My audition is over! YAY! One less thing to do....now all my stresses of the semester will be over in just three days....or at least the currently looming ones. I walked onstage after hearing the two people before me. One was very good, the other was not. I'm not including names because I've learned the hard way that people can find themselves if you write about them on the internet. I wore a very cute two piece dress-suit (dress with long jacket over the top) and a scarf. I dashed and got a haircut....and it was a great idea because they all liked my haircut -- maybe even more than my singing. Who knows. But on professor kept mentioning it..."Nice haircut! Very nice!" I was nervous about the Quia Respexit by Bach. I wasn't worried that I'd mess up noticeably, I just really has some good lessons this semester and was desperate to apply them to this audition. I think I did. I noticed at least one professor nodding his head. They let me sing another two pieces after that. Dr. Van Cura even called me to say it went well. I'm very happy. Now I'm going to go memorize my last three pieces for my recital hearing on tuesday...

My audition is in 4 hours. In two hours I'm going to go get the "profession graduate student" haircut. I hope it looks good. I sure as heck can't do normal hair -- only my updos and stage hair. We'll see how it goes...wish me...not luck, that's no good for a performer....toi toi, in boca al lupo, break a leg, lots of spitting. And ditto for Matt who's heading to the Met finals on Monday.....
