Update on me....

I know it’s been a very long time since I wrote an entry for this blog but In my defense it’s been pure madness since school started in late August. I was able to receive a scholarship to study music in the college where I’m currently attending. I must say it’s both terrifying and fulfilling. I am totally in love with my Opera/Music Theater Workshop! The people are absolutely amazing and the class is more fun than work. I’m trying hard to get out of my comfort zone by making friends in all of my music classes. I just have to say I’m just barely catching up in my Musicianship I class. I have an assignment due on scales and I’m totally stuck. The work is never done but I have to admit I’m totally in love with the music department.
I’m taking voice lessons with Carla Delvillageio who is the sweetest person ever; I know I’m going to learn a lot from her.

For now this is all, I’ll be writing in soon.
Happy Singing

How Dreams Come True….

Below is the MySpace Blog entry I wrote regarding how I came to be a Music Major at my school, this was a summarized version so bare with me.

Ok, get ready because what I'm about to say is really crazy..

On Wednesday of last week I went to my only music class this semester which is called Voice Class, it's supposed to be for people who have no previous vocal training, but since one of the things you learned in the class was sight singing, I signed up for it. I met my teacher Ms. Delvillaggeio who asked which of us had taken voice lessons, and what music artists we liked. I raised my hand, mentioned who I'd studied with and Cecilia Bartoli and Anna Netrebko as two of the artists I liked. She asked me to stay after class and speak to her.

Mind you I wasn't going to mention anything about my previous teachers but I decided to be honest. I took the class because I know I'm behind in my music studies and figured it would be a good place to sort of catch up.

Next thing I know it's after class, I'm in one of the practice rooms with her singing, she turned to me and asked "what are you doing in my class?" I explained to her why, she then asked why I wasn't in the voice program, I replied I wasn't aware they had one. So she talked to the Director of the Music department, they got me a scholarship because financial aid wouldn't cover the additional classes for this term or something. And now I'm officially a Music Major- still considered under degree General Studies A.A.

But can I say how freaking awesome this is!! I can't believe how God worked it all out, I've never been so overwhelmed in my life. Now I'm in Ms. D's Opera Workshop which is a dream come true, I'm finally studying what I love. It was like God was saying "Here's what you've been praying for, along with a pretty red bow to go with it." I mean down to the books I needed. Financial Aid gave me more money to buy the books for my Musicianship class. I am so in awe of all these wonderful blessings I'm running out of ways to thank God here. (It is a great gift and I fully intend to take advantage of it.)

And last but not least, My voice teacher is Ms D! I am totally loving my life right now…

The last two days I've been thinking a lot about this guy I used to like, mostly because I had a dream I was making out with him. It was so hot it got me thinking, why not? I have no idea if he's still interested but we'll see if something happens. He used to be really easy-going and funny. Let's hope he hasn't lost that in the last four years.

If my life would be that simple that would mean the boyfriends and men I've dated in the last seven years could have been avoided. Which is a bit tragic to think of, if my love life could really be tied up in such a neat little bow? I would have loved to date him back then but we were so much younger, I really don't know if it would have worked out for us. His lips felt so real, I hated waking up when I did. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. It felt effortless, sweet, even... innocent. The kissing was really great, I mean spectacular. His hair looked like it did when we met, but his body was the body of a man, sexy, pretty muscular. It's really silly I know... we almost kissed once after we'd been to an event. But we weren't alone. A big part of me regrets that

Embarking on a new Journey....

After all the stress in the past three months of my life I am finally where I want to be, starting college in just a few short days. This in my opinion is both a good and bad thing. The only music class I could get this semester is a Voice Class which from what I understand is a class where you learn the fundamentals of singing, which happens to be the name of the book for that class. I really wanted to take music theory but couldn't find a time that worked for me from what was open. Which may be a blessing in disguise, I already have 13 credits and Music Theory would have brought it up to 17, I don't want to push myself that much in my first semester.

I'll write again soon after my first class on August 25th which happens to be Voice Class, YAY!!

Dear Readers....

I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Since my last post I've attended orientation, registered, purchased my school books and school supplies, cut my hair (*see picture below) and managed to organize my bedroom; desk included!

Needless to say I am beyond thrilled to start my classes, I'll admit there was a while there I was afraid I wouldn't be able to start College this fall, thank God I was mistaken. I was blessed with more financial aid than I expected; enough to cover my tuition, books and school supplies. All I have left to do is go to class on Monday.

I'm feeling a little nervous but more excited than anything else, I've been dreaming of going to college for as I've known what college was and now It's my turn, finally.

I'll be taking 13 credits this semester, I'm hoping I can get all of my prerequisites taken care of in one semester but if I can't at least the majority of them.

I'll check in after my first day to fill you in on how it went. Wish me luck!

Feeling small in a big place...

Life is busy right now. I've already signed up for orientation and I'm about to register for the classes. I can't help but feel small in this huge place. College is going to be an interesting if not amazing experice, yet, I'm still nervous.

I'll write in again when i can, Thanks for the e mails and comments.

I’m getting the final paper work done for college! I’m so excited, I’ll be taking the CPT soon probably next week. I hope I get a good enough score so I don’t have to do a pre college class. That would really bumb me out.
Well until next time. I’ll be posting again when I can.

XOXO
