What Goes Up..

Classes started today and I was not in attendance. I thought it would feel weird, but it doesn't.

Thanks largely in part to Financial Aid, but also due to my recent realization of not wanting to be there.

I am now only registered for one music class this Fall.

Since this July I had enrolled in the required classes and was genuinely excited about it. Then my classes were dropped without warning and panic set in tenfold:

"Do I Really want to take this class?"
"I don't feel prepared to take on SSET 3 yet."
"Piano 3 is conflicting with my work schedule - maybe I should drop it.."

The stress of work, my plans for my YouTube channel with networking in general, and a serious family emergency had me reeling. So I took a step back and made a decision that honestly wasn't that hard to do. I emailed my music professors and told them that I would not be taking any classes this semester.

Right now I am only taking my general required courses (English, Math, and Science) and College Choir. The relief of it all feels so good right now! Maybe come midterms I'll feel differently, but I doubt it.

I work best alone. So alone is what I will be.

I can work on Vaccai and the other Arias at my own pace. Same for guitar and piano. The one thing I am slightly concerned with is Sight Singing and Ear Training.

It's my Kryptonite! For one reason or many - I honestly don't know -I struggle something fierce with SSET. Over the last few months I have gotten marginally better, but -  It. Takes. WORK!

So gotta be sure to schedule at least 6 hours a week for that alone.

I will be sure to check back in a few weeks with an update.

Until then - Stay Inspired!
