YAY! It has been a great day, vocally speaking at least.
I sang in studio today and even I was happy with how it sounded. Of course, my diction will always need a little work, Harrell herself even said that it was just this fantastic sound coming out of me. It's nice when I ACTUALLY sing, she says! Ha!
Also, I had a coaching with Seitz over two of the Papageno aria's (we are doing "The Magic Flute" next semester) and that went fantastic. Now, I may be crazy (and who is to say that I am not!) but I think I have a REALLY good shot at getting the role of Papageno. I tell ya what... if I can go into auditions and sing like I did today (or better even), then I really won't even care too much about what role I get because I am FINALLY noticing and hearing this drastic improvment in my voice... and it's about time!
Thanks Mrs. Harrell! And Trent! And Crabb! And Seitz!
Heck, thanks to L. Lang who helped me a bit last year too ;-)
Good mood today or what? Hope all is well for... well.. whoever reads this. Ciao!

It Has Just Been One Of Those Days

I Am So Silly
But seriously. Do you ever get upset or frustrated at a situation over which you have no control and then get upset at yourself for getting upset. OK, maybe it's just me.
Without going into any detail, I have decided (a while ago actually) to take this negative energy and spin it around so that it will benefit me in the near future. Positive thinking, right? It's really hard to do sometimes, but I know that I just have to keep working that much harder and eventually it will pay off.
In other news, I am thinking of having a party for you next semester. That's right, for YOU! :-) A party in honor of all of the wonderful people in my life. Hopefully you will be able to attend (date is TBA)!

So Here's The Part Where You Make Your Choice
Like it or not (and I do like it) we have a brand new president in Barack Obama.
Last night was a night I will remember for a very long time. Listening to Barack speak, I became overwhelmed with emotions and I felt compelled to go out and help my community, my peers and my country. I finally have a sense of pride for our country again (go for it "gotcha media", spin my words to make me a freedom hating bum!).
The past few months have been truly inspriring and not just from Mr. Obama but from my generation. Never have I seen my peers become so truly excited or involved in something that is so important for our country. It was amazing seeing people my age get out there and campaign, knock on doors and encourage other people our age to actually vote. I feel I can speak on behalf of all of my peers and say we are not as apathetic as older generations would like to think. This election has sparked life back into my generation and never have I been so proud.
We really do have the power now... we really do have the capability to achieve our dreams and to succeed in any and every aspect of life.
We are the future, every single of one us. Make your choice.
Are you ready to be strong?
