I'm writing this post from a hotel room. We've been practicing for this big stage show/performance in the city near us and so we're staying here instead of driving an hour each way from the school. We did that a few times and didn't get back until after 11pm. This is much better. We also don't have to get up at 4:50 am which is really nice. These performances are generally really stressful and though this one has certainly had it's share of that, it's better than most. They're definitely feeding us enough! The show isn't until Thursday so we have a couple more days of this. Then 2 or 3 days of training, then the holidays (Moon festival and the PRC's b-day) so things aren't going to go back to normal for a while. I always really look forward to getting back to the routine after something like this but I'll just try my best to enjoy it while I'm here and try to stay calm.
