So yesterday was a poopy day. I didn't get an audition for Glimmerglass opera, my car's transmission started acting funny, and I seriously contemplated changing my major to choral conducting and giving the opera world the finger.
And then.....as He always does in His own time (yes Lord I know that I am not a patient person and this will be my life long lesson)...a wonderful email showed up from the Britten-Pears program. For those of you who do not know of what I speak, the Britten-Pears program is run by a huge foundation that originated as a music festival in England and performances are held at the Snape Maltings Hall(you only thought that Harry Potter character name was made up).
This is a big deal. They are doing a fully staged Rake's Progress and I have an audition. I HAVE AN AUDITION!!! And if, big IF, I get a part, then they will fly me over to merry England for six weeks of lovely opera. Hooray! I'm going off to frolic!

Taking Stacey's lead, things I've learned about myself today
One of my better features is my ability to catch on quickly. This however does not apply when dealing with the opposite sex.
I am a subversive, pragmatic rule follower.
I do love beer. As only a woman can love a beer.
I am a classy, refined Hindrichs (German for snob) something else
I have cried in front of half of the western hemisphere - but lately it's been onstage so at least the venue is more specific!
I am both funny sarcastic and funny ha-ha, but mostly sarcastic.
And most people, upon first glance, noticed that I am tall.
All persons on the distribution list knew that I am in love with a special someone (though Casey maintains that she doesn't know if he ever had an association with a short bus so she refrains from applying the term "special" - smart ass) and that when pressed to name a homosapien (funny guy, you know I love my dog) they came up with the name of the fiancee (and kudos to Stacey for getting all three names, though I suspect that's because she's holding an invitation)
And finally, that I have a flair for the nerdy. Honey, I don't have flair for the nerdy, I wrote the book on nerdy. Have you seen the thickness of my glasses?
Love to y'all, hope you're having a good day. I have a scholarship interview in an hour, cross those fingers!
