Thanksgiving Week

Next to me is the soprano book from Barbara Strozzi's Il Primo Libro de Madrigali. After I sign off for tonight, I will look at it before I go to bed and maybe begin transcribing.

My studio is having mock juries the first week of December. It's during my lesson time so I really can't skip it. This means I will probably have to perform. And that makes me VERY nervous. I have not sung in preparation for being graded for years. Did I mention it makes me nervous? You know, singing is different when it is not being "judged". I always felt like juries were a one shot deal- have a bad singing day or being unfocused and all the work you did for the semester goes down the tubes. So, I guess the point is... it makes me nervous.

It is a short week. I have Wednesday off of school- which means Thanksgiving prep. And hopefully some homework. I would like to work it out so that all I have to do over Thanksgiving weekend is looking at my vocal pieces and conducting pieces.

I also am in the process of beginning my final project for Research Methods, which is a master thesis proposal. I have a lot of basic information down and need to fill in the blanks before I actually start researching sources. I do not like the paragraph I have written, but I plan on the paragraph changing over the next year.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, one of the many reasons I am excited about the holiday is because we will decorate for Christmas on Thanksgiving morning!
