Elisabeth brought up the musical theater recital during my lesson today. I hate the genre more and more with each passing day, but it gives me the warm fuzzies when Elisabeth says she wants me to have performance opportunities, plus "Poor wand'ring one" is in my so-called musical theater anthology, so I'm going to be in the recital. It's great that I can sing an opera aria in a musical theater recital, but I do worry that the integrity of it is being compromised.
And that is one of my huge problems. I take the field too seriously. I worry that taking on something which affects me so deeply, for my career, could do me in emotionally.
Speaking of breakdowns... I e-mailed a professor tonight asking for an extension. She appears to have been lenient with students in another class, and I've done well in the class so far, but I don't know what her answer will be.
I can't be this student forever. I can't be asking for extensions every semester. Well, I suppose I could, but it sure wouldn't make me happy. It's humiliating to make a request like that.
