My gaijin card is at the airport and after several calls (made by my supervisor, boss, and one of English teachers) I have some forms to fill out and send and then they will mail it to me. So glad that's resolved.
Went to choir tonight. Everyone was happy to see me and I was reminded why I haven't quit yet. Kondo-san asked me about a concert in October at the hospital and if I could come. I didn't really understand but I said probably I could come, thinking it would be written somewhere on a choir announcement sheet so I could check the date. Then she has Suzuki-san translate for her and it turns out she wants me to sing a solo!
Uh....that changes things.
I'm hesitant to agree because it's a song I don't know although she promised she would teach it to me. I have the JLPT and Mozart's Requiem (which is stepping up its practices to several times a month) in addition to the twice weekly choir practices (which I'm thinking of telling them I can only make it once a week until after the JLPT.) But on the other hand I'm not here to pass the JLPT per say. I'm here to experience Japan and join in the community and this would be one way of doing that. On the other hand, I'm not really a soloist. Even singing in English makes my knees shake. I don't know about Japanese. *waffles*
