an update
I hardly use livejournal anymore, I know, but I don't know, I suppose I'll put this out there if anyone cares to know (if you don't, it's fine). also, because I think I need to write it all out so I can see everything in front of me, and really decide how I am.
School is good, mostly. I really, really need to see the piano instructor to get my piano proficiency (sp?) taken care of, or I'm not graduating. I also have one more CLEP test to take, or I'm also not graduating. But if I get both of those out of the way, I will be finished with a bachelors in music in December. Awesome. My current classes are really interesting. First is Vocal Ped, the study of voice instruction. It's really almost an anatomy class, but a really useful anatomy class. I just had a test on the muscles of inhalation and exhalation, and currently we're studying to phisiology of the larynx. cool, eh? My form and analysis class is a form of theory that is actually challenging me. Right now, we're studying atonal set theory, which is really more math than anything truly musical. Finally, music for children III, which is interesting and challenging.
After graduating, I'm not totally sure what I'm going to do. I'm moving back to Fairbanks, which I'm pretty excited about. What I'm actually going to do there... well, I could work as a dental assistant for a bit, now that I have some solid training. I was also thinking about being a subsitute teacher, and maybe doing some temp work with a staffing company. don't worry, that's not my final career plans. I'm actually going to fly down to Utah to do an audition at BYU for a masters. If you didn't know, I've already been down to h ave a voice lesson with the faculty, and I was told that it looks really good to get one of the assistantships in Fall 2008. I'm really excited about it.
Which brings us to dear, old Jordan. Yeah, still waiting. Yes, I'm insane. I had a rough week, because I learned he had been telling people in Mongolia that he wouldn't be coming home until April 27 (I've been planning on Feburary). Yeah... that wasn't good. Anyway, come to find out, they don't do extensions that long anymore, and it looks like he'll probably be coming home early March. Not as good as Feburary 15, but better then April 27, by far.
Anyway, I thought there was more, but there isn't. There it is, all laid out... gosh, I hope I can make another 5 1/2 months.
