YES!  The long-awaited for Friday has arrived!  And my weekend is shaping up to be pretty damn busy ( Read more... )

I should have known when I saw how bad my skin looked this morning that something was up.  And sheesh!  I've been nauseous (or nauseated, or whatever the proper term is) all day.  Blech.  And who knows what it was from?  The feast we had last night on my date (which went very well, btw, and I may just update about later -- and yes, Soo, you will ( Read more... )

I haven't written in awhile, so here goes.

I bought a thermos at the Columbia Outlet in Portland for $10, and it's been so nice to bring yummy tea with me to work every day.  Today I brought a blend of white pear tear and rooibos "rose garden," -- so yum!

I got the MOST RIDICULOUS email from someone on match.com earlier this week.  Here it is, no ( Read more... )

Well, the first day of Chamber Singers was only 15 minutes long for us girls.  And that was my lunch break.  Bummer.

So, do I just leave work 45 minutes early, or enjoy the rest of my lunch break?

Wait, why am I even asking?  SOOOO leave work early!!!

I am beat.  This week has been completely and totally killer.  I've work multiple hours of overtime to compensate for multiple hours of extra choir rehearsals.  I've written two papers and finished a project for my conducting class.  I've been in a huge concert, AND I still managed to go out with the girls last night.  I've had AT LEAST 12 hour ( Read more... )

I know this is really short notice, but I hope you can come!  The Respighi in particular is an extraordinarily beautiful piece!

Man oh man I wish it was 40 minutes from now.  Even 35, when I could justify packing up.  Staying at work until 6 on Tuesday and Thursday really kicks my ass ( Read more... )

And we wondered why we had 120 people come to our Summer Chorale Concert...

It was listed as The Stranger's Best Classical Music bargain of the week...  Go us!

Today ended up being just FINE!  My conducting final went really well -- except that my hands stubbornly insisted on playing both an F in the bass line and an F# in the soprano line at the end ( Read more... )

Ok, just get through the next almost two days and then I'm good to go nearly stress-free until like, the middle of September.

First: manage to somehow practice conducting a bit before my lesson
Second: have lesson, get videotaped
Third: frantically get everything ready for tomorrow's orientation, which includes making folders of information (which ( Read more... )
