I'm having shooting pains in my heels. Every morning, my left one hurts so much when I get up that I can hardly put any weight on it.

Plus, I was so excited for opera studio this term...but we've been assigned our arias, and while the rest of the class will be preparing ones from operas by Massenet, Mozart, Donizetti and Menotti, I've been assigned "When Frederic Was a Little Lad" from The Pirates of Penzance. I guess at the bottom of my heart, I don't think of Gilbert and Sullivan as "real" opera, which I suppose is snobbish, but if even one other person in the class were doing something from The Mikado or whatever, I wouldn't feel so singled out or so childishly disappointed. And I really don't feel in a position to say anything about it to the instructors, because I was lucky to be admitted to the class at all.

Boo.

You could approach your instructor(s) and inquire (non accusingly and without sneering at Pirates of Penzance) that you noticed you were assigned that instead of a more classical piece and you were wondering if there was anything particular about the piece you needed to pay attention to as you're learning it.

Good point--I'm sure she wouldn't have assigned any of us the pieces that she did without thinking that each one has something important to teach us.

This actually makes me feel better.

Glad to help. I can understand how something like this might be disappointing, but assuming your instructors aren't assholes, there might be a good reason. And honestly, even if they're assholes, it wouldn't help for you to stomp up and demand why they gave you an inferior piece. Asking for their input and insight on why they gave you this one might give you a leg up. Good luck!

Oh gosh no, the instructors are definitely not assholes--and I wouldn't dream of pissing and moaning to them about it. Your advice is the best course--and thank you for the good wishes!

If it's been going on for a long time, it's probably time to consult a doctor who can refer you to a podiatrist.

I second that likely diagnosis. I have it and it sucks.
