The final countdown...

candylandWe keep checking things off the list of things to do before I'm done! Here's how we stand at the moment in terms of finished classes:
Classroom Management
Piano jury
Vocal jury
Music History and Lit
Conducting II
Creative Writing
First of all, I'd like to say FUCK PIANO. I got so nervous going into that jury and my hands were shaking so bad that I couldn't keep my fingers on the freakin' keys. My grade for it is already up. Yeah--my mood's officially dead. Fuck you, piano. Fuck you.
The vocal jury went well, though. I didn't mess up my words *squees* And I think I made myself into the joke of the music faculty, though. Jerry asked me what opera one of my pieces, called "When I Am Laid in Earth," is from, and I told him Dido and something-that-starts-with-an-A-but-I-can't-remember-how-to-pronounce-it. Then he said that there were two parts to the song--what were their structures? It took me a sec to realize what he was asking. I said that the first part was a recitative...except I pronounced it wrong--I said "re-SIH-ta-tive" instead of "re-seh-si-TEEV." Apparently, that's very funny. I did correctly name the second part as an aria, though. Silly professors!!
Also, the Music History final was...not exactly a pleasant experience. I'd been so busy prepping for juries (or trying to, I should say) that I hadn't studied for it as much as I should have. Yeah...it needed to die. I circled the questions I didn't know to come back to them later; there were three of them. I felt a bit better when I was turning mine in and saw another person in the class had circled the same questions I had. So I wasn't the only one who was drawing a blank. Bah humbug.
I think I'm having a rough semester...and I still have to get through this Conducting final. Ugh...but once that's done, the semester is over in terms of classes. Creative Writing consists of walking in, getting our portfolios, getting our compilations, saying goodbye, and walking out.
But on a brighter note for anyone interested, the Hooray I'm Going to Europe post is lookin' good. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
magic_truth, I am updating WYW4, now put down that stick! =P Just shy of 21,000 words. And then I'm off to see the world!

Date: 2006-05-17 08:25 pm (UTC)I'm pretty sure you could see my hands shaking a mile away...if the grade that's on the website is my final grade (which I believe it is), then I'm doubly looking forward to Kelly and I getting Chinese and watching Ghost Hunters on Friday. I need a cheer-up ;_;
*giggle* Why is it that I don't believe your innocent face? And I'm talking about that stick *points behind you*
