Hell Week

You know, I really love singing as a hobby. Semi-professionally, even (okay, so getting paid for it would be nice). However, I keep forgetting how bad the week before a concert can get. Three-hour rehearsals every night - stumbling exhausted to bed only to get up way too early for work the next day - and do that again for the rest of the week. (To be fair, we have Wednesday off, if only because too many of us are in our church choirs and so have that practice on hump day).

Of course, the final product is so worth it. I've got a growing collection of CDs of the concerts in which I've performed - perhaps one day soon I'll get to be one of the soloists and then all of this work will truly have been worth it. :)
