Letter to the choir

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: day by day| people around| sylv.thinking();

I missed a choir rehearsal on Thursday.
The president demanded an explanation for the choir.

This letter explains the reason, and also explains why I haven’t been updating regularly.
And to show my sincerest apologies.

Dear choir members,

This is not the best or the most satisfactory or sensible explanation ever, but this is the true account. I encountered some big hiccups in internship and as a result I had to put a lot of effort to mend them. Yesterday was the worst day and I left the office at almost 7 PM (my office hour is only until 5.30 PM), and went to home straight, totally forgetting about the practice I should be attending.

However, I’m really sad that no one bothered to call me or sms me yesterday. I just checked my phone logs whether there were missed calls from one of you. I just checked my phone inbox amidst my many unread messages whether there were any messages I miss. There weren’t any. Forgetting is a lame and unacceptable excuse, I know, and I might seem to be shifting blame to my work/internship problems but if somebody had just called me or smsed me I most probably would have come, even late and all. Hell I’d jump off the bus and go to the nearest bus stop that has buses going to school. Really.

I’m very sorry to miss the practice due to my absent-mindedness. I regret that fact. I admit these few days (or weeks) I’ve been very messed up. I don’t even organize my appointments in my agenda anymore, which is very rare for a person like me if you know me very well. So I beg you all, please, call me, sms me when I don’t show up. Trust me, I won’t intentionally miss a rehearsal just because I’m not feeling like it. I have been coming to most of the rehearsals and practices, despite being late for my inability to wake up/function in weekends’ mornings, or despite being wary and tired after work. I tried my best to come on time for Saturday rehearsals and I did succeed. I always come to night practices, even when I had classes until 6.45 PM, even when I had work. You know you can trust me.

I hope you’ll all forgive me and help me learn the steps/moves/positions.

Sorry.

To readers, please note that I’m not blaming them. It was solely my fault and my absent-mindedness from the first place. I just wish that they had told me, so all this thing would have been avoidable. But I admit it was my fault anyway… So stupid for not even putting it into my agenda. Guess there’s no way to fix this but to show up at the next practice, and learn the steps fast. Wish me luck.
