October 4-5

Welcome to my first blog post for this Blog! This blog post is going to talk about the weekend of October 4th and 5th, which was very busy. This weekend was busy for me! The weekend started as soon as my rehearsal for the School Play ended. I went driving a few times around to places after school in the parking lot and places like that. My Saturday was crowded by a retreat that I went to that lasted 6 hours on the first day (5:00 - 11:00 pm). It was very fun and this retreat was for a church choir group that is for my church. So, we rehearsed there for a little bit and then would have a break. Then we would rehearse some more, have a project or two, it is overall a pretty hard, but fun retreat! One could guess what happened after that retreat that ended at 11:00, I decided to just go to bed, because the retreat continued until the next day when we had to go back to the campsite, Camp Timberlake. Which by the way was a very nice campsite to be at. So I went to bed to get up without wanting to sleep while at the retreat. I got ready to perform a church worship service for the morning half of the retreat, because of people missing church and all. So, I gathered all my notes for my service and had practiced them and got dressed for the retreat! I got into my ride for Part two of the retreat and we were on our way. The second I got there I had to go up and set up for the service by putting everything in place for the service. Then, came in the choir for my service. I had them sit down and we would go ahead and start the service. Next thing you know, the thing you just practiced for, for a good period of time, about a little under 2 weeks is happening. It went great in my opinion, and they all congratulated me on doing a good job on my service. Then we rehearsed and had breaks and I made a movie for the retreat (Coming to a YouTube near you) and everything went great for the rest of the day! So, all in all it was a really great retreat and a fun weekend!

Moral of the Story: Don't stress so much over giving a presentation to people that you know, have fun with it!

So, How was your weekend?
