Learning about Libraries.
This is the subject of today's Technological Solutions class. We were supposed to have the librarian come in and give a speech of a power point to teach us how to use our library. He didn't show up, so our teacher, who is not really a teacher, though I'm sure he's very smart when he's dealing with computers, is now reading the powerpoint to us. Yeah. It's times like these when I'm so glad HOPE is paying for this class, because I'd be really pissed that I had to waste this kind of time AND pay out-of-pocket for it. I'm sorry, but there are some things people should know before they get to college, and, if they don't, they should learn it their freshman year. I'm an effing SENIOR! I've WRITTEN research papers! I know the difference between a factual document and an analytical one! I should be exempt, is all I'm saying.
Anyway. I sang way too much yesterday because I practiced on my own an hour, practiced with Singers and hour, and lost track of time with Janie Lee and practiced with her an hour. So I had to be honest with Mr. Coleman and tell him that my voice was tired. He was actually pretty cool about it and didn't over work me. I actually had a very good lesson. And then he asked me if I had a church gig this year. So I told him I was still doing the early morning First Pres. gig...and then I had to go and be honest and tell him I'm singing at the late service at St. Luke. Damnit. He was NOT happy, and he told poor Trey who had just come into his lesson that he wouldn't be allowing me any slack if I came in with a tired voice again.
I don't know. I mean, I really want to make more money so I can save it for Middlebury next year. And the only time I have to make money right now is working gigs at churches. We don't HAVE any other time as music majors! But, at the same time, I really want to use this year to build repertoire and IMPROVE. I know I can't be guarenteed real improvement because a lot of it has to do with my body, but building repertoire is something I can do, and I worry that I won't really be able to do that if I'm always wearing out my voice.
GRR!
So I think I'll try this out for about a month, and if it's just too much, I'll stop. How about that? I hate having to make decisions like this.
