Essays, concerts and the run up to Christmas..

This pretty much sums up my life at the moment. When last I wrote I was contorting my little grey cells over my anatomy essay. Since then, I have endured another week of seminars at the Stratford campus (starting on a Monday morning with advanced biochemistry - cruel world!!), performed in two concerts, Vivaldi Gloria and Verdi Requiem, singing a small solo part in the former, and made the bulk of the arrangements for our mulled wine and mince pie Open House here at 36YR on 16th Dec. Now I am facing the prospect of having to turn in 4 assignments by 11th December.. oh joy!

The concerts went really well, which was wonderful, especially the Verdi Requiem at Southwark cathedral, which was a veritable triumph, both from the point of view of the charity we were supporting (the Lin Berwick Trust), for whom we raised over £11,600, as well as from a musical point of view. One change you will notice in my blog is the lack of photos, as almost immediately after I took the photo below, my camera decided to go into hibernation somewhere in the house... Perhaps it will turn up in the frantic clear-up prior to the festivities in a few weeks time? Fingers crossed! M xx
