My singing final was today. My professor said I did a great job and he I'm on the right track. Liz didn't record it, I forgot to give her my phone; so I figured I'd just sing to Darrin when I got home. I did, and it was hard to sing with him listening. I'd sang to a room full of people earlier and I could barely sing to him. I only sang the second song, the one I was proud of, Tu Lo Sai in the high key. When I was done, he said he didn't think opera is "my thing".

He said that opera singers make weird faces and that you can hear them from very far away. That really hurt my feelings. Italian Arias have helped my voice blossom more than it ever has while I sang in glee club, church choir or anything else. So... I don't know. I picked the songs I did to dedicate them to Darrin, and the whole story of Tu Lo Sai is that someone loves someone else. They're saying "you already know how much I love you, look in your cruel heart and you'll know". So I guess it wasn't worth singing at all. I'm gonna continue singing, but I think from now on I'll only sing for my professors.
