solarbirdToday was voice jury day in Music 137 - basically, it's the singing final, you go and do your class song and your solo in front of the singing classes at your general level and appropriate faculty and get graded and THIS WAS THE BEST THING EVAR AND THIS ENTIRE SIDE TRIP OF A YEAR IS NOW WORTH IT OMG
I mean, there isn't really a lot to tell, it took three and a half hours, starting with voice warmups, and then people taking turns with their bits, and really everybody did awfully well (to me, most people sounded better than they ever had in class) and then I got up and started fine, which is good because starting Amarilli is difficult for me, and then I turned a corner somehow and I don't have a good analogy but I kind of ate the song alive on stage including adding some of the decorative notes that I just haven't even practiced and NAILING them and then not falling apart or ANYTHING and and and!
And then I was done and got off stage without falling over or anything and then a bunch of the Really Good People in class were all THAT WAS AMAZING and afterwards Minami was all <hug> and Susan (instructor) was all <hug> and "I can't believe how far you've come" and and and!
And then there were people who were just in the (tiny) audience looking over at me and pointing me out as I was leaving and then I ran into Minami again and gave her one of my calling cards and to remember whose card it was she wrote "sings" on it because THAT'S HOW SHE THINKS OF ME omg. (Minami is a classmate, Japanese college/exchange and stuff, and REALLY GOOD also.)
And really that's most of it but omg!
So now that this mini-exile is worth remembering happily I went and bought a school mug. ^_^ I looked for a music department mug or something but i didn't see anything, so I got one with the school colours which are green and gold instead.
Now I have to go study for my zoology final. don't care WORTH IT

And now....I need to hear you sing. ;-)
