this time

4 hours from home and the surroundings are different
Lots of new faces from all sorts of places
The only change left is within myself.

Last Five Years

is a one music act by James Robert Brown which came out in 2001.

A quick synopsis about the musical: it starts off at the end with Cathy and Jamie's failed marriage with "Still Hurting" sung by Cathy. The play goes back and forth to the beginning of their relationship towards the end.
Jaime becomes a successful writer while Cathy is a struggling actress who has not yet achieved her success. Cathy wants to be independent of Jamie's success which creates tension between the couple.

I only focus on"Still Hurting" because that's the next piece I'm working on :)

It's such a sad but beautiful song

awww

When I sang in seminar (which took forever to get started because all the accompanists were MIA) I did pretty well.

I base pretty well by the comments I received afterwards from my fellow peers which were all positive.

But one freshman guy said I gave him chills (which he says that's never happened before). And that's when you know you did good :)

-------------------

on another note; I must have watched this video a million times since the song first came out!



I want my hair to get to that point soon!

Tomorrow

I'm singing Quia Respexit (a soprano solo) from Bach's Magnificat in D Major for Dr. Olson's voice studio.

Thank God for oratorios (because I can use my music cos I don't have it memorized ;x)

except tomorrow I won't have a badass choir following with Omnes generationes

This is what the solo sounds like:

I wish

my heavy heart would feel more like this instead of on the annoying side


question(s):

do we all go though times when we are attached to one thing?

when does one realize that you must love yourself first before all other things besides God?

When does one realize that giving and giving and not receiving does not create balance and therefore not reasonable?

above else: when will my roomates stop keeping the apartment below 70 degrees? ;(

Lora Lee,

I am pleased to inform you that you passed the rhythm sightreading and the major key sightsinging sections of the proficiency exam. However, you have still not passed the melodic dictation, minor key sightsinging, part-writing, harmonic analysis, and form sections. You will have another opportunity to take the exam in February 2010. Based on the results of the exam, I would recommend that you enroll in (or audit) Aural Skills and Basic Skills II next semester. This would help you practice the skills that will help you pass the exam. Please stop by my office if you would like to talk about your options in more detail.

You will not be permitted to enroll in most upper-level music classes until you have passed all sections of this proficiency exam.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to look over your exam.

Dr. Davis

my thoughts have become kind of like a room that have too many things requiring electricity, in need of another outlet!

or like a TV with only basic cable, in need of another channel!


It's going to be a long night...
