Erin go Bragh!

Hi!

I've gotta say that I am so excited for Spring Break. The seven weeks we've been back since Christmas have been amazing but so exhausting! Between schoolwork, the Beanpot, midterms, and just hanging out it will be absolutely lovely to get some time off. I am even more pumped for this break as I will be in IRELAND with the University Chorale!!

I joined Chorale in September as a Freshman and am a 2nd soprano (whoot!). We rehearse twice a week (girls on Mondays, boys on Tuesdays, and everyone on Thursdays) and have three concerts each semester. Last semester we sang with the Boston Pops! in September, Mozart's Requiem in November, and a joint Christmas concert with BC's student orchestra in December. I have loved the experiences Chorale has given me and working with John Finney, the director, has been wonderful. Hearing the sound that 160+ voices produce gives me goosebumps at each and every performance- it is truly awesome.

This will be my first trip out the country, and oh, I cannot wait! I will be taking a ton of photos- maybe I'll post a few when I get back :)

Slán go fóill (Goodbye for now),
