Rainy Day
Yet another Saturday where I'm stuck at work. This week has been my Spring Break and it hasn't been that great. Let's see, I worked Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday I was at the ENT most of the day (They did a Laryngoscopy on me to check out my vocal chords and stuff. Minor swelling, but nothing that some good ol' antibiotics won't cure. I also couldn't hear anything hardly out of my left ear, but now that is better. Stupid ear infections...), Thursday I observed at Minor High School (a joy as always), Friday, I worked, and today (guess what...) I am working again.
Okay, so I am officially in love with Mozart's Requiem. I went to the library on Thursday and I checked out a recording of it done by the Academy and Chorus of St. Martin in the Fields conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and it is superb! I also checked out a book called Choral Masterworks by Michael Steinberg. It is a listener's guide to many choral masterpieces. I'm reading it along with listening to Requiem. It is very insightful.
I'm really releived that Pirates of Penzance is over with. It was loads of fun and I was so glad that I got to be a part of it. From what I hear, everyone who saw it loved it and had nothing but positive things to say about it. Congrats to all who were involved!
Well, I don't have much to say at this time, so I shall conclude this post.
Adieu!
