Quick Update

A very quick update:

1. I have been moved into Trinity Choir next semester (yay!!)
2. I will be going on tour with them over spring break (YAY!!! Mom, Dad, we get to talk finances...)
3. My voice studio is giving a recital on sunday, Nov. 23, at 3pm in the Ruth Taylor Recital Hall if anyone is interested in coming.
4. I will be registering for the following classes for next semester:

• Theory 2
• Orchestra
• Choir
  
• Opera Workshop (we are doing Die Fledermaus, I'm in the chorus)
• Bassoon and Voice lessons
• Into to Teaching
  
• Argumentation
• PAD (Principles of Algorithmic Design) 1 (Or Music Cultures of the World, but that will most likely be full of seniors)

That's 18 hours, yikes!

So, exciting stuff! Tonight is the campus-wide Swing Fling, the Bums are hosting it, so I get to help with set up and advertisement and stuff. Tomorrow night VENGA (I don't remember what it stands for) is hosting a salsa night. The new play, Booth, is also opening tonight. They will be playing next weekend too. AND, I am hosting a prospective student (Prospie) tomorrow night. I'm excited. The suite is going to take her out for Thai food, and then she can either go to the play with Ruthie, or Salsa night with me, and then we'll do S'mores...it'll be great fun. I've also started hearing about people from Bowie starting to tell the music department that they are interested in Trinity, like Kim Kost and Jenny Dietz. I'm really excited about this, and I know that Alex Bretoi is interested too.

Here's a good picture of Ruthie when it was her "birthday" at Mamacita's!

Everyone is getting ready for the end of the semester. I am working on two end of the semester projects (one on the Illuminati, which is ....fun researching, and one on swing dancing). My quote today concerns the founder of the Bavarian Illuminati.

"It has been claimed that Dr. Weishaupt was an atheist, a Cabalistic magician, a rationalist, a mystic; a democrat, a socialist, an anarchist, a fascist; a Machiavellian amoralist, an alchemist, a totalitarian and an "enthusiastic philanthropist." (The last was the verdict of Thomas Jefferson, by the way.)" -Robert Anton Wilson "Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati"
