omg, this day is making me crazy. crazy!a left me about an hour's worth of work to do and here it is, 2 1/2 hours later and she's in a closed door meeting and i'm sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, thinking about everything i really should be doing. lkdfhalkdjfh.

i have spent most of my time googling some of the people who will be in the opera. am feeling... inadequate. they are all so accomplished and jet-set-y. and i'm all... i have a church choir. meep. oh, woe is my poor little self esteem. it's trying, it really is. but times are rough.

oop, she's coming out of the meeting. ::looks busy::

you also had/have:

experience conducting that choir

experience conducting other choirs

experience in choirs

experience with very talented/famous soloists

solid musical education

a thorough understanding of the story the music is trying to tell (maybe not yet, but you will)

talent that was professionally recogized when you were about 10

the confidence of a pro who believes in you enough to put some of her reputation on the line

I realize that last one can cut both ways, but so be it. You also have a big cheering section - we may not all have musical credentials, but we're pulling hard for you.

I'm sure I've left a few things out ...
