Juggling and Singing

Juggling school, apartment hunting, and getting my class schedule organized for both the summer and next fall is proving to be quite a challenge. And of course, on top of all of that, is our rehearsal schedule for Nian. This past week was our music rehearsals with Juri and it was great to hear all the characters' voices come to life (not that hearing all the songs sung by Melissa's many voices wasn't entertaining). However, it did prove how many songs I'm singing and how many lines of lyrics and dialogue I'll need to memorize. It's quite a bit. But, like any other show I've done, it all seems overwhelming and unattainable in the beginning. However, with love, hard work and dedication (sounds like a relationship...) it all comes together and I know on opening night we'll all be bursting with excitement. Everyone's been really wonderful and we all can't wait till Gary (that lucky guy has been on vacation) will return and complete our family.
