Monday 29th June 2009

Inset day - one of those rare moments that I actually get a chance to get some sleep but no, not this time. It annoys me that whenever I get time off I've always thought that I'd be able to wind down a little yet you realise so many things that happen outside the day-to-day college life.

What struck me as awkward in the morning was this idea of putting Asda and Shaun Smith together. I went to see the opening of this infamous Asda, with an hour long performance starting at 9. For me it was more like a bigger version of Tesco and you can buy in bulk. It's not that I dislike it in any manner, it was clean, products untouched by man (hence that's why it seemed logical to head for the hygiene section first).

I had lost track of time whilst inside, having to resort to rushing myself to prepare for my rehearsal at Symphony Hall. It tired me somehow, I had to play through songs 1-18, stopping at various points to redo the sections again. By the end I was worn out, I had little energy left to play anymore. To make it worse, the choir came in, and so we "have another chance to rehearse". There was time to regain that energy afterwards, when I decieded to go and find something to eat, as I had not eaten yet in that day. All that was gained, lost in a matter of minutes as we were in to rehearse once again just before the concert.

A day that I had intended to re-energize myself, only ended up diminshing me even quicker. I look foraward to seeing the day that I would get decent rest.
