… the movement that’s stuck in my head (which I happen to know most of the words to) is *not* one of the ones that I need to have memorized …

I can probably come up with something better to write about, but I feel like I can’t just leave the Italian dilemma hanging …

It’s not 100% memorized, but it’ll be good enough as long as I can work out the kinks in a few places.

Most of it goes by really fast, and if you stumble on a syllable, you’re lost. Well, I’m lost.
At least I know it’s not just me, most people are struggling in one place or another. Hopefully the balance will work out and we don’t all have the same trouble spots!

I sing in a community chorale group.

For some reason, I’ve decided to volunteer to be an extra during the first act. It seems like it will involve a little bit of walking around, a lot of standing around looking interested in what’s going on, and singing. It is an opera, and it is in Italian.

We’ve been rehearsing for months, yet, I still do not know the words. I don’t know Italian, so nothing makes sense. (if it did, perhaps I’d be able to remember it?)

I’ve typed up the words for the parts we sing, and have a printout hanging to the right of my screen so I can stare at them while playing the recording.

I guess tonight (dress rehearsal) we’ll figure out what sticks! I pretty much know the music, but there may be a lot of mumbling!

I don’t really think I have anything interesting to say, or that anyone else would be interested in reading it.

I’ve known about NaNoWriMo and the idea seems really cool, I just don’t think I could pull it off. So, baby steps. We’ll see how this goes!
