Congrats! That's a lot of singing to learn and do. The Messiah is "logical" enough that it's not too tough to learn, just a bit of an endurance issue to get through (I've sung *everything* from 1st Tenor to 1st Soprano... my voice went down quite a bit for a while in high school... but it wasn't too bad shifting parts, or learning a new part... at least not if you're half-decent at sight reading and following along by listening to everything.
I *loved* doing Thompson's Alleluia. Did that as part of District Chorus in HS, think I still remember a good deal of the Alto line, though maybe not so much anymore...
May your voice behave, and you enjoy yourself as much as it's possible, singing with a lot of good voices!
