So, today was a little better. I woke up really late, watched the only non-overdubbed american movie on tv, then we went to Rinconada and Amilpa. I got some advice from friends who are more familiar with choirs, to do vocalization (scales & such), and I implemented it today. I mean, I can't make all the kids fantastic singers overnight, but I know how to teach the basics now. AND, that was what Florencio wanted & expected. He's happy, I'm happy.
I wish I could've watched the game, and I'm convinced they lost b/c I couldn't watch it (and because I forgot to wear my gameday shirt!!!), but it's all good. In other completely unrelated news, my new favorite musician is a girl named Adele. It's like British-blues-pop....and it's awesome.
Florencio asked me to sing a song at church tomorrow, and the first song I came up with was one of Mandi Mapes' songs, "The One for Me." Since I've been in Mexico, every time I think of a song, I try to translate it into spanish, and I just happened to think of that one. It was pretty easy to translate, so hopefully it will go well tomorrow.
