So, time for an update, I think. Yesterday I found something that was COMPLETELY AWESOME. Liz and I decided that we would learn properly the different parts to “For Good” so that we can be amazing in New York, so she sent me the sheet music. I was like, yeah, okay, so I can be fairly sure that I’m singing it right but how to check, ho hum… I wonder if there is a virtual piano online? AND YES FOLKS THERE IS! I had to download it to my computer to get the decentish one, but piano! Computer! I can make music! I’m still working out how to use it properly, but I know that I can play a limited number of notes from the keyboard itself which is pretty cool- I’d love to just type/play something and show my mum and be like look I CAN play the piano! Yeah, ten years of piano lessons when I didn’t practice and wasn’t enthusiastic into which I was forced are a bit of a bitter subject :S.
My church conference thing is going to be the next few days, so I’m not going to be around much- but it’s going to be awesome. There are some brilliant speakers coming and from the preparation I’ve seen it’s going to be just wow. I’ve spent a good few hours this week painting a absolutely massive mural of the design for the thing- like, bigger than a room and higher than the ceiling massive. It looks brilliant, though, I’m going to try to take some photos because I am proud of it! Not that I did it on my own- there were loads of us- but still. It was some effort.
Also, I’m preparing for scriptfrenzy, which is like nanowrimo only you write a script and it’s only 20k words long, as a 50k would be madness for a play/film. I started to try to plan out what I’m going to be doing with it yesterday, and have all sorts of ideas that I’m trying to beat into submission today. Though, obviously, not right now.
The only worrying thing is that I have an exam next wednesday, and what with all of this going on I haven’t done much revision at all. I mean, in some ways it doesnt matter as I’ve already got 40% of the module, which is all you need to pass, but then it DOES because I don’t like getting bad marks. I think that I should be okay- I’m going to try to force myself to do a timed essay today. Sadly, it’s the first sunny day in a while….
