I've developed a sneaky-smart solution for my carpool woes. Instead of staying all day on campus and taking an hour to get out of the parking garage and get to my apartment, I have taken my lunch break and brought Jack home. My car's name is Jack Half-a-Prayer, did I mention that? If you don't know who J.H.o.P. is, read Perdido Street Station, by China Mieville. OOOoooOOOh, familiar name! *points to upper right part of screen*
But yeah. I'm sitting on my couch right now. Toby and Sophie seem to be happy that I'm here. I don't really have to leave for class until maybe 3. So I might try to get a nice little nap in. And the really good part is that I only need to take one notebook back to campus! So yay.
Today in music, I decided to knock one of my two projects for that class out of the way and belt out a song I learned in high school. I don't remember ever performing it, and I didn't know all the Italian, but I think I pronounced it right. It was 'Vittoria, mio core!' by Giacomo Carissimi. The strangest thing was that my professor actually WANTED to accompany me! I tld her that it was all right and I'd do it a capella, but it still was a bit awkward. But I had three or four people say I had a beautiful voice after class ended. So even though I was shaking like a leaf, it was worth it.
So very tired. The dogs are eating, and I think I will go take that nap now.

Oh, Channie. You know you have a beautiful voice. Don't even try to front. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, you're right. I am shamelessly baiting for compliments... But you love me anyway!
ReplyDeleteBut it was so strange... I mean, I'm usually fine with performing, but when I was up there, I was shaking so bad! And I was shaking for like 10 minutes afterwards... Meh.
