Let us again ride the rollercoaster

So now we've passed the nerves, and we've passed the calm. I am now residing in a state of physical armor. My insides are nice and warm and fine, and my muscles have all hardened themselves to the extreme, causing me much trouble when I attempt to do something musical with my voice. It's quite a problem, and I hope that by my recital hearing tomorrow, it will all be fine.

Yesterday I attempted many ways of relaxation, from stretching, meditation (though my mind was racing too much to do well at that one), eating a good meal, watching a movie, singing, and using one of those heat patches on my neck. This morning I took a long hot shower, and now I am eating some pancakes and listening to Barber's Adagio and his violin concerto. Let's hope it makes me feel better.

To take things into perspective, tomorrow won't be that bad. 3 or so pieces later, and the faculty will know I am memorized, and the hearing will be over. I might not wow them, they may not think I'm fantastic, but who cares? No bother stressing over it, as it will only make things worse.

To recap, Magic Flute went really well this weekend. I had lots of fun, and am not worried about Saturday in the least. We had a full house at the show, and my family was here, which was great, despite the fact that I didn't get much sleep.

Well, I am going to make sure all of my things are ready for today, and bask a little more in the Barber....I am so afraid that I won't make the Hermit Songs what they should be. Maybe I just don't love them as much as I thought I would, I don't know. Bleech. No more worrying!

Have a great day~
