I thought I had three. I stayed up until about 4:30am last night working on Harmony homework I thought was due this morning, but it's not 'till tomorrow. Ugh!
Oh well...at least I have it done. And it was fun homework - I took 8 Dream Theater songs (my FAVORITE band in the whole wide world) and listened for the intervals in each chorus and wrote them down. We're working on memorizing note intervals, something I've been proficient at since AP Music Theory junior year of high school.
I'm really glad that everything is relatively easy to me right now. I really don't need the stress at the beginning, and it's giving me more time to make friends and all that jazz. I really need to start practicing, though! Last night I went in a classroom to practice "Calvary" - an amazing gospel tune that I'm singing a Capella for my r&b vocal class tomorrow - and my voice was really strained! I need to work on that...pronto.
YAY! Jade and I are heading to Healthworks tonight to become a member, work out, bathe in the amazing eucalyptus steam room/spa, and watch the Big Brother 10 finale on the workout televisions! Haha...I'm sooo addicted to that show! It
's all myboyfriend George's fault. =]
My new favorite song is "Come on Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson. It's really beautiful - read/listen to the lyrics when you hear the song! It's the sweetest thing...perfect for anyone in a relationship. His new cd is full of the ups-and-downs in a relationship, and all the things you go through to make things work. Take a listen if you have a chance!
On a very happy note, I got into the Chamber Choir at Berklee and our first performance is at the Old South Church in Boston this next Wednesday evening! I'm really excited...I've kinda missed choral music lately since I've been singing in choirs religiously - pun intended - since the age of four! We're singing "You Raise Me Up" along with the gospel choir and a few other songs, too.
I'll have to post some pictures up here of my "finished" dorm room - it's absolutely amazing! About 5 different people have come to us three girls (Jade, T.S., and I) so far to ask if we could decorate their dorm rooms! Haha...it's so crazy. But complete with a Dream Theater neon hanging sign, a full-length mirror, decked-out bathroom, and ROPE LIGHT CHANDELIER...we're pretty cool =]
More later!
