I hear in my mind. . . all this music
The musical has gotten substantially better in the last few days. I've decided that I like Act II so much better than Act I because Rosie is openly criticizing the way Albert treats her instead of ignoring it and just taking it. "English Teacher" in kind of the bane of my existence in the show right now. Not only does it have the most evil key signature I've ever seen (seriously, why does C-flat have to exist?!!), but it's also at a really weird place in my range near my first bridge so I'm never quite sure whether or not to belt the B-flats or go into head voice. Furthermore, the style my voice teacher wants me to do it in and the way Schert wants me to do it are totaly different. Though, I figured out that my voice teacher's way sounds so much better because I'm actually warmed-up properly when I do it. The warm-ups we do before rehearsal aren't enough to get me to my full potential at all. Choreographing the Shriners' scene today was hilarious xD. It's not quite as scandalous as last year's sex dance but it's a lot funnier. I don't think I could adequately explain it in words. You all will just have to see it :p.
I'm really not looking forward to the stat test and spanish quiz tomorrow. I also still have to pack for my weekend trip to San Diego.
Hal introduced everyone on his floor to WoW and is now the only person there who isn't addicted to it. He is thoroughly amused. For Valentines Day he made reservations at Sapporo (yummy!) and I'm making him some boysenberry pie. . . his favorite. He got a part-time job at a mortgage firm and an internship with town council. He's turning into some sort of corporate prodigy. I'm quite proud of him. Tuesday evening he stopped by school on his way to a town council meeting and he was wearing a suit and looked really spiffy. I had also just finished one of the most miserable rehearsals of my life so seeing him made me a lot happier.
I'm, about 97% certain that I'm going to Barrett Honors College next year. The more I look into it, the more I realize that it has everything I want in a college. I love that I'd get priority registration for all the classes I want and will be in lots of tiny seminar-style classes like at a small liberal arts college. But at the same time, I'll get all of the amenities of a big school (more classes to choose from, nationally-recognized professors, more research facilities, football games, and kickass parties) with all of the niceties of a small school. They also have by far the most awesome anthro program of any of the schools that I've looked at. Since I've spent so much time at ASU over the past couple of years between dating Hal and doing research for Martin papers, the place has really started to grow on me. I love the laid-back atmosphere on campus and all of the cool things to do in Tempe. I also love that even though it's a freaking huge school, it doesn't seem impersonal. Now if only I could get the damn housing application to work. . . .X_X
I should read "Hamlet". . ha
. . . and pack
