Back to School

My new schedule features my first 8:00AM class since high school.  In order to wake up at 7, I've downloaded Hugh Jackman singing "O What a Beautiful Morning" onto my phone and set it as my alarm.  I'm not sure how it motivates me, exactly, but it seems to work.

I had my first meeting with Professor Serghi today.  She's been my advisor all four years here, but she's been gone for the past year and a half on sabbatical.  I played her some of the music for Usher, and she seemed to really like it.  She asked what Dr. Bower thought of it, and I said "who is Dr. Bower?"  She proceeded to grab my arm and lead me downstairs because I apparently should know this person.  While he wasn't in his office, she demanded that I immediately write him an e-mail, because he is currently writing a musical version of Alice in Wonderland and he would be a big help as far as tips about how to get your musical produced go.  So I did that.

Beyond that, I have a meeting with her again in two weeks where I am to show her whatever more work I've done on the musical between now and then.  We've set the date of March 12th for auditioning and securing musicians, and I'll start rehearsing them for the concert right after spring break.
