i JUST gotta blog before I start on my aa201 project.
Today was a happy day cuz I met quite alot of ppl in and around school today! Funnily, I met jy like 5 times I think. I quite like walking around school these days. I dunno why, but knowing ppl makes a whole load of difference! And it's hard to walk from canB to S4 without meeting someone you say hi to :) Well, apart from the fact that I spend like 6-7hrs in school almost everyday. More than half the time it's NOT for lessons.
Anyway, today I poned my first useful lesson ever since in NTU. Skipped aa201 in the morning cuz it was 830, I slept at 230, I have yet to practise ab214, haven't even TOUCHED aa202, and I gotta like iron formal clothes etc. SO, I spent the first hour of today talking to myself, and drinking loads of water. I guess practice DOES pay off. aa202 was uh okay I guess. but our tutor said our ab214 was good! Really surprised though. Haha but everything went smoothly :)
Screw the rain! It screwed up my running plans. I hate drizzly prickly rain. Sucks. Hence there goes my sleep tmr morn. I gotta run. I can't wait for this week to be over, seriously.
I'm a growing fat lumps of lard. I have 47 days to get myself in shape to run for 5hrs straight. I didnt finish what I set out to swim yesterday. I will never eat again. I feel dehydrated even though I've been drinking tons of water.
On a more interesting note, talked to Vivien online. Haven't had much chances to talk to her in the past few years. Well, just couldn't help feeling like things are so long ago. Like, well, it's still the same. Somehow her opinions always makes ALOT of sense in my point of view. And like, she was talking abt teaching oboe to sec sch kids. Can't help but think how after so many years, she's still like the same Vivien I first knew. The one who taught ME how to play an oboe as well, back then when I was a small sec1 kid. Except then, she was only sec 2 haha.
Yeah working with kids. Somehow I've gotten quite tired of teaching, such that I seem to have forgotten the universal teacher's rule of 'learn a new thing every week'. I'm quite motivated to start that all over again with my kids. Not just learn a new song every week, but more of technique or skill or musicality. I miss playing my piano. I think I've forgotten how to play Chopin and Mozart! AHHHHH! It's been like ONE MONTH I think since I played it. Shucks.
Motivation HAS To come back. And as the end of this sem draws near, it makes me wonder, what happened to my studies as first priority as I mentioned before this sem started. But looking back, it's one of my busiest and most satisfying sems ever in uni. I think I'm learning how to manage everything. Relationships, people, studies, work, sports, music. A good balance I would say except I could do less of the workking part and more on the studying part.
I'm lagging tho. I gotta feel a sense of pressing! Keep going! :)
