Current mood: nostalgic

No coffee today but I am wide awake at midnight.

Memories from undergrad:

everything was so "random"
Evan Burton and his prada sandals
Dr. Cawood's blackboard races with IPA
150 (never again)
help help the horrible alien opera
sing song snobbery
grading my roommate's sight singing tapes (they were good allison, don't worry)
kerley singing Adelaide
freaking out over vocal juries... haha
girl talk with Lemmons... aka "piano lessons"
sneaking onto the construction site for the PAC late at night
lots of memories to be revisited this weekend in abilene

Crystal is once again working

Tuesday, September 05, 2006
Current mood: hopeful

So for those of you who I haven't talked to in the last couple of weeks here is the update on the job situation. I am finally employed! I am not really working very many hours, but I am not complaining really. I have 2 little part time jobs, and would be happy to add another but no luck with that so far. So what am I doing??? Well...

1. Singer at Macaroni Grill. I go in a couple nights a week, usually Thursday and Friday during dinner. I switch off with a tenor guy named Ray. I don't have to wait tables or hostess or anything, I just sing. I am learning some new repertoire like O mio babbino caro and Quando men vo and O sole mio. It is somewhat fun. My schedule is flexible so I can't complain. Nothing like singing in a restaurant.

2. Admin Assistant for Crownridge Music Academy. They want me to work a couple days a week, primarily for one of the directors of the acadamy who needs someone to do the office stuff so she can focus on the music. I am able to work some from home and can leave and come back for auditions and gigs. I may be able to teach there at some point in the future if I decide that I want to commit to teaching. I get to plan things and organize things and work with musicians. How perfect!

Between the two jobs I am only working somewhere between 15-20 hrs a week. I would prefer to be doing more, but on the other hand I have plenty of time to learn rep and work on getting my audition stuff together. I can also leave for a week or two here or there and no one will mind! That is impossible with some jobs so I am thankful.

This summer my dad came to visit me in Utah, and it was so much fun to have him there. Here are the pics!

That last picture is me with Michael Ballam, GD of Utah Festival Opera as well as Don Quixote de la Mancha.I love Utah; it is a very special place and I hope I am able to return for many more summers. I have such warm memories, and I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of it.
