World Traveler: Miserable Day

T5B: 1) I got to read. 2) I was able to share some of my chocolate with the members. 3) The choir did great today and I got a recording. 4) We started practicing a new song. 5) My power came back eventually.

basal temp: 36.12

Morning:
- I fell asleep nicely listening to my music Jerod sent, slept crappy though and didn't get enough sleep :/
- got up and got ready
- got to church early to run through our choir song for our performance today
- Sacrament was ok (I didn't understand a lot of it)
- Sunday school was kinda rough as the lesson was about Cain and Abel (not very uplifting)

Notes: Today we sang an arrangement of Come, Come Ye Saints of which you can find a recording here. Enjoy. :)

Afternoon:
- had a shortened choir practice (since I had them come early to church)
- I'm really excited about the new song
- then I got to skype with my parents and Nod and saw a little bit of the Olympics!
- stuck at the church all day, felt really gross

Notes: --

Evening:
- finally got home around 17:30, SICK and starving
- power went out
- waited in the dark for a long time, finally power!
- depressing night
- got to read a little (that was good)

Notes: I didn't have any good hearty food that didn't need cooking so I sat a long time shivering in the dark crying my eyes out. It was pretty pitiful and INCREDIBLY depressing. Hope you all have a much better Sunday than I did. XOXO, Ann

blast from the past: This happened yesterday but I forgot to write about it. As Limor and I were walking to the cafe to get hot chocolate, I saw my student (the one to whose youtube vid I posted a link a long time ago). I said hello (I was all bundled up) and he was trying to figure out who I was. I took off my two hoods and ear muffs and he goes, "ANN! HELLO!" It was great that he was happy to see me. He was so nice and introduced us to the rest of his band. I wish we could have gone and seen him play (they were going to a gig in town). Still it was a really cool moment for me and I'm glad he wasn't embarrassed to acknowledge or talk to me on the street. :)
