I just never write in this thing anymore
Well so much has happend since I last updated this thing in the middle of the summer.
I did get my tonsils taken out, not the best time with it, bleeding on airplanes, having to get knocked back out and almost loosing my legs from the bad reactions.
Scott and I have broken up because of the whole college thing...it's hard cuz i still obviously have a lot of feelings for him...but it's just too hard with everything else going on.
I am finally at college. It's pretty awesome, everyone here for the most part is soo talented. I love living in a city, I just wish I had more money. But, thats besides the point. Living away from home really isn't that bad. I miss people there, mostly john cuz we don't get to chill as much anymore, obviously. I miss my parents and brother too, but not really to be honest. I mean i'm so busy with school and everything. I really need to start to work harder here too. I can't wait till next year when I live in an apartment, I know I'm going to do so much better, just all the way around. Now that it's around midterms i am finally adjusted for the most part, it's hard to adjust to a conservatory and how much work we have. I am learning a lot and I think I'm getting a lot better all around as a musician. It's hard to really tell progress though, I know that this summer I'll go home and be like shit...I learned a lot, but as for now it's hard to really see a lot of progress.
I ended up withdrawing from my piano class, just because I didn't really belong in the class I was in. I really need to take piano lessons this summer...This summer I'd really like to take a modern class and a ballet class and then piano lessons and probably coach with cheryl...possibly arden too. The one thing I really learned by going here is what good teachers I really had at home. Technique wise my teacher here has not found really any habits. The only thing he really works on with me is getting my voice bigger and more focused. i wish he did more exercises with me, but I guess in college they expect u to already come vocalesed and just to work on color and stuff like that. Having my tonsils out i think has made my voice broader and not as young sounding. I sound much older now. Although i don't notice the biggest difference in my voice, I feel like my voice is getting older, and thats about it.
I have a big ass translation exam tomorrow for all my jury pieces. Pretty much every semester we have juries...and if u fail a jury ur put on artistic probation...and if u fail again...pretty much they kick u out. It's fine though, I mean there is no reason why you shouldnt know ur pieces. tomorrow, they test our knowledge orally of the translations word for word, english to language and language to english, phrases, meanings of words in the content, background of piece and composer, and general overall poetic meaning. The only thing that makes it hard, is it's oral...so like you need to know your shit so well. The first translation exam i had in preparation for our italian art song recital, I got an A- on. I was a little surprised I did so well, but I'm not complaining. I'm hoping tomorrow goes equally as well.
I have theory in like 3 hours, I'm such a failure hahah...I think I'm getting pink eye, and I haven't studied enough tonight...fuck me in the ass and goodnight
joey
