How does she maintain that kind of projection and clarity while being wrestled to the ground? I'd love to learn ( Read more... )

Have started on "Non so piu cosa son" from Figaro...it makes "Voi, che sapete" (the other Cherubino aria I'm working up) look like Mary had a little lamb. I get to be a horny, lovesick teenage boy, though, so that's kind of fun. :-D ( Read more... )

I didn't go to work. I should have. I'm going to regret it next Thursday when my check comes in, but it just seemed so much nicer to stay at home with my husband and chill. Maybe this is my brain's reaction to the knowledge that after this week, I'll be returning to work 32 hours a week. 8 hour days all over again. Ugh ( Read more... )

I think that this is going to be a really good decision for me, and it makes a helluva lot more sense than spending another 3 years spinning my wheels in another bachelors program ( Read more... )

And that word is DENIED. My appeal to the financial aid folks at UofL for access to student loans for the duration of my 2nd degree has been denied. I've been told I can appeal higher in the chain, but at this point, I'm not too optimistic ( Read more... )

Hard to believe that another week has flown by. It's stopped raining again, and the sun is out, which is good for my garden, but I was really enjoying the wind whipping all of the new leaves around in the storms yesterday ( Read more... )

I've been working on my schedule for next fall, and was dismayed to realize that I will be taking 12 classes next fall. My schedule looks like a pretty, pretty rainbow.
