Since it has been so long since I had written a decent post, I decided to give a brief run-down of the highlights of Junior year.  Here goes.  In somewhat chronological order. :)

1.  Labor Day Weekend

Spent in NYC.  The memories.  Who doesn't decide to go into Manhattan at 10 p.m.? 

2.  Cendrillon--my first ever opera performance

And what a wonderful cast to experience it with.  We even had our own unique family "dance" to kick off each performance.

An additional blessing was the overwhelming amount of support that was shown on my behalf.  Family and friends came quite a distance to see me perform.  I'll never know whether they were truly supporting me or just wanted a chance to see the real "witch" come out.  :)

3.  Finals Celebration

A trip to OH to celebrate the end of Fall 2011.  Hands down favorite memory was caroling in the snow in Cleveland with these delightful people.  It still causes warm fuzzies.

 4.  Bluebeard's Waiting Room

Wearing a shockingly large wig for my second opera performance with this cast of women.  Priceless.  Never mind the fact that they had to put up with my pretentious character, they also had to dress me, attach my wig and jewelry, and do my hair and makeup.  What fun!  What fun!

Yes, as a matter of fact, there was that much room under the hips.  :)

5.  Spring Break--NYC

Student rushing Don Giovanni at the Met!  Wonderful performance with two dear friends!



Brooklyn Bridge at night with those same friends and my bestest friend ever, My sister.

6.  Junior Recital 

Sadly, I do not have any pictures and the videos take a very long time to upload.  However, it was a highlight.  :)

Although I can hardly believe it, I am now a senior.  The next year looks exciting as well.  I will attempt to keep updated a little more regularly.  It's time to think Graduate Schools.  Yay!
