Wednesday June 8, 2005 and Thursday June 9, 2005
I had such a wonderful lesson with Dr. Yenne today. We talked about performance anxiety and presenting myself with nobility and confidence. He even tested me at the end of the lesson by saying he's going to be someone unimpressed with me and he's going to be vocal about it as I sing. And I was able to keep confidence and even improved my artistry as I sang. I just kept thinking that I know I'm talented and anyone who knows anything will realize it and love me! I know it sounds egotistical, but Dr. Yenne said that's what I should think to keep confidence. He told me that I'm tall, gorgeous and talented and I should present myself and perform as such.

This Saturday, we're all going to the Boboli Gardens and the Pitti Palace that were owned by the very powerful Medici family. I'm looking forward to it to take pictures of the Gardens. I'm hoping to make Dad jealous that he wasn't there. Hehe! Wink! Then, maybe he'll want to come to Florence and take me for his translator/guide. Hahaha! I'll be sending a few postcards to a few people, so keep a look out for those. I also want to say thank you those to who have emailed me, called or left comments on my journal! It means a lot to me that you are thinking about me.

On my lunch break, Dru showed me a place that had cute clothes that were inexpensive. So, Valerie and I went in and I found some cute white pants and they were super long. And they were only €20. So, she (the lady working there) gave me what size she thought I was. Yeah, well, she was wrong. I couldn't even zip it up for fear of tearing it at the seams. So, I asked her for a larger size and she gave me whatever size that was (I couldn't find a size tag anywhere!), and that, at least, went on and zipped up, but it was so tight that you could see the material pulling and every curve of my body! Eeks! Plus, it was thin, white material, so I couldn't make it work. So, I asked her for another size and she said "This is the modern look." And I said that it wasn't flattering and I would like a bigger size. And she shot her nose in the air and said "We don't carry sizes larger than that." I said "anywhere in anything???" And she said No. I couldn't believe it. I'm not that big! In fact, I think I'm on the thin side of average and they didn't carry sizes big enough for even me. How sad. Mom said I should've asked her "Well then, where do the fatties shop?" I LOVE YOU MOM! Oh well, they didn't get my business!I went to the markets after the afternoon classes and got a pretty colorful scarf, a shirt and a pink poncho. Mary Ellen, Valerie, and I met some really nice people running one of the scarf stands and talked to them for awhile and they made us a deal so we sang for them and they took pictures. It was so fun. By the time we finished, a huge crowd had gathered around to watch us and applauded. It was so fun! Then, we continued to walk down the street and a guy selling leather jackets wanted us to sing for him, and he gave us €6 to get gelato for singing for him. It was cute. Then, we got our gelato and went home! It made up for being implied I was fat by that snooty girl at that store! Haha!! Ciao! Baci!
