Oh. Mondays!
Monday is basically music day. I have voice lessons, theory, and chorus all in one day. It is usually a huge pain in the ass, but things are looking up. Big time.
I HATE voice lessons. There are only a few things in the world that I hate, but voice lessons are right on top of my list. They are long, they usually take place at times when I am far too sleepy, or they are on awful days (Monday for example). I think I'm much more productive on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.
So today at my voice lesson, my teacher was in somewhat of a happier mood than usual. Instead of making me feel like a lazy sob like she usually does, and reminding me how much I suck, she was more, lets say, encouraging and positive. Right before my lesson was over she said something that hit me like a lightening bolt. "Sarah, you have POTENTIAL. You could go so far with that voice. If only you got off your ass and practiced once in a while." I was in disbelief. One, she's Hungarian and a bit stuck up. Two, she said, "Get off your ass." That's awesome.
She told me that I had potential. There was another word in there too like extreme or incredible. I don't remember. The point is, she looked me right in the eyes, and I felt it. I've been told that I can be successful before from reliable sources, but potential. That's a big word for a soprano in a world of 1000000000 other sopranos. Woah.
DEPECHE MODE is in three days! Seriously, it is the only thing making me smile these days. Just to hear them live, I am so fucking excited.
