A little about yourself here.
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
Another semester at Lasalle. I suddenly wish that time could fly. The anticipation of getting out of school is almost suffocating me.
Things at school did get better for some, or least for many. For myself, it probably didn't. I got sorted into a group of five by a 'magical sorting hat' that apparently sorted me into a group with a senior that is native chinese. Realise, this is Singapore, vernacular language- English. I pray that our translation for technical terms will be palatable, rather understandable. I'm trying to have faith in the group. I sincerely am. The task assign, OH so very avant-garde! Quite troublesome too. It also proves that the school thinks that we're too free and have lots of time to spend on project works. Beneficial or not you ask, I wish i was the electronic 'ask iris' service.
Adding to the pile full of work we already have there's a whole other lot of scores to play. Another 170 pages worth of music was given- to be deciphered over the few weeks we have. Than the orchestra scores for viola is in treble clef THROUGHOUT!. I mean all the way for over 40 pages. Now, i pray SOOO hard i won't forget that I'm NOT in alto clef.
Lots of work...yes... That's fine. It won't hurt. Not a bit. So long i work out my schedule right, i should be fine. The timetable... perhaps not... On one day, there is not a single break in between our classes. From 9am - 7pm. Now, i wonder which superhero goes without a lunch break. They don't fight crime all day...do they? Food, is NOT allowed in classes... Besides the stomach issue, i wonder if my poor brain will still be able to absorb after 3 hours. Will that be wasting time if we are not absorbing because we don't sleep enough or will it be because we have too much information to absorb and no lunch break.
Than, I was treated with a 'pleasant' surprise. My main study tutor had been in class with us from 2pm-4pm conducting a workshop with us. Only after her lesson did I discover that i was to have a change of main study tutor. Reason being, my teacher cannot find time to teach 5 of us. That was really a late discovery.
Know i wonder if i can survive in this situation....
