Last First day of school! (part 1)

Lunch! I actually get to eat lunch this semester! woot!

Schedule is Tuesday-Thursday only:

  • 8-9:30: Music History 1800-WWI

  • 9:30-11: Tudor/Stuart England

  • 11-12:30: Women's Choir

  • 2-3:30: American Musical Theatre

  • 4-5:15: Tai-Chi

with a piano lesson thrown in there somewhere probably on wednesday.

So far my classes seem to be fine - music history will be a blast, and Dr Francis (Tudor/Stuart England and/or Britain depending) is a riot. I totally expected your standard, older/middle-aged white dude to be Dr. Francis. Instead he's a young man from the West Indies with a heavy accent and too much energy for his own good. So that was fun.

Hauling my ass across campus for choir was less than fun, but the choir sounds GOOD - like WOW good. And we're split 11/13/12/12 part wise (S1/S2/A1/A2) so I get to keep singing Alto 1.

Anyway - will update again after the rest of class - I dont feel like studying, so today was a mid-day update day (: Have a good chunk of reading to do for thursday though - tomorrow will be busy!

When you say "WOW" good, you mean like the actual word, right? Or do you mean its "World of Warcraft" good?

If so, wow.

Well.. a little of both. I sing in a non-major/elective choir, so we take whoever wants to sing, regardless of experience (though you do have to "audition" so they can make sure you're not tone deaf). Usually the first few rehearsals are really rough, and we have to spend a lot of time on basics.

This group seems much better, and even "nit picky" things like diction are in the decent range, as opposed to abominable. So it's a bit of both - "wow" like I'm impressed, and "WoW" like it's going to be a ton of fun :D
