Dec. 2nd, 2014 11:53 amWeight Watchers doesn't admit that singing is exercise. I say that standing up for three hours holding a score in one hand and using your abs that much ought to be worth something since it gave me a sore neck, sore shoulder and sore feet. (We had the first dress rehearsal last night.) And I have GOT to remember to bring water with me tomorrow, because by the end of last night my throat felt like there was a wad of crumpled-up medium grit sandpaper stuck in it. Apparently Sanders Theater's climate control runs on the dry side.
Sanders is an interesting place to sing in, too. For some reason I'm finding it harder to hear the other sections in there. They're muffled somehow, so I have to listen harder. And when we get to the end of a section and the whole place is ringing, it always surprises me. (Not that we shouldn't be able to make the place ring since there are a hundred or so of us.)
Unfortunately I got such a severe earworm from the rehearsal that I woke up five times last night with it stuck in my head. Having gone to bed at 11:30, I woke up at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, 5:30 and 6:30. Which, when the alarm goes off at 6:50, was almost not worth staying in bed for except there was a sleeping cat sleeping all over my foot. Today is being brought to you by dint of ruthless caffeination and the happy thought that tonight I can go home and fall straight into the bathtub if I want to, with a slight detour for feeding the cats.
So that's my evenings this week. As of yesterday, I'm spending my days classifying all the lectures in the DMD curriculum according to a five-step content scale, from basic to advanced/interdisciplinary. The idea is that we're going to let the curriculum committee loose on this in January so they can play with it, but I have to give them something to start with. Fortunately it's not all that difficult because I already had the curriculum blueprint with all the lectures in it, and as opposed to last year when I created the thing, now I know what it means. It's nice to have most of the parts of a clue. But I'd really like it to be August already so we can stop agonizing about the curriculum change and Do It. Of course the process will have some lumps in it, but we can iron those out as they arise.
Speaking of processes with lumps in them, apparently my pet insurance wants a diagnosis even though I checked off the "wellness visit" box on the claim forms. I guess I'm just going to eat the $700, because this seems to be one of those processes in which you can spend a stupid amount of time getting rejections for petty reasons before you finally stumble over the right thing, and I ain't got time for that.
