- This week has been super busy. Today, in fact, marks the first time I will actually be home for dinner since Saturday. Thus, because I haven't had much time at home, there will be no Volsungasaga segment this week. I'm sorry - I will have one for up next week.
- One of the reasons I haven't been home is that this weekend is that our choir concert is this weekend, so there have been extra rehearsals. We're doing Verdi's Requiem with a full orchestra (I can't remember if I've mentioned that before), which is pretty cool. And we're in a new place, which is less so. Our normal venue doesn't have room for the orchestra so it makes sense that we're not there but when I was told that we were performing at Bainbridge Highschool, I was assuming a highschool auditorium. Instead, it is a weird concrete box of a room, with enormous concrete stairs where the audience will sit, with us on risers and the orchestra in between us on the floor. It pretty hideous and cold and basically looks like something out of a dystopian film. Eurgh.
- Also, rehearsal last night was something of a trial because we were told to be there in our places at 6 but we didn't actually start till 7. Which meant there was an hour, trapped in a concrete box, with all the various orchestra members tuning and warming up, and everyone else talking amongst themselves, making this enormous chaotic cacophony of sound and I really don't do well in that kind of situation. It makes me feel really nervous and on-edge and flinchy. So that was less than fun. Hopefully, we won't have to do that before the concerts.
- It's weird because I feel like I've been super busy for the last couple weeks but I also can't remember anything interesting I did, so mostly I feel stressed without feeling accomplished. It is annoying.
- Ah well. After this weekend, things will be better. And I have Norwescon to look forward to next week.
