Concert Tonight 12.19.09

Tonight was our Christmas Concert. My choir, Salt Lake Choral Artists Women's Choir, performed. Well, along with the rest of SLCA. It was an amazing concert. I loved singing 'Dancing Day' again. This time, I was singing Alto I and Soprano 2. Which has never happened since singing at The U with any of the choirs. I have always been Alto II. I loved singing in the upper register of my voice. It felt funny at first but after a few times, it just felt normal.

Ok, so let me start earlier than this. When I first joined up, I was told that I was needed as an Alto II. I can sing it easily. I was ok with that. I was helping Jane out. As the rehearsals went by, I noticed that it was difficult to sing the low notes. Odd I thought but I wasn't going to hurt my vocal chords. So I went to Jane about it and she told me that she had actually had me as an Alto I. Boy, did I feel silly. lol. She said, I thought that you were going to sing higher and so I made you an Alto I. Then she has me sing with the Soprano 2's in a few places. It is so nice to be singing up around a high F.

Back to the story - I was thoroughly enjoying myself singing higher. There was a slight problem though. Someone didn't get the memo about the No perfume/cologne/scented hairspray/lotion for performances. Someone was wearing perfume and it caused some havoc with my vocal chords. I was sucking on lozenges all night long. My throat started swelling up but I was lucky enough that it didn't go very far. I was still able to sing the higher parts. I was very blessed. The concert was fantastic. I had fun. We sounded good. That is what matters. It was a great concert.

T minus 10 hours

At 0900 I will be starting my 55 hours of externship at Midtown Manor as a CNA. I am excited to be doing this. I did 105 hours as a medical assistant at an Urgent Care and was BORED. Ok, so I wasn't really bored. I learned a lot. But it was slower than I was told it would be. You see, I have to have stress and a fast pace to like something at a job. That is why I went into the medical field for the fast pace. I am really leaning towards getting my EMT training and then pursue becoming a Paramedic.

I don't know but I will enjoy doing this externship. I can't wait. I need to get to sleep but I am excited and wanting my friend, Andy, to come over and hang but he is playing basketball. Oh well. I will fall asleep eventually. Good night all. More tomorrow!
