very much to his disliking, santa spent all night hitch hiking...
Yes I know it's not Christmas yet. But gosh darn it, I am SO ready for it!! Thus, I will listen to Christmas music at the beginning of November.. and Relient K Christmas music at that. *nods head decidedly*
So... things have gotten a lot better since the beginning of the week. The situation hasn't changed, and probably won't (not unless God provides a miracle between now and... someday, which could happen).. and that still hurts me, but I'm much more at peace about it now than I was 4 days ago. So to those of you who prayed/are still praying... thank you.
I was going to write about this the other day, but... then I got upset and so that kind of overtook the rest of my thoughts. This past Sunday, me and two girls in my studio (two of my favorites I might add... Eranga and Shareese!) and Dr. Hay got to go up to Charlotte to OperaCarolina and see Madame Butterfly... and we got to go for $10 bc there was some big deal for students... and we got to sit in orchestra seats.. and they let Dr. Hay sit with us for $10, too!! And the best part.... one of Dr. Hay's former students was the Butterfly... and this particular student definitely sings at the Met as well. I looked her up the night before we went, and she's one of the most highly sought after sopranos in the world, apparently. (Her name's Kallen Esperian.) AND we got to meet her after the opera and get our picture taken with her... so when we left, I was like "Um... does anyone besides me feel like the most priveleged person in the world? bc I definitely just hugged a celebrity!" (Yes, that's right, she didn't shake our hands... she hugged us!) It was pretty much a big deal. And afterwards I just thought you know... I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to do this had I gone to FSU. I know I wouldn't be able to say "Yeah- the Butterfly up there? She sings at the Met AND she took from my voice teacher... which kind of means that Dr. Hay is a celebrity, too..." I mean Kallen did mention Dr. Hay in a Met interview one time... how cool is that?! And then I just have to ask God why in the heck He loves me so much that I got to actually GO! Regardless, I'm really glad... God is so cool. Even though sometimes... like Monday for example... I really don't understand His plans... but I guess I'm not supposed to... once again, I have trust issues.
Then (as if that's not enough) I figured out on Monday/Tuesday-ish... I'm kind of related to Dr. Hay. (!!!!!!!!!!!!) So, my mom's maiden name is Hay, right? Right... and it's spelled the same way, which isn't really common. My mom went up and talked to Dr. Hay after the concert on Monday night and they were talking... and Dr. Hay told me on Tuesday that my mom definitely favors her ex-husband's side of the family.... so, I'm not TOTALLY positive that we're related through her ex-husband, but it seems likely... which is totally cool. I KNEW I liked her! (Plus she makes her own jewelry/clothes and calls skinny jeans sexy pants... and for a 70 year old, she can book it on the interstate.)
And tonight is Skit/Dance night of 1889 and it's gonna be hilarious. And tomorrow is Powderpuff Football... which should be good... (obviously, I will be watching...) and tomorrow night is the dance which means that Anna and I are going to Greenville to get the guys/eat and it's gonna be amazing.
And next week.... LEXI AND I ARE MOVING IN TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just don't know what day yet. But as long as everything actually works out.... that's gonna be amazing, too...
And next Friday I'm singing in the Student Recital.... and I'm already nervous. But I'm singing good stuff which I actually managed to memorize this week, so that's happy.
So today's just generally good. :)
End.
