Messiah
I've just come back from the rehearsal for a performance of the Messiah. My parents sing in a choir and as a recruitment drive they do an all day bash at something like the Messiah - you just come along to the rehearsal (3hrs starting at 11 and finishing at three, with some breaks). It is amazing fun. I always forget how much i enjoy singing in big choirs like this - with my work its kinda hard. I must make sure to take the opertunity at uni (if I have time!)...but if any of you lot get the chance to sing in a large choir, take it! If they don't audition you, then you should fit in without any problem - just about anyone can sing enough to do that. I promise that 90% of normal people will enjoy it too!
First Post!
Wow! First post - OK...I better explain who I am and why the blog is. Up until now I have never bothered to write a blog - anything I have wanted to write I've written on another website, in very irregularly spaced intervals. The reason I'm starting a blog is that I'm going to teach in Ghana for six weeks, and then stay with a doctor and teacher connected with my Church
in another part of Ghana for two weeks. I leave at the end of April, and come back the end of June. While I'm out there I won't have easy access to the Internet, but I hope to be able to go to an Internet café once a week - so I will hopefully update this blog once a week while I'm there. As for who I am - I'm 18, fresh out of a grammar school in Buckinghamshire, UK. Since September I've been working in a Respite Care home for adults with severe learning disabilities. Its been good, hard, rewarding work, and overall fun, mainly due to the hardworking and welcoming staff there. Next year I'm planning to go to uni in Exeter to study maths and physics for four years. After that I have no plans, apart from that I dont want to go into banking (a popular route for maths/physics grads - it pays well).
To do - I still have quite a bit to do before I leave. The most important must be buying equipment, especially anti-malarials, a backpack, medical kit, water bottle etc etc. So its gonna be a busy few weeks until I leave. Apart from that things are mostly going well. I think Ill manage to get everything done before I leave. Probably. All the important bits, anyway.
OK...That's enough for now. Gnight all!
