There's an image for ya. Seriously though, it's so hot and humid today I literally felt heat radiating out of everything I've sat or laid on today. That could also be from the minor sun burn I got on the backs of my legs Wednesday but regardless, Everything just felt so hot that I decided it was my pants fault so I took them off. I gotta say, I'm feeling better already.
H'ok so, I researched a possible DMA program at U Houston and it was an incredible wake up call. They have a lot of diagnostic exams and testing to go through before you even begin the degree. Then the exams you take after course work before you can be a "candidate" for the DMA are even more rigorous. For vocalists there's theory and history that everyone does, then French, German and Italian diction plus reading proficiency in one language. They had a sample theory test online that I checked out and I'm pleased to say I remember most of the stuff that's on it. But man oh man will I have some brush up work to do before I head off to any audition. It made me really excited because I feel like it will challenge me but it won't be out of my league. Music is definitely where I belong and so challenging myself is really exciting. I'm actually looking forward to brushing up on my theory and history as well as diction and now I really gotta start cracking on learning a foreign language. It's simply exciting. This is gonna be good for me. Whatever school I end up at I think will push me and honestly make me be better. Which is what I want.
In the other world of my summer, I've finally made it back to the lowest weight of June, just in time for July to be over. I did not make my goal of 5 lbs for the month, but I'm happy to feel back on track. That's really all I had to share, except that I'd really like someone to come cook for me. I have zero motivation at the moment. So yeah, that'd be nice.
