I was a shepherdess in Amahl and the Night Visitors (btw, it's a very charming opera. If you haven't seen it yet, you should!)
The women's choir and men's glee club had their Fall concert. I conducted the women's choir but only got a picture of my friend, Albee, conducting the men's glee club.
I helped Dr. Archibeque with a dinner party and was coveting her amazing plates (she got them in Mexico...)
I grew some extra facial hair in class one day... it was a long class...
I had a dress rehearsal (and concert) in the beautiful Santa Clara Mission.
It's my opinion that the ceiling is the most beautiful part of the Santa Clara Mission...
I actually got to attend a Christmas concert that I wasn't performing in!!! But I wrote the program notes, so I guess I did have some participation... (The Santa Clara Chorale, directed by Dr. Archibeque)
The front of the Mission is beautiful, too...
Peter says the Mission reminds him of home (Brazil). I think he's homesick. Hopefully we can go back soon!
It rained a lot last week... I bought an umbrella, used it for two days, and then it got stolen at church! Can you believe it?!?!?!? Stolen at CHURCH!
We are playing "Secret Santa" in choir and I haven't received any gifts. So the rules were that you had to give the person at least 3 gifts total, one for each week until the end of the semester (we started two weeks ago). A lot of people received a gift each day. And I didn't receive ANYTHING. So my friend brought me a gift...
It was a sympathy card that said "with deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts..." and he wrote, "Dear Julie, I hear your secret santa SUCKS or isn't following the rules..."
I cracked up laughing because Chris isn't even in choir! His girlfriend, my friend who is in choir with me, told him that I hadn't received any gifts, so they went out and bought me a beautiful scarf! I hope it's cold enough to wear it tomorrow!
