unbound_spiritI just finished reading The Kite Runner
about an hour ago and I had a good cry. I cried all throughout
reading it too. Its a pretty powerful book. Wow.
Okay, onto the next read...
I also started a new oil painting. I'll have to post a picture when I finish, although it may take a while.
I started learning music for next semester, and I'm getting all my junk together for my applications to Opera North and Opera Festival di Roma, which are just about the only two summer programs I could find whose deadline hasn't already passed. I think I may also apply to be a TA at JHU CTY again, although they don't have that cool class in music and mathematics anymore, and the music theory class is in Carlisle, PA, this year, which is not exactly where I would want to spend three weeks of my summer, but its money and something good for my resume, so, we'll see. There's also the language program up in Vermont. I definately need to brush up on my Deutsch...
What are you all doing this summer?

Date: 2006-01-03 02:57 pm (UTC)I didn't know Brevard was happening anymore. At least that's the word I heard, so I didn't even look into it. And I would assume their auditions are over by this time of the year anyway.
What's Seagle?

OFdR, from waht I've heard is basically a scam. they promise you a lot and then you get nothing. search the forums at classical singer and http://www.nfcs.net for more information

Date: 2006-01-03 03:53 pm (UTC)I think I'm going to save those summers full of research for if/when I get into the DMA program. In the meantime, good luck to you!

Date: 2006-01-04 09:00 pm (UTC)I meant more in the way that, I really wanna get my Masters and Doctorate before I chance to blow up the world, therefore making the achievement of an advanced degree impossible... :-)
I have been informed by members of my family that they insist upon attending a graduation ceremony whereupon I walk down the isle and up the stage Wearing a Hood! before I do anything else. *sigh* Yes Daddy!...

Date: 2006-01-03 07:42 pm (UTC)This summer? I have no clue. Kinda going back to the idea I was hoping for last summer and see if I can move out or something. For now, I guess that's one and maybe find a full time job and start saving up some moola again. Also been thinking about going back to Peru, though wish I had someone to go with. Guess that's about it.
Stay coolz =D

Date: 2006-01-04 02:39 am (UTC)I've been curious about the JHU CTY program. Heard some good things about it, and I may apply for summer 07. Anything to possibly get me back to Baltimore, or anywhere besides here.

Date: 2006-01-04 04:43 am (UTC)The thing with JHU CTY though is that the programs are at other colleges all over the country, so depending on what program you want to teach for, you could get stuck in some really lame place for three weeks (like, Carlisle, PA). On the other hand, you could get to go to California or some nice place like that. I think they're starting to accept applications now, so there's still time if you're interested!
