Midas

Some days it seems like everything I touch turns to gold.

Today was one of those. I got a call from my voice teacher at 2 in the morning while I was at a party, saying that he had an extra ticket for me to see Plácido Domingo in Adrian Lecouvreur at the Metropolitan. The bus left at 6:40 in the morning, so I didn't get any sleep (once I got back to the dorm from the party, took a shower, and did my laundry so I'd have something appropriate to wear for an opera, it was already 6:00)... but I did get to spend a day in NYC and watch one of the most talented tenors in the world sing an opera whose plot and music I really enjoyed, entirely for free.

Today felt a lot like gold to me.
