
