holy shiz-nit...my grades are in

I must say I'm more relieved than I think I'll ever be able to express. I thought this semester was honestly going to be the one to undo all my doing. But thankfully things turned out alright.


CONCERT CHOIR (1 credit hour)..........................A
-I was a student conductor in concert choir. It was an amazing experience.

WOMEN'S CHOIR (1 credit hour)........................A
-I hated women's choir; way too much estrogen. NEVER AGAIN.

CHAMBER CHOIR (1 credit hour).......................A

PRIVATE OBOE LESSONS (1 credit hour)................A

PRIVATE VOCAL LESSONS (1 credit hour)..............A

SMALL ENSEMBLES (1 credit hour)......................A
-I played the oboe in a trio. That was a lot of fun!

MUSIC HISTORY & LIT (3 credit hours)................A-

FORM & ANALYSIS (3 credit hours)..................B
-The bane of my existence. I came to realize how much I DON'T know after taking this class.

OPERA WORKSHOP (1 credit hour)......................A
-I was able to play the Queen of the Night from Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE. It was a great stretching opportunity for me. Give me another 10 years and hopefully I'll have tackled the aria I performed.

ADVANCED CHORAL CONDUCTING (2 credit hours).......A-

STRING PRACTICUM (1 credit hour)....................A-
-I learned the fundamentals of the upright bass, cello, viola, and violin in this class. I quite enjoyed myself.

STRING METHODS & LIT (2 credit hours)......A-
-Another bane of my existence. Only it's because the teacher wouldn't teach but would take every opportunity he could to test us on what he didn't teach. Quality, I must say. I wrote to the dept chair and requested to meet with her and this Professor to discuss ways this class could be more beneficial. I still haven't received a response to my email.


GPA: 3.7


I'm going to take some rather large breaths and count my lucky stars. Wow. 12 classes in one semester, totaling 18 credit hours. I hope to never do that again. Ever.

THANK YOU'S:
