Today was really casual and fun!Woke up (early...8:30am) and went to Writing Skills, which is like an arranging class, then went back to sleep until 1pm when Jade and I went to lunch.
After that, we headed to the gym and worked out. We received our membership cards...the pictures look horrendous! I had a really good workout - it really boosts my energy and my attitude when I walk out of there knowing I did something good for myself =] Then we came home, sat around, and that was it. What a good lazy day, huh? It was beautifully sunny out today, though.
Here's a picture of myself, Nadia, and Jade in me and Jade's dorm! Don't you just love our matching rainboots? hehe
AJ Rafael (look him up on YouTube, he's amazing!) got a callback for the Singer's Showcase - which is this much-anticipated annual concert featuring the best-of-the-best for singers at Berklee. He is an amazing singer/songwriter/pianist/guitarist/ukelele-ist?? haha and he is awesome! Unfortunately, he didn't make the final cut, but he was still great. I'm going to wait until next year at least to try out so I can have more training. Look out for AJ Rafael - he's our next up-and-coming Jason Mraz! =]
So I sang Calvary the other day for my R&B lab class and it went pretty well. Now our teacher gave us another assignment for next week - choose, study, and perform an "old classic" R&B song in front of the class next Wednesday. After looking awhile, I settled on "Love Finds Its Own Way" by Gladys Knight. It's really pretty, and has a jazzy feel to it.
Going home to see my baby and family soon...I got my plane ticket for October 10-13th - I'll only miss Friday classes because we have Monday off for Columbus Day. I'm really excited, though I do have to admit I don't miss Minnesota at all. I just miss the people. Boston is sooo amazing, I love living in the big city.
Got some homework to finish...writing out a lead sheet for a Nichole Nordeman song I'm singing in my Rhythm and Grooves Ensemble on Monday, and I have to transpose it up a whole step. - goodnight! =]
