Wednesday Woes

Waiting Room of Gil Coterie School

Today went really fast and not a whole lot happened... sort of. I woke up later in the day and my sister called me soon afterwards saying that she was coming home. Apparently, my Dad had lost the use of the entire right side of his body after his surgery. They weren't sure why but we later found out that one of the tumors they removed on his brain had three hairline blood vessels in it that were attached to the brain. It didn't come up in the MRI so they removed the tumor which caused three mini strokes. So he's not talking or moving the right side of his body at the moment. My sister freaked out and had to come home. We decided that we are going down tomorrow instead of Friday. The only sad part about that was that we had to return our Dark Knight tickets for Friday morning =( Oh well, family is more important than a movie. 

Anyway, we didn't go down today because I had a vocal lesson that I FINALLY got scheduled at the Gil Coterie School in Pittsford, NY. As I've mentioned before, it was my first lesson in 5 years so I was a bit nervous. I went in there and showed the guy the song and we did some warm up exercises. I had to face him as he played piano so that he could see my technique and breathing. It was kinda strange but being next to the piano was really nice! I eventually opened up, he gave me some techniques and I was belting like I used to. I started to sing the song and he was really surprised and said that I had an amazing and strong voice and that I'll blow them away at the auditions! I couldn't believe that I could sing again! It made me miss it actually... It makes me really want to get this McGurkus job because I'd love to sing and do circus. That'd make me really happy =) He told me to practice over the weekend and I'm going to come back for another lesson on Monday before I leave. Wicked sweet.

At night my sister and I started to watch "Penelope" but that sucked so we started watching "Fool's Gold" against my will but it ended up being at least entertaining. We juiced some veggies and fruit and drank that. I did my rehab exercises which felt really nice and my back is really starting to get better. I'll be sitting on my head in no time ^_^

Sorry for the lack of pictures...I didn't realize I only took one that day =P
