Today we slept in. Well, we got up
for breakfast and promptly went back to bed, sleeping through lunch
entirely, which was to be on our own anyway. We had a rehearsal at
the hotel before going to the larger group rehearsal to work on the
song that our conductor never bothered to spend any time on during
the semester, and therefore we didn't know very well. After, we met
with the group in the afternoon at about two o'clock and went to
another 3+ hour rehearsal at the coldest church in the universe.
They at least turned the little space heaters on this time, and I had
on every sweater and coat I brought with me, so it wasn't as bad as
yesterday. Craig never went over the fourth movement in Lux Aeterna,
though, the one that we botched partially due to the super-loud organ
yesterday. I'm kind of mad about that, because we have just one more
rehearsal and he hasn't touched it.
After rehearsal we went to this
seafood restaurant that had a large tent-enclosed patio. They had
the same kind of bread with tomatoes crushed on it and also a tuna
and potatoe ball for an appetizer. Dinner itself was salmon, which
was really good, though the portions were kind of small. Bobby got
stuck with the tail end of the fish, and got an even smaller portion.
The other people at our table who couldn't finish theirs were
offering their food to him, which he took, because he was hungry.
While waiting for the bus, Bobby jumped around on things and
impressed people, including a group of Asian tourists who happened to
be just getting off their bus, and staff who kept looking on from
inside the restaurant. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel, and
rehearsed with just our chorus in the bar of the hotel which was
closed for the night. I was tired and really grumpy during this
rehearsal because we'd been singing all day and we have two concerts
tomorrow, so I'd like to actually be able to sing during them.
Anyway, after rehearsal, I grumpily went back up the to our room with
Bobby and went to bed.
