It's been a rough week. And it's been a good week. It's been hard to be back. I've been missing home and the people there very much, and loathing the necessity of plunging back into the Land of Stress and Sleeplessness. But ya know, those are choices, and by God's grace, I will choose to be neither stressed nor sleep-deprived this semester!
My classes look pretty good. Still a toss-up whether they'll be difficult or not. But the good news is, this is my fourth and last semester of Theory and Aural Skills! I also have Diction for Singers II (where I'll learn to pronounce French and German properly by learning the phonetic rules for the respective languages and using the symbols of IPA, the International Phonetic Alphabet; there's a separate class, which I'll take next fall for Italian and Latin); New Testament Literature; Introduction to Music Literature; Concert Chorale; Vocal Arts Ensemble; Opera Ensemble; and my private voice lessons.

WOW, that's a full plate! The language classes sound really interesting and it seems like they would have other applications besides just singing, eh? Shall we book flights to Italy now, or wait till summer! :)
Hi! My Goodness you have been busy at the keyboard. Hope you survive this semester!!!! Makes me tired just reading about all your classes.I think back to my college days. And, yes, I did survive the "pressure cooker"-- just some quarters were easier than others. : o) Keep smiling and Pray! LOVE YOU! Aunt Cris
Oh, you can book the flights at your leisure, Ridgely! :)
It makes me tired too, Aunt Cris. But for some reason, it's a little easier to focus this semester... let's hope it keeps up!
Love you both!
