So Im feeling better about the recital...despite todays dismal rehearsal... I did have a migraine but I feel like that doesnt totally excuse my memory lapses... Still Im about 90% memorized. I got a cellist for my Baroque set so I can now use the music as well as have my FAVORITE instrument on the stage with me! There is nothin like having an orchestra under you and the sound surrounding you with all of the magnificent instrumental colors!!!! Even if it is an "orchestra" of 2!
I got a membership to the YMCA today because it is like 2 mins walking from my house and the monthly gym rate is only $27 since im a starving artist... yay! That is BY FAR the cheapest Gym rate in Boston!
Speaking of Starving... HEalthy food sure is expensive! Somehow I spent $140 at the Grocery store today... Who does that? Honestly!!!
Anyway ok off to continue the memorization... "La nuit a de douceur de femme..."

16 Days!
16 days to go... the dreaded recital is finally upon us... will she survive? I have contemplated if it would be easier to just end it... find a rope, drink some arsenic, you know... end it... It might be easier than cramming all this music into my head last minute... I mean its not totally last minute because some of it I have been working on since May. I'd hate to see what kind of state I would be in if I hadn't started! Then I think jumping out of a tall bulding would have been the better choice. But I know that all of my friends are right and that I will make it, I WILL pull this off, get my Master's and officially be part of the "Real World" A real starving artist... actually I could use some of that starving seeing as I gained 20-25lbs in the past 3 months! I dont know what happened its not like im stressed or anything...! :)
So on top of those two extremely stressful things Audition season is once again upon us and that means countless applications, fees, and trips to NYC to try and make it in the big bad operatic world. Shouldnt be that hard right... come on its OPERA for God's sake not that many people do that... WRONG! There are usually 500 Soprano's vying for the same single spot in Podunk Opera Co's Not-so-young artist program. But we will keep on keeping on! The persistent/talented/prepared/Well-endowed Diva gets her Worm... so to speak!
Also might I say that Temping is an odd thing... My first day I was on the 35th floor of a 37 story building where the company had its own chef and all I had to do was sit there and learn my music until a fax needed delivering. Now however I am hunched over a desk for 7 hours typing endless numbers into an excel spreadsheet that I HOPE to God is going to be used for something. I have officially entered some 8000 numbers in the past 8 days!
In re-reading this post I realize I sound rather negative, sarcastic and irreverent, but negative nonetheless so I guess I shall add "cultivate a more positive outlook" to my "list of things to do before Im thirty" right there next to become a supermodel and lose my virginity...
