Life just got SOOOO Complicated

Oh Life!

So I thought that my schedule was easy and I thought my classes would be easy but let me say that I was WRONG! My life just got so stressful but I sorta like it. So yesterday was a very easy fun day. I got to school at 8:30 for my 9:00 German class. I walk in and I don't know who my professor is. All I know is that she is not speaking any English to us. NEIN ENGLISCH!!! (meaning no english) I start to freak out a little. She speaks a little bit of English when she tells us what our homework is so that we understand everything that we are suppose to do. She didn't speak any english for at least 45 minutes. It was intense. After that I had nothing planned for the day and I thought life would be easy. I went to go practice in a practice room across from the school. I like to call them the Bomb Shelters because they actually look like bomb shelters. Its because they are sound proof. Back to practicing. So I went to go practice and I warmed up for about 30 minutes and then decided that I would take 5 minute break so I lie down and accidently fall asleep for 2 hours. I woke up and had to go to a rehearsal with someone. We then practiced for 30 minutes. I decided also that I wanted to go to the Opera that night. I saw Falstaff by Verdi. It was very interesting. It was my 6th Opera I have seen since I have been in Vienna. I'm really excited to see a lot more. So anyway that was my day yesterday and then today happened..... So I go to my first class - The Lied - taught by a great guy named Dr. Solvik. We get in class and we talk about history and then we move really really fast into some music theory. It has been about 8 months since I have done any theory and my brain was rusty. He was disappointed in our class because our brains weren't working. We then got our homework and I have to read these big packets and analyze a Beethoven Lied. But I really do like the class. I really am going to learn a lot. I will just have a lot to do in the class too. I then went to practice again and then I had my Music History class. I actually understand was is going on in this class, but then I had a 3 hour Music Workshop. This is where life got complicated. So I went in ready to sing. After singing realized that my voice is a little shot because I have practiced so much today. I had to also sing a new piece that went really well. I have to memorize it in a month. We will see how it goes. The part about my life becoming complicated is the brass coach came up to me and asked if I could have a piece ready by Tuesday. I haven't looked at the piece yet but I said I could try and he said Good. I sorta regret it because the piece is 12 pages long and in German. I sing with a harp and a Horn. I have to learn this by Tuesday. I hope it works out. I also found out I have to schedule coaching each week with my accompanist, and then I realized on top of all this music I am learning I also have to do a recital. DEAR GOD!!!! My voice teacher is in Russia for the next 2 weeks and I won't have a lesson until March and then I have to give a recital sometime in May. I'm just a little nervous about the whole situation. You might not think that my life is complicated but I'm sorta freaking out. Everything is fine though. I will get through it and I will conquer it!!!!!

Love,
