Start: 9:45am

Total: 7.25 hrs

     Today was overall a pretty slow day in the office, but I've been pretty busy this week so it was nice to have a break. First I got to talk to Jane about her upcoming recital on December 4th, I promised her that I'd be there and I;m very excited to see it! After finishing some social media posts, I was assigned a new task to create DVD's for an upcoming lecture which is talking about the following composers: Puccini, Verdi, Strauss, and Massenet. To be honest, I'm not too sure what the lecture is about but I'm near positive that it's a series so maybe I'll be able to watch one of them! Puccini is the composer of my favorite opera, La Bohème, so I found listening to the Puccini excerpts especially nice. Kyle had already finished the Verdi one so I didn't need to worry about that. The Strauss and the Massenet excerpts were really cool to listen to, especially the Strauss ones since they were from his opera Salome. The arias sung in that opera are honestly just downright creepy, so it was really cool to feel so uneasy while listening to all of the excerpts. This did take a while, but that was the only assignment I had today.
