You can't turn THIS off

Oh the joys of being in UAB choir!
so i just got back from Charleston, WV...my final adventure before heading off to Chile to start my "spring" semester abroad.
UAB choir was selected to sing at the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) Southern Convention this past thurs/fri... so we went, we saw, we conquered...so to speak
It was a wonderful 10 hour bus ride up and 10 more wonderful hours back - a ride which included everything from naps and movies, to religious discussions and truth or dare. oh yeah and who can forget that lovely southern gospel blasting from the front with added bass slides which got pretty mundane after hearing them for the umpteenth time.

As for the choral aspect of the trip, i thought we did an excellent job. Not a perfect performance, but that's to be expected. we had a few pitch problems that WERE unexpected but nonetheless i thought it was a great concert. my favorite part was when my nose started running at the beginning of "if i can help somebody" and i couldn't move to wipe it...oh wait that part sucked. and then there's the fact that it was my last concert for awhile and i got sick the day before - go figure. but we got up there, did our best, smiled and Blazed the Stage as i like to say :)
I'm so proud of everyone in choir!! We worked so hard and have accomplished so much this year...I just want to wish you all the best of luck for the rest of the semester i know that the "solemn vespers" and NYC will be awesome and who knows what Copeland will throw at you for the Spring concert...probably great fun songs and i'll be jealous

anyways so tomorrow (saturday) i'm headed home to pack for Chile and spend some time with the fam before i leave monday.

i'm totally exhausted from the trip and still kinda sick so it's definitely bed time!

also, my address in chile is on facebook if you need it (hint hint send packages) hehe or if you want to receive email updates and you haven't yet let me know!
