Athens

The month of May has been ridiculously busy and the days just flew past. It's partly the new job which keeps me on my toes and is sometimes quite demanding and partly the "leisure stress" that you're getting with all those long weekends. Is it just me or does it just feel like you should go on a trip somewhere if the weekend has an extra day??

So, the month of May has taken me to Israel, Athens and Germany, where I actually went twice to visit family. On top of that, we had our extra-super-mega-special Eurovision show put on by my choir in which we put a lot of effort an energy. It paid off! After almost 1 year of rehearsals, in the final stages with 2 to 3 rehearsals a week, sometimes up to 5 hours long, a lot of preparation and practise and chaos finally turned into a wonderful show. I'm not much of a showbiz and limelight-loving person but even I enjoyed it, especially the dance choreographies.

But the best thing about this show is probably not even the applause and the sense of achievement to have managed such a big project but the fact that we have all gotten to know each other better and we have become closer as a group. We're now taking a rehearsal break over the summer but I'm already looking forward to starting again in September!
