Been thinking...
about getting rid of a lot of social media to stop myself from spending so much time on it. I’m thinking about having my boyfriend change my password for my hulu and netflix accounts (so he can still use them since he does) as well as my facebook for the whole month of April. I’ll still tumblr since it’s also my workout log etc but facebook really does take up too much of my time.
Also, I have a new opera role to learn!! I’ve been accepted to the summer program I did last year (I was Alice in their production of Verdi’s Falstaff) and this year they’re doing Mozart’s Don Giovanni where I’d be playing Donna Anna! That means I have a whoooole opera to learn by June 2nd. And a shit load of money to pay for travel and tuition. I’m really excited though because I’ve always wanted to play this role and I finally get to! However, I also need to do some seriously weight loss for it. I’d have (technically) 2 love interests in the show and honestly to feel comfortable being “intimate” with someone on stage I’d need to feel more comfortable in my own body. I’ll make up my mind at the end of the week about the social media thing.
We shall see.
26 days.
That is all I have left to learn and memorize my opera role for my summer program. There are two simple sayings I keep in mind at times like these when I feel like ripping my hair out…
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…
and obviously,
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…
I can do this and I will do this. Here we go.
