Turns out my sight-singing isn't quite as bad as I had feared.
Last night I sang evensong at the church I go to here, it was a little choir, just eight of us, and had been created over the week by the organist meaning that out first rehearsal was just over an hour before the service started. I'd seen the anthem the day before but nothing else and it actually went really well. The only problem was trying to remember all the silly little things about what this particular church does with the responses or where to breathe in the psalm but it worked :D
At the end of may we're singing a Jazz Eucharist which sounds very exciting, or at least very different.
In other news apparently the whole university has shut down for May bank holiday, you can't take books out of the library, all the cafes are shut and i had to sign in to get into a computer room. I know the staff need time off but it's exam term and anyway shutting all the cafes seems extremely dumb when they're right next to a gorgeous park which is full of people.
