Today I ran 2 miles in 20 minutes.

And the best thing is that it wasn't even that bad.

I was fine.

I wasn't super winded or anything.

I felt like it was just a normal run.

*grins*

Somebody start filling out the paperwork for Sainthood because I just performed a MIRACLE!

Cheers!

So. Much. Music.

I have a lot of music to learn.

I have a CRAP TON of music to study for my Baroque final in 2 (3?) weeks. Which I need to start studying for NOW because it's that horrible. (Think somwhere in the vincinity of 8hrs of music?)
I cannot communicate to you all the terrifying awfull distilled hell that is a test in that Baroque class. I have never in all my years of Academia experienced something this horrible.
She's one of those teachers that thinks a 'C' is doing 'really good'. So she builds the class around the expectation of all the good students getting Cs.
NO, I say, NO!
That is WRONG!
That is NOT the way to arrange a class!
NOT. ACCEPTABLE.

Anyway.
There's nothing I can do about it, and soon it will be done forever.
So...yay!

I have a lot of music to learn for juries, and opera workshop auditions, and Minnesota Opera Chorus auditions....
And it seems like I'm getting new music every week.
Which I have to memorize almost instantiously.

and -

I MUST memorize my music for Ozarks.
That has to be done in the next two weeks.
MUST be done.

*bangs head against wall*

Not to mention everything else that continues to go on around me.

I just - ...There's no way to get ahead of all this stuff.

Engaging panic mode.

*runs around with muppet arms flailing*

Cheers.

Glee slushie to the face

Hello all!

So.......This week has been rough so far.
And it's only Tuesday night.

My vocal technique isn't where it should be.
Which is unbelievably frustrating to me.
I can't seem to get my DAMN voice to do what I want it to do! (pardon my french)

And Bag keeps telling me that the voice simply has to sit. It just has to!
I. am. trying.
I am trying so hard.
And I am so fed up with myself.
Why can't I do this?!
Why won't my stupid throat muscles retain anything?!?!

I feel like I try and try so hard at everything and it's all coming out shoddy.
*sigh*

I just would like to feel like I'm good at something again.

Some positive reinforcement would be awesome about now.

*sigh*
Cheers.

Jogging, jogging, jogging, keep them dawggies jogging!

Jogging, jogging, jogging!

RawHIDE!

Heheh.

Ok.

I'm done now.

Today is day 2 of the jogging adventure.

2.06 miles in 28min.

Half jogging, half speedwalking.

Oy my poor muscles! How they do ache!

Anyway.

I'm loving my running shoes.
I've never had 'running' shoes specifically, I've always just excercised in regular tennis shoes and I must say, it makes all the difference in the world.

My feet don't hurt.

My joints don't hurt.

It's all good.

(except the muscles....Poor muscles!)

In any case, it's good for me.

*deep breath*

And that's why I'm doing it.

And....Just so you can be jealous, here is a picture of my shooooooooooes

Hola!

Hola everyone!

Check out the new blog colours!

Spring is here and I wasn't so much feelin' the black anymore. =D

After a week of rain and cold, the sun is shining here in the Mini-Apple.

I've got a new chiropractor (who is sooooooooo handsome. Epic win.)

And I'm going to get myself some cool Nike's and go jogging!

Housing plans are coming together for next year, and tonight I'm going to eat pizza and watch a movie with friends.

Also, I have decided that I really miss dancing, and am considering getting into some sort of intermediate jazz class at the U Fitness Center when I get back from the Ozarks.

So....yes.

Now, if I could just memorize my 8 tons of music, all would be well.

Pray that my brain will absorb music at superhuman speeds in the coming weeks-

-because it's gonna take an act of God!

So in the meantime, enjoy the weather!

Cheers!
