It is 2:30 in the morning, and I have a recital in 17 hours. I cannot sleep!!! I didn’t think I was nervous, but aparently I was wrong. So frustrating! So right now I’m drinking a rum & coke (heavy on the rum), hoping the alcohol in it knocks me out.
So my second semester of my master’s degree is almost over. I entered two different competitions this semester and didn’t place in either one. That was disappointing. But I did make it into the summer program I applied for, so that is good. It’s a program specifically geared toward improving stage performance, which I need immensely.
I’ve also been guaranteed a role in our spring opera production at my school, although the opera we’ll be doing is still up in the air. The latest idea that’s been kicked around is Donizetti’s L’elisir d’Amore, which I really hope we do, because I will get the role of Adina, which I am dying to sing! It’s my favorite opera!
Whoa! Really starting to feel that rum… Time to try to catch some Z’s!
