Aaaand Im writing an entry. Crazy, I know. But I've been grounded from the internet at mom's house and this is my first time at dad's in about three weeks. Not much has happened, and then a lot has happened. Mom and Bob are married, hooray! And the Scene Concert went really well... I didnt screw up as bad as I thought I would (although I still have HORRIBLE singing posture, Ive GOT to keep those shoulders back...)
In other news - though still pretty much related - I auditioned Friday for an internship with the Virginia Opera (known as the STAR program). If Im accepted, I'll be singing as a chorister in one of three operas that VAO is performing next season. Im so nervous, ack. I auditioned with "The Black Swan" from Menotti's The Medium and I didn't do too horribly, so... and out of the 11 that auditioned, they'll be accepting 9. If I get in (*crosses fingers*) I want to do La Traviata. I absolutely love the music, and the story is beautiful as well... ah. *smiles happily* Norma would also be great, as I love bel canto. I'm not too great at SINGING it ( :S ), as I'm not the most agile singer, but... and I do. Not. Want. To. Do. Romeo et Juliette. I hate singing in French. SO bad. So yes, Traviata or Norma. *hums happily* But oh I hope they pick me. This is the last year I'll have the opportunity.
Research papers suck. Hey, does anyone know a lot about Othello? Not plot-wise, but critical things like metaphors, imagery, symbolism, that sort of thing? I got special permission to use electronic sources (meaning internet), which is much cool because no one else is allowed... but the teacher says that I'm advanced enough to cite an electronic source properly. And I damn well should be, this is my fifth research paper in MLA format. True, I never actually turned in the paper in 8th grade or Honors 9, but still... *sheepish grin* Hooray for SparkNotes, which is great for crtical analysis of stuff.
My birthday's on Wednesday... I didn't ask for much. Some spring-y clothes (since I have no pairs of shorts I can wear out of the house, and only one dressy skirt), two rolls of film developed, and a three-ring hole punch. Yes, I actually asked for a three-ring hole punch fo rmy birthday. With all the music I have and keep getting )and NONE OF IT IS HOLE-PUNCHED) and I keep misplacing it... I need to put it in a binder, but there lies the problem. So I'm fairly sure I"m going to get at least three hole-punches. *grins* Nice.
I think Im going to paste this in my LJ, Dland, Xanga, and Myspace... just because I haven't updated any of them in so long (or, in the case of Myspace, ever). So sorry if you see this in more than one place (hey whoa my computer just randomly said "MAIL TRUCK!" which is weird). Was originally intended for LJ only. |
