Who shot that arrow in your throat, who missed the crimson apple?
I got home from my choral performance about an hour ago. So glad it's done with! I didn't feel like it went too terribly well - there were actually a couple movements of Brahms that I had maybe sung once before the rehearsal today, and I was literally sight reading what felt like new stuff during the concert - but Niall said that it was a "powerful performance" and he really enjoyed it, so I suppose that's what matters! It's so much easier to tell when something goes wrong when you have the music in front of you, anyway. And oh yeah, NIALL CAME! :D None of my other friends did, but he came, by himself, and gave me a hug of congratulations after. And he genuinely seemed to have enjoyed himself! (He's a huge music geek, so it's unsurprising, but still ♥) He's such a good friend, I am so glad to know him. And it was really good to talk to him after not seeing him for 2 weeks! Made me realize how much I miss everyone.
I was so ridiculously uncomfortable during the performance, and now I am ridiculously sore, from standing up for an hour. Wtf? My shoulders and neck are killing me from holding the awkward score folder, and my feet were actually numb about 10 minutes into it, and my knee that I messed up in karate was complaining loudly. I feel like I just ran a marathon, not sang in a concert >.< Ow ow ow. I totally bailed on the reception because I needed pajamas and my bed. And chocolate. Gah.
In happier news, I got an email from my study abroad coordinator back home responding to my questions about what requirements I have met while studying here, and he said that I am totally on track for completing my chemistry major, with the biochemistry option and math minor as I wanted! YAY!!!! I was so happy to hear that, because I was really getting quite worried. \o/
Re: texting James - how often is too often? He didn't respond to my text earlier today, and I don't want to be pushy about possibly hanging out tomorrow, but then again I really really want to see him and it sounded like he wanted to see me. I think I'll wait until tomorrow when I'm actually on campus and text him to see what's up. I'm dying to know if he thinks something could happen between us too!
I have my Kate back!! I just sat and chatted with her in her room for like 45 minutes, it's so good to see her again. She's totally my rock of sanity among the American students. She was in the States visiting her family and boyfriend for the whole break, so I hadn't seen her in 3 weeks! Yay for life going back to normal :)
Still ridiculously in love with Northern Downpour. (I want to see them play it live!!) Also addicted to The Hush Sound's "Wine Red," randomly, even though it's from the older album. I just looove that song, and the video's pretty presh.
