Sun's Blog - Week 2

Today I went to Jodi's house at 1 o clock to finish off making the program books. I printed three double sided papers (manually... wasn't fun!) total of 70 copies of each page. I've been volunteering for Jodi whenevershe had a concert coming up, but I never printed or edited the program books before, so it was interesting to do the job. After printing out all the papers, I folded them in half put them together, and stapled them. After a while my hands started to hurt... but other than that, I had fun! Actually the reason I went to her house so late was because Jodi and I planned to go to Oberlin College. Oberlin is renowned to have excellent classical musicians, and Jodi knows many of them. Jodi frequently go to Oberlin or CIM recitals to hear students' music, and if she likes him/her, she decides to put them on her concerts. This time when wevisited Oberlin wasn't for picking out students. Julia Dawson, a soprano, played for Jodi couple of times and she is graduating this year. Jodi wanted to see her recital before Julia head off to her graduate school.So, Jodi and I drove for about an hour to be at Oberlin. Julia's mini concert was at the coffee shop, and there were a lot of people waiting to hear her music. The concert wasn't really formal because it was a coffee house,but it was exciting to see how people were enjoying the concert casually. The songs that Julia and the other baritons sang were about coffee. Julia portrayed a woman who was addicted to caffeine, and basically her dad wants toforbid her from drinking coffee. I loved how Julia made very funny facial expressions to deliver that she was addicted to coffee. All of the audience loved her/him singing! The concert lasted for about 30 minutes. After the coffee house, Jodi and I had a dinner with Yejin Lee, who is also a senior. Jodi told me that Yejin plays piano beautifully. I wanted to see her playing piano, but we just had a dinner.Around 8 o' clock, Jodi and I went back home.
