A few days in and...

[thrihyrne]

… I'm sick. AUGH! I had a day of feeling as though I was swallowing razor blades, and pretending as though everything was fine. By late/early in the morning two nights ago, one of my roommates graciously offered me up some decongestants since, in my fitful sleep, I sounded as though I was drowning. So now I've been getting joking (but very sympathetic) comments about me being the group's newest tenor, or that I'm all of a sudden a smoky-voiced woman. Thanks to Boots I now have a decongestant nasal spray and am feeling much better, though my voice is still for crap. Thankfully I'd not lost my singing voice for our concert yesterday, since in that concert I was in no fewer than three small groups- and my voice held through and had decent vocal quality. Today is a totally free day, which is very appreciated, not the least because we had to be up and on the bus by 7:30 a.m. yesterday. We're in York and there's plenty for me to do, not the least: Medieval Walls to walk on! Minster! Towers!

I can't resize my photos, and it seemed to be a lot of trouble to upload given the erratic strength (but constant, yay) internet access, so I'm going to wait and post pictures when I get back home.

I've been trying to keep up with you all, and hope that things are well for the most part. Must say that I'm so glad to be out of the country!! I so adore being overseas. ♥
