One of the interesting things about this career is you have periods of extreme stress followed by periods of NOTHING. In the past 2 months, I had about 10 auditions, 2 operas, and 1 concert, in addition to my teaching responsibilities. Now all of that is over. On the horizon I have a soloist concert, a recital, and a show, but for these couple of weeks, I have very little to do. I usually enjoy the quiet for 2 days and then go a little crazy. But I remember what one of my coaches in undergrad would tell me: find the pockets of time between hectic periods to do everything you can't do during the storm." Here's a list of what needs doing before the crazy starts up again:
-wedding planning (invitations, band list, centerpiece design)
-learning music for the next series of events
-TAXES
-pick a school and figure out where I'm going to be in the fall.
A pretty weighted list when I see it all written out. Yikes. Time to get over the perceived "calm" and make some of this list disappear.
