Oh, I really do apologize for hardly writing at all. Okay, for really not writing at all. I'm a horrible person. Okay, I'm not a horrible person. I'm just a very, very busy person.
Thank you to all of you who are continuing to attempt to keep in touch with my life via this blog. You're keeping up with your side of the blogging game. I, however, and not keeping my end of the deal.
I hope to change that, from now on out. I will put time into my schedule to blog at least once a week for you all. I know that that's substantially less than last year, but I'm going to do it. Notice that I said, "At least once." It's the best I can do.
Okay, okay, enough of my grovelling.
Now for one of those really boring, really annoying, all-encompassing updates on the life of Raissa.
About a month ago, I was offered and accepted a job as a section leader in a choir at a church here in Boulder. I attend weekly rehearsals and church services and get paid to sing. Which is what I want to do with my life, so it's perfect. Not to mention that the choir is small, but pretty darn talented and that the director has amazing ambition and a great vision for the choir. It's an adorable church and a really great space to sing in, and I'm glad that I have the opportunity to be working with these people.
I was cast in the chorus of CU's fall opera production. Okay, so this year it's not so much an opera as a musical theatre piece, but if we focus on the important thing here, which is that I was actually cast, then we're thinking about the most important thing. Rogers and Hammerstein's Carousel will be performed in CU's Macky Auditiorium on October 22, 23, and 24. Visit www.cupresents.org to purchase tickets. If my parents can make it all the way from ND, you can make it from wherever you are. I'm singing a very small solo, so cheer loudly!
I'm still working at the Center of the American West. Sewing purses. Don't get me started on that topic, because I might freak out. But if you must know, I'll send pictures once they're completed.
Kenny and I have officially scheduled our junior recital. We'll be performing on Tuesday, April 12th, at 7:30 pm in Grusin Music Hall. Put it on your calendar now. I don't want you to miss it. We'll be singing some stuff together, which is very exciting, because he's a bass and I'm a soprano. Oh, and because we both rock.
The new apartment is still great as ever. If I had a camera, I'd send you pictures, but if you'll recall, I put that camera through the washing machine last year in March-ish. Mom, don't worry, a digital camera will be on my Christmas list. Along with some other stuff that I'm sure you'll start asking about soon.
I wish I could come see you! But it's like 17 hours from where I'm at. Bummer. I hope things keep going well for you. I miss you!
