Last day for fall 2008 semester

Today is my last day of school for this semester.  It’s very exciting, but also filled with terror.  I have my jury today at 2:49, and although I know my songs..I am so scared that I will forget my words.  I hate that feeling.  I love performing, and I generally have the same fears before performances too…but knowing you are getting judged jsut adds a whole second level to the terror.  For those of you who do not know… a jury in the music world means that for your final you have your songs all memorized (in my case 6, but I only have to offer to them 4) and you go sing at a pre-designated time for a panel of judges (which are usually music faculty).  It’s not that I mind singing, but I am always so worried about what they will think…and this is amplified by the fact that I am new at this school this semester.  I am just praying that it all goes well.  My first final this morning went well at least, and it was over quickly too.  Although my jury will be over quicker… 7 minutes to be exact.  The quicker the better…it’s still quite a bit of pressure though.  I had to get up at 5:45 this morning to be ready and on my way for everything today.  Currently I have a break from 8:45 (when I finished my first final) until about 2pm – when I will go practise hard core before singing (oh and warm up my voice!)  It is such a good feeling to know it is almost over though.  I have been craving this all semester sadly.  The one thing that annoys me is that my school semesters and Chris’s do not line up.  For instance, he got out almost two weeks ago..and today is my last day.  Next semester, I start on Jan. 12, and he doesn’t start till the 20th…and we get about about the same time in May – give or take a few days.  I better get more holidays during the school year then him damn it!  Plus our spring breaks don’t even line up, which means we can’t go anywhere together probably for the next few years during that time.  Ahh well, that’s life.  Any way, I think I am going to go play a game to get my mind off the pending doom soon to follow.
