It has been one hell of a weekend. From Thursday through Sunday, it has all been choir stuff going on. 7pm until 9:30pm both Thursday and Friday nights and then 8:30am Saturday to 11pm and then 11am Sunday to 11pm. Exhausting yet exhillarating!
I had so much fun. In all honesty, I was about to quit the choir.. I was done with the politics and BS and I was feeling like it wasn't the growth I was expecting.. and then I got on stage and it was like a new me! I was reenergized. It was amazing. My solos for each of the 3 shows went well and we nailed the last concert in its entirety!
What a rush!
I am going to be rejoining the choir next year and maybe even the Christmas choir but for now, I will be focussing on the Opera. I booked an appointment with a vocal instructor for next Sunday..an hour one on one. I am excited and anxious to learn.. And then the opera practice runs from the 2nd of July through to the 11th of July.. intense from 6-10pm every weeknight. Crazy.
Sheila (one of the other 1st Sopranos and Brazillian Jujitsu instructor) asked me if I'd be interested in performing a duet with her for the Talent show next year.. I am excited about that.. it should be a lot of fun but also challenging.. AND any performances in the Talent show that they like will be put on the big stage for the final concert! The theme next year is Angels and Demons.. OoOoOooooh
I watched Burn Up this week. It was on in 2 parts. 4 hours in total. The first part had no protest scenes really but the second part had many more opportunities for us to make it on the big screen... well, Debbie made it on 3 or 4 times!!! Twice in scenes with Neve Campbell and once in a scene in the crowd. And then.. I saw ME!!!!! I made it into the movie!!! Of course it was me like 100 lbs heavier but it was me!!!! I am so excited!
It has been such a ride and things are just going to get so much busier. In a week I have a 4 day vacation and then a week after that the Opera workshop begins.. then when that ends its horseback riding!
I'm getting so busy with the second contract I have too. I am a little anxious about it because I haven't done much work on it yet. I almost regret taking the contract in the first place BUT it is such a good move for me careerwise. I just have to settle with the fact that I will be insanely busy.
At the end of July Lauren and I go to the Nine Inch Nails concert and then August 1st is Cirque Du Soleil. Holy when I booked those tickets it felt like so long ago.. now it seems so near!
Well busy is good. And happy is good. So in short, life is good!
Oh, and last night we had the wrap up party for the choir and I had 3 glasses of wine and a glass of champagne. It hit me so hard and today I feel like crap! lol. Thats what I get for lushing it up!
Oh and for the record, it is a really nice feeling to be able to go out and not once worry if I will fit someplace. Fantastic!
