This week I had already filled up my evening even before it started. Not real exciting things though. Mostly just singing!
On Monday I had a singing lesson with the person that runs the choir. She was pretty good but I had to be careful not to argue and talk back to her. I definitely have a problem with authority! It was good overall.
On Tuesday I had normal choir practice. Nothing much to report there. It seems to be coming together well.
On Wednesday I went orienteering. Which was a bit stupid really. I saw that the course start was only 3km from work so I decided I didn't really have any excuse not to go. Unfortunately it was 3km from work in the opposite direction from home. As I was running to the start point I started to add up the ks and realised that there was going to be a fair bit of running to be had. I had already run 3km in the morning to work! The course was pretty sweet. It was split into three legs and you had to return to base between each leg. It was also a hilarious mass start. Half the group did legs A, B then C then the other half did B, A then C. I think I did pretty poorly again but it was great to see a new part of town (even if it was dark). I think the course was probably supposed to be 6km but I probably ran about 7 because I'm a bit rubbish at. So then I set off on the 6km run home. 19km day, not too bad.
On Thursday I went to the first rehersal for a small choir group out of the larger group. It was an auditioned choir and I was pretty lucky to hear about it and learn the audition song in a couple of days to get in. They were happy to have me though because without me there was probably not going to be a Tenor part. The song we sang is a bit of a mental Bossanova Jazz thing and all kinds of challenging. Everyone had put quite a bit of homework in though so we were pretty good with it straight off the bat. Which meant that we are now going to learn another song. I hope its not as hard. Afterwards we went for a couple of drinks in one of the members apartments who lived on the 33rd floor downtown. It was a pretty sweet view. Again, I'm pretty stoked with the city I moved to.
On Friday I went out drinking with a Eric from work. He's a structural engineer and is a pretty recent graduate. He took me to some place that had a bloody $13 cover charge! I think he felt a bit bad for taking me there though so he paid it. It wasn't up to much and wasn't worth the $13 but we drank quite a bit and I got home pretty late. I tried to cook myself some hashbrowns in the oven but fell asleep and woke up with a headache at 7am to a smokey apartment. I don't think its ever a good idea for me to cook in a fry pan after drinking... On Saturday I was intending to go and buy a guitar but realised that I really need to buy just a second hand one (and I had a sore head). I want a nice one (~$1200 ish) but realised if I pay that then I'm not gonna wanna take it out for drinks so I am hoping to get a nice guitar second hand, I will have to be a bit more patient now though.
On Sunday I left the outside windows and door open to my apartment to air it out. Unfortunately this meant that it was very cold. Just don't burn things I guess is the answer to this problem.
