We had one rehearsal for recital, and we have another tonight.\u00a0 The teacher had to approve my clothes from my limited wardrobe.\u00a0 She wanted sparkle and shine.\u00a0 I don’t have any of that here with me.\u00a0 I do have one set of pearls which do catch the light.\u00a0 I think I wore them one other time here, but I’m so glad I brought them. She approved, as well she might.<\/p>\n
I fear I might forget the words of the Chinese song.\u00a0 I’ll just fill in with “la la la” after all, what else could one do? The\u00a0 teacher wants me to use emotion, sing what the words mean, but alas, I don’t really know.<\/p>\n
I’m also asked to give a speech, short, to the assembly, which will be about 100 people.\u00a0 I’m going to quote my high school choir director, the best ever, “No matter what happens, keep on singing.”\u00a0 That’s a life motto, and my advice to anyone who wants it.<\/p>\n
The ear problem is resolved, the visa problem is not.<\/p>\n
