This summer has been crazy. First, I hurt my knee on my trip--no biggie. Well, it still hurts every now & then, so I guess it was a biggie, but I'm still alive, right?! :) Since I returned to Baltimore, in late June, a lot has happened: I moved to a new apartment which is lacking in mice, has water pressure & windows that stay in the track, a made-for-an-adult-sized-person kitchen, hardwood floors, and a big front porch... so happy that I moved. My dog is even happier; I think my anxiety of living at the old, beyond shitty place rubbed off on him. I also got hired as the Administrator for the church at which I sing! Hot dog--now I'm using BOTH of my Bachelor Degrees!
One semi-bad thing is that the competition I did all of this for, the Marseilles' Int'l Opera Competition, for whatever reason, is POSTPONED for TWO years! So, I had to propose an alternate use of the funds to a committee from school so that I don't have to pay back the $600 they awarded me. I sent this proposal to my hometown paper too, so all of the people there knew what was going on with their money. What a bust!
Oh well, lots of other things that need to be paid for in order to get my career on the way! Headshots. Travel for auditions. A website. New recordings. Etc. TAKE THAT committee!
This is an exceptionally brief update, but I have to get back to work/school. A detailed one of future [EXCITING] plans is to come!
