Monday/Tuesday – Day 245/246
April 5, 2013
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to do a repeat of Monday/Tuesday last week. There was no way I could miss Physics this week, and I was already dangerously behind on my other lectures. I had missed a full week of Glee, and was one strike away from failing choral society (at which 100% attendance is required). Thus, while I dressed up nicely for the day and managed lunch at Hillel, my day was mostly sitting in the back in lectures, listening quietly.
In the evening, after classes and my recitation that I’d had to prepare for chag very carefully (it went really well), I had a large block of rehearsals. Unfortunately the breaks didn’t line up with Hillel properly and as a result I missed out on dinner. Which effectively meant missing out on food. Thus, I asked Michal to save me a take away box for later. Now, I’m not sure whether it was the thing of pickles I ate, or the semi cooked chicken, but something in my day didn’t agree with me and I was in distracting pain for the next twelve hours, gaining very little sleep and as a result, not doing particularly well on Tuesday.
Tuesday was another physics lecture and more rehearsals. Singing was great! Had a good time with my songs and as always, a little progress. Today was also our first rehearsal for Time To Shine (more details to follow in the next few weeks) and I’ve gotta say, we sounded pretty awesome, despite the baritones really stretching to sing consistent E#s. And then, finally, after that, CHAMETZ!!! So excited. Real food! Sushi was first order.
Full PGC rehearsal later that day was also there, but I was pretty distracted. Food was the only thing on my mind.
Another Intermission

The reason for my lack of frequent posting this past week has been pretty strong. Starting from Sunday I have been involved in the Glee Club ‘Hell Week’. A nightmare week of rehearsals till well past midnight every day. I have to go to bed now. 2AM. Can’t function much longer… will write more soon.
Sunday/Monday – Day 160/161
January 9, 2013
Sunday was yet another day of the hard slog. However by this point I was starting to enjoy rehearsals more as we made a little more progress. I even managed the tap dance at the regular speed. However, the process was pretty exhausting and my this point it was wearing down even the most committed of clubbers.
Monday was much the same, nothing to report but feeling a little under the weather. However, Christian, another clubber was taking some fantastic photos available at the following link http://imgur.com/a/hgin1.
After our final fun-as-hell week rehearsal we all rambled over to the Glouse to have a few drinks and watch past shows, which was a bit of a party, that I left a little early to catch up on some sleep.
