A lot to learn

by

I am totally overwhelmed along with the rest of the cast. On our first day, a lot of music was thrown on us. Today, we learned 5 more songs. I did not realize there was so much ensemble singing in this show. It is really putting me to the test with my learning skills. I went ahead this evening to review my music, but there is a point when it can be just so overwhelming. I have reviewed all but three songs. This is the first time I have ever had to walk away from my practicing because I just can’t look at the sheet music. My sight is blurry due to my exhaustion. I guess I’ll head to bed early today. My workaholic side has a hard time embracing the fact that my brain needs to rest. I hope to do this for myself. Sleep will be a very good thing for me right now.rmcn65l.jpg
