There continues to be little for me to report on as my life presently consists of very little musicological doings and inquiries. I did, however, have a dream that I applied for an internship with the Kennedys/Juilliard in which I had to write some sort of thesis/dissertation relating to World War II. Unfortunately, the bulk of my dream consisted of me frantically packing. Then, in true dream form, I completely changed topics. It had been discovered that Maria Callas was living in Brazil and had decided to run for president of the United States. Former First Lady Betty Ford spoke of her warmly in a press conference. First, I was Callas's press agent, but then I turned into a young Callas auditioning for some random guy in a cabin. He made me sing "Ah, non credea mirarti" from LA SONNAMBULA but in the incompetency of my dream-Maria Callas-self, I started singing something else halfway between. He yelled at me. I yelled back. I overturned a table, shook some hands, and then got back into my covered wagon.
Seriously.
I had my first day of work on Saturday, of which I will speak no more, came home and discovered that I had a fever. That was pretty glorious. I took the opportunity to get ahead in my reading of Jude the Obscure and was successful in that endeavor.
I am feeling better now just in time for my voice lesson at 6:30 this evening.
Highlights of this week?
Tuesday: Interview at Borders; Second day of work
Wednesday: Third day of work
Thursday: Fourth day of work
Friday: Voice/Piano lesson for 9 year old girl, which has been going splendidly.
It is now time to shower!
I love singers' dreams.
