Today was really annoying for reasons totally unlike yesterday's reasons. It was really just a series of annoyances from beginning to end, and I was way too cranky today to handle that well. I got to school late and didn't get to warm up before my coaching. Scene study was RIDICULOUS for several reasons, namely some people's need to make it all about them when I'm the one singing. ("I don't like your choice there" is NOT an ok thing to say in that setting! It's not your aria, b*tch! Also, if you're basically a living prop for me, don't steal focus every 10 seconds and make the entire aria about you!!) I went straight from Scene Study to Vocal Lit (aka art song class), where I was supposed to sing. Of course, no one seems to have any time management skills, so the first person singing got an hour (literally) and I got 6 minutes (3 of which were after class time when half the people had already left). Mind you, the class is 2.5 hours long, so I don't understand how 6 people can't sing and have a brief work session in 150 minutes, even with some lecturing. Get a frickin stopwatch or something!
Anyway, it was just a long, stupid day overall. It did end pretty well, though.. Alexis and Maddy and I went to Pho (so good!!) and got pho and bubble tea (I'm a new junkie even though I always thought it looked gross), then I came home and watched Project Runway and the Daily Show and did nothing. It was a fabulous evening :)
I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. My main source of anxiety is really my inability to sing. I'm going to give the church job a couple more weeks before I make a decision, because I think the extra rehearsing may have been the real issue. Maybe the normal schedule won't be such a problem.. it wasn't last week. That, and I really, really need the money. $120 for 4 hours on a Sunday is pretty persuasive.
I hate to complain, but really, most days are wonderful and I'm just venting here when things are less than perfect. Thanks for listening, all :-)
