I figured out what's been dragging my life down so much

Being in a leadership position for a singing group is tough, especially when people decide to be divas. I don't really know what to tell you, except that I feel your pain.

I know what you mean... we had some of these group-dynamic issues in Madrigals a couple of years ago (as Zoe likely remembers) and it was really hard sometimes for me to get motivated for rehearsals. The two things that helped me some -- 1) really organizing/taking control of rehearsal flow (few things are more frustrating than the "figuring out when to quiet people down," so eventually I stopped trying to figure out the right time and just did it). In fact, I think that this was part of what made last year in Mads more enjoyable; there was a higher level of organization/control coming in from the co-directors, which created a better rehearsal environment. 2) Using the music to help get me back into enjoying the rehearsal, rather than letting the rehearsal sap the joy out of the music-making. I know this one is more easily said than done

So you're in charge this year? Well that's a) fantastic that you're that awesome and b) sucks because you can't just leave
