Legend.....

wait for it.


.............-ary.

Legendary.

Right now I'm sitting here in a very non creeper fashion enjoying a little salad at the Crossroads on campus and in front of me is an old man. He is clearly close to 80 years old. A calzone and pasta for lunch. He has a british accent. To every other student he is just an old man. We talk to old people like children....but I know who this old man is.

Norman Bailey is a world-renowned opera singer from Europe. In the 1970's, Bailey was widely famous in the opera community and has graced the stage of most opera houses on the European continent. Think of all that travel, all those experiences that are stored in his brain.

And then I sit here and watch him eat in Rexburg, Idaho. All that knowledge. To most, just an old man eating lunch.

To those who know....treasures upon treasures of knowledge. A opera legend.

Thursday Thoughts

I miss Ryan. We only see each other like an hour or so a day right now. I love him SO much.

Carbs be gone....again.

I love my calling.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo. I made homemade steak quesadillas in celebration for me and Ry tonight. They were amazing.

Just Dance 2. Cardio. Enough said.

New MAC makeup = YES.

Madama Butterfly

I will be studying and performing this duet this semester for our Opera Workshop Class. I am PUMPED.

Monday thoughts.

Here are the summarizing thoughts for Monday:

1. Mondays are not my best days for being motivated but I still managed. My day started off a bit hectic. I was excited at the idea that I didn't have class until 11:30a so I thought "Ahhhh...I'll just stay in bed for a little while and take my time getting ready." This was at 10am. Then, as I looked at my calendar, I realized that today, was in fact, my first voice lesson with THE Stanford Olsen. Stanford is a guest professor this semester at school. He is an artist in residence at Florida State where he teaches primarily graduate school students and has had a very extensive performing career in opera. In essence, he's kind of a big deal. I am SOOOO excited to study with him this semester. Luckily this wasn't my first impression for him. We have met several times prior and he didn't mind that I was 10 minutes late, but I minded! However, all ended well and I am excited to see what the semester holds.

2. Just Dance. Thank you for getting me to move and sweat today.

3. Dear Rexburg Wind. I'm tired of not being able to open my windows.

4. I love Ryan. Only five and a half months left!!!

5. Sad for my good friend who got into some trouble over the weekend. He and his wife are in my prayers. I know the consequences of his actions are going to be severe...which just makes me so worried for him. Please pray for my friend as well.

6. Tuesdays are supposed to be my day off...but they have ended up being just as busy as the others! Gotta make that money I guess!!!

Loves to all!
