Lists Are A Pick-Me-Up

Here are a few things that take a good day and make it into a bad day:

The weather starts out sunny and warm and then turns cold and dreary
Being late to class
Not being prepared for a performance that's - oh, is that tonight?
A bad comedian with a really loud microphone in the cafeteria
Dr. Teal being disappointed in us
Dr. Teal going all quiet, which is when you know that in just a moment she's going to tell us that we obviously don't care a rat's ass about what we're singing because we're doing a really crappy job. True story. Excuse the French.

Here are a few things that can be done to hopefully alleviate some of the awfulness:

Sing as well as you are possibly able to sing so that maybe some of the anger will be diverted away from your section of singers
Dress For Success
Smile often. You don't usually notice it, but when you smile at someone, they almost always will smile back
Get your music in order, for goodness' sake!
Got to French class and bask in the blessedly tranquil learning environment
Eddie Izzard. Enough said.

P.S. Apologies for the short and slightly depressing post. When tonight's concert is over with, all will be good again. Promise.
