I love going to sleep

         Laying in bed right now doing some reading and throughly enjoying myself. I've not been sleeping well for the past couple of weeks for some odd reason! I go to bed and then wake up for no reason after 5 or 6 hours and can't fall back asleep. It's really annoying and it's beginning to wear me out. I feel tired every day and it's at it's peak during choir, which is of course very inconvenient.

         Choir. This is kind of an upsetting topic lately. I can't seem to think of any nice things to say about it. Choir's not been going well. We're working on the Faure requiem right now (which is frankly too easy for a choir of our calibar) and it's been quite taxing to work on day in and day out. I never feel like we've accomplished anything of consequence and we don't sound very good. I just can't put myself through this next year. We have a new director this semester and she has a very slow method of learning the music which can be very irritating for me. The first time we sight read through the piece I almost got it down. THE FIRST TIME!!! That shouldn't happen in a concert choir. It's not challenging me at all.

          Other than choir I really have nothing to complain about at the moment. The play has been going well. I think I'm vibing well with the other actors on stage which is good. Someone said that I was doing a really good job with not only my lines but with unspoken context of the scene as well which is nice to hear. No tests or papers due this week. Just trying to slug through classes and get to the weekend. Going to do a google hangout with some members of the Cast off Crew this Saturday which I am so pumped about! Hope to learn some more about those lovely people.

 Knitting/Crochet:
           The 10,000 meter challenged hosted by gimmeyarn418 on youtube has offically begun as of April 1st. Our challenge is to knit/crochet 10,000 meters in 3 months. I've already submitted 1 completed project and am now working on a much larger one. I'll post some pics below. The headband will be sold at a craft fair this summer. Thinking of pricing it around $15 although I'm not sure if that's too much or too little. Hard to tell really. It is made with alpaca so that inclines me to mark it up to $20 but it is just a headband. Idk! Thoughts anyone??? I could use some advice.

 

I've also been working on a granny square blanket for my cousin's graduation from college. It's made with caron simply soft (not a huge fan of the shininess but it's washable and easily accessable so I'll just have to deal with it).

 

 

My pinky is starting to hurt from all of this crocheting though! I need to do some knitting to switch things up. I'll try to get another row sewed onto my scrapgan. That's all for tonight. Good night all!
