I just talked to hKC. He made me feel a lot better about my panicking about my schedule and the possible HRSFA conflicts. Which means if I get into Techiya, I will, in fact, join.

They haven't called me though, so I don't know whether or not I'm in. There's still the possibility that they heard an amazing alto today. Though hKC said based on hearing me in round singing, "they'd be crazy not to accept [me]."

Also, hKC gets back to Cambridge on Saturday. HRSFA is returning! Yay HRSFA!

Techiya

I got in! I have to miss the first 2 rehearsals since they're while I'm in New York, but I got in! So everyone who thought I was going to get in, you were right.

I'm going to be singing again! I might get my upper register back! Whee!

I really need to learn how to sing high notes, since it felt really weird when I was trying to do that yesterday, like I couldn't open my mouth correctly and stuff. This is what happens when you are out of practice for 5 years.

So I just e-mailed hKC to thank him for making me less stressed, and helping me to remember that most of HRSFA is in noteables, and they, too practice for 4 hours a week. And for making me realize that missing the HRSFA meetings isn't such a big deal (though I would like to be at elections. I guess if I tell people a month in advance that I'll have to miss the rehearsal, I might be able to do that.) And that I don't really need to be at the Vericon meetings, since most of my job is done right before the Con. (Though I liked being able to give people useful ideas.)

Then I called dsKC to tell him the good news, because I figured he'd want to know, even if I was just talking to him a half hour before that.

Also, I just called JB, and he's okay with me missing the Vericon meetings, since I don't really need much guidance, and I can check in with him and stuff.

I'm wondering if there's anyone else I should call. Maybe I should call my parents...

*Called the parents. Of course, now this means they'll come to the big performance, considering they're only an hour away and can easily do so. And I should call Grandma tomorrow*

I guess the more stressful thing is work, and whether or not I can do it. I like having a source of income, and I really like my job, but I'm not sure if 10 hours a week will destroy me. Granted, these 10 hours cannot possibly conflict with HRSFA, since the office is only open 9-5, and HRSFA things don't start till later than that (except writer's SIG, which was always during class...) but it's still 10 hours a week.

I guess the important thing is to know my limits, and if it ends up being that I don't have the time to work, that I be able to admit it rather than trying to go insane, and leave my job if need be. (If I could work only 5 hours a week it could be doable, but I'm not sure that they'd let me do that.) We'll see. I'll try the 10 hours a week and see how it goes.

Also, if I'm allowed to only take 3 classes, I might do that, considering there aren't that many classes that look interesting this semester, and I do have the 2 credits from Greek. I could even take 3 classes next semester!
