Canta che ti passa

That's what you say in Italian when someone is in an unpleasant situation. It literally means: Sing and it'll go away. Although nothing really unpleasant happened to me, I've been planning, thinking and feeling a wee bit too much lately, so I've decided to follow this advice.  

When a friend invited me to join her choir I thought: why would I? I can hardly read music. I am already doing too many things. Plus I am probably not staying here for much longer...

The fact is, the more I do, the more things I actually get done. So I said I'd give it a try. Surprisingly my music reading skills aren't as bad as I thought and I quite enjoyed singing. I'm not sure for how long I'll be able to be part of the choir or if singing really helps to get your mind off things (in my case it hasn't had the desired effect), but let me tell you: singing this song was one of the most amazing experiences ever!
