Ok, so here it is. Its Thursday and the week started out really good, but somewhere, out of nowhere my mood changed, and off and on I've been in a funk for half the week. I feel the beginning of a cold or allergies or something not good coming on, and I realized I'm in need of strong juice! But I'm going to try to get lots of rest and drink lots of water and such, hopefully I'll nip it in the bud. I'll probably get some oranges today and really enjoy some vitamin C.

Yesterday with the weather being rainy and yucky outside, the kids were responding with unfocused craziness. They seem either uninterested or too wound up to focus, which can be very frustrating...and they're not the only ones. I've been a bit unmotivated this week, perhaps I'm not getting enough sleep at night.

Today I've been pretty nervous, probably for no good reason, but I sent my applications in for the Wichita Grand Opera auditions, which are a week from Sunday...I have a lot of work to do, thats if I even get an audition, I may have waited too long. Its nerve wracking, especially since its been difficult trying to keep up my voice while teaching and singing all day long. Mostly I'm just tired physically and vocally after school and I don't have the energy to practice. But I've had a few lessons with my voice coach and he seems to be pretty satisfied/hopeful, so we'll see what happens.
