Apr. 27th, 2013 05:49 pmIt's spring! Finally! Our garden already looks very pretty, this year we have tulips in more colours than I remember ever having before and already some blossoms on the plum tree, though not as many as last year. It's almost warm enough for skirts and dresses, finally. I bought a new dress a few days ago (black, because I need one for the choir concerts) and I can't wait to wear it properly.
Today I donated blood because they had a bus near our house. For the first time in a year or so, the last two times they turned me away because of low blood pressure and not enough iron. The nurses/assistants were very funny. Apparently in the beginning my blood didn't flow quickly enough, so they told me to think of my biggest enemy and then kept cheering me on and telling me how fast my blood was flowing. Very motivational.
( I finally caught up with Doctor Who: 5x06 - 5x09 )
Monday to Monday I'm in Switzerland on a concert tour with my choir! Our first concert tour, it'll be great. Four concerts, together with a Swiss youth orchestra. We're singing Mendelssohn's 42nd psalm, a beautiful piece. I have two exams the week after, so I have to find some time to study, but I probably won't have a lot of internet access, so that should help a lot. On the other hand, little internet access and it's the first week of NHL playoffs, argh!
( Last few games before playoffs )
Post-donation-lethargy has mostly worn off, back to work! Or first dinner, then work. Actual work, not just "sitting in front of the computer", self. It's not what I thought about, but my biggest enemy is definitely procrastination.
