My uneventful life

I think I'm dying. period.

I started feeling ill on Thursday during practicum, so I went home, called my voice teacher and cancelled my lesson that day and tried to get out of choir, but I was made to go, though I didn't have to sing. I was annoyed and didn't feel good, but I survived it.

Friday came, I felt about the same, but it wasn't absolutely horrible. I went to work, got through ok until lunch. Then, at lunch, my guy, who was going to come down this weekend, decided not to so I wouldn't get him sick. I was really upset, but I understood. The worst part of it is that normally we sleep in cedar because that way we can sleep next to each other. My mom's really cool with us, and we can stay there, we just have to sleep in seperate rooms. I can't say I blame her, but still. It means the extra drive. Anyway, I left some stuff up in Cedar because I was planning on going back up there. Well, I went back up there, because I left some music and clothes I needed for a competition on Saturday up there (the competition was in St. George too!). It was really annoying and I was quite sad, but I got through it ok. I did get to see him online for a bit, however.

I tried very hard to sleep, but I couldn't sleep because I couldn't breath. It just didn't work well. Needless to say, I TRIED to get extra sleep. The bad, icky sleep I did get wasn't long probably about 6 hours.

On Saturday, I tried frantically to wake my voice up for the NATS Las Vegas Chapter competition. I tried steaming my voice, I tried Mucinex, and I drank water like a fish. I also tried warming up slowly, and the only thing my voice started to do was hurt more. So, after grabbing clothes and my music and hoping that my voice would feel better, I drove down hoping for a miracle. Did I get one? No... actually my voice sounded and felt worse when I got there, dispite the fact that I didn't vocalize on the way down.

When I got there, I learned that the kid who always took the division wasn't singing, I was quite sad. ;__; I so could've taken first place! And, my voice teacher wasn't exactly happy with the fact that I didn't sing, because he told me that I would have won my division. Sadness. I then worked after that because I hate calling in. I really just do. It was a miserable day at work, but my sickness got even worse the next day. Basically, I went home and slept right after my shift until 1/2 hour before my next shift on Sunday. I lasted a few hours(about 3), before I shut down and was sent home. I then preceed to sleep on and off through monday. Monday night, I was called about a rehersal at 9pm for the string quartet for a piece in choir. Well, I wasn't happy about doing it because I felt less than good, but I decided I'd do it. I was on my way out of town when the 1st violinist called and said they moved the rehersal up to 8pm. (this was right at that time) and asked if I could come over, if I felt well enough to. I then explained that I had been staying at my Mom's, because she helped take care of me, so I wasn't in Cedar yet. Well, they had the rehersal without me, and it was EXTREMELY annoying to push myself to get up there when we didn't even rehearse.

Well, I got through classes today. It wasn't great, and I wasn't able to sing, but I got through them, thank goodness! I'm still feeling icky, but better than this weekend, so I'm hoping to be mended soon! *crosses fingers*

So, that is indeed my ill weekend. Oh, and if anyone wants to hear a recording of my senior voice recital, I have it on my bf's website at: http://www.pmeo.org/~foxx/recital/ I'm not very proud of the 2nd piece, but I'm extremely happy with the last 5, so listen and love! <3

Night all! Hopefully I'll wake up tomarrow not a zombie!
