October has gone by FAST! I have not even noticed it SWOOSHING on by! And its even one of my favorite months! I like when the weather starts to change; I mean, I prefer warm weather, but after a while I am ready to wear long sleeves and scarves and jackets! And for some reason October/early Fall always gives me a good feeling... idk. But I digress. Happy Halloween. Check out those RAR pumpkins. Wow.Lets see... since last time I wrote, I took my woodwinds midterm & I got a B+. I am happy with that! I'm also now starting to "play" the flute... as of right now, I'm not getting any sounds out :( which is really frustrating. I'm starting to think I should have picked a different instrument! But hopefully I'll figure it out when I'm practicing this weekend. I'm also now playing viola instead of violin in strings class, which I actually like a lot better. I love the way it sounds.
Last Friday I sang one of the Queen of the Night arias during performance class in front of EVERYONE. My heart was beating SO FAST; I was rawther nervous. But it was fine. I was just glad when it was over b/c my flu shot was making me feel pretty icky.
Over the weekend, Vlad came to B'ham on Saturday & we went to the Alabama Theatre to see the silent film of Phantom of the Opera with the awesome organ playing in the background. I'd seen it before in like 7th grade when we studied the book for lit class, but it wasn't much like I remembered it. I was afraid Vlad might not like it, since its nothing at all like a "horror" movie you would see these days, so you have to realize its going to be different. But we both really enjoyed it and had fun! They made it really theatrical at the beginning and end with these guys in scary masks carrying candles & rolling out a coffin that the organist steps out of. It was pretty cool. Check it out:
In other news, on Monday for choral methods I had to go rehearse 20 minutes with a school choir AND video record it, so I went with Whitney to her husband's choir at Hewitt-Trussville High School. He wasn't there that day, so W and I ran the rehearsal and it was quite a new experience. I left feeling like it was kind of fun, but also knowing there was a lot I should have done differently plus just a lot more I could have done. But it was my first time, and thankfully it wasn't too scary.
In top model news, cya Sheena. I was hoping it would be Elina, but oh well. I hope Sam or Annaleigh win. Yo!
Anyway, today is Halloween and I have zero plans! No costume, nothing! And I don't even feel sad a/b it! Does this mean I am getting old??! Yikes! Well I guess thats all. Have a fun Halloween!
