First day today at Cate School/Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. The only thing I forgot to bring is a t.v. I thought I didn’t need it, but I do. Even though I only need one channel, it would help a lot. Hopefully, my dad’s going to get me one so that Mona would be able to bring it on Tuesday. She’s coming to see the “Introduction of Vocalists and Vocal Pianists” at Abravanel Hall at Miraflores/Music Academy. So far so good. I’ll try to keep track of the days. I may skip one, but I’ll try to be strict with the exact count when I do the journals. Check back later for more…

p.s. I forgot to inform everyone that I will be singing the title role in Benjamin Britten’s “Albert Herring” with Opera UCLA in the last week of February 2004… yehey for me!
