I don't know your definition of busy, but to me, busy means spending around 80% of your time doing things you are required to do, be it whether you enjoy it or not. I've listed down many things when i should do personally, and, added with school assignments, notes-writing (i can't write proper notes in class), plus a lack of motivation, i guess perhaps i can consider this week to be a busy week, though i sort of had fun being busy.
Poly - Continual AssessmentsIt had been four weeks into poly life. Somehow, four weeks seemed rather long already, even though in secondary school four weeks is usually just the start. But anyway, it had been quite stressful, needing to adapt to the poly lifestyle, poly people, and so on. Received 3 CA1 projects and 1 CA1 test is coming up on monday.
The first project we received was Heroes, Myths and Legends: "The Hero, The Villain, and The Story World", an individual project in which we were supposed to create a hero, a villain, and a world of a story. And before you go like "chicken feet, so easy, my course still need to ~bla bla bla~", i'll say that it isn't half as easy as it sounds.
The second project we received was Creative Story Making: "Another Cinderella Story", a group project in which we were supposed to brainstorm in a group and come up with many ideas of stories which follows the structure and elements of the fairytale, Cinderella. Then we were supposed to choose one of the idea, develop on it, write it out, and present it (my group did a skit). It ended just yesterday :D It was fun when we were planning, rehearsing and performing, though at the beginning we were mostly worried that the group could not get along well.
The third project we received was Deconstructing Television, a group project in which we are supposed to pick a genre and a television programme, analyse it, and present our analysis. Haven't started on it because the due date is in week 7 and we're just done with week 4, and right now we're focusing on the previous two projects.
The test we will be taking is headline writing and summary.
FridayYesterday was a little different from usual. Reached school earlier by one hour to meet up with my group for a final rehearsal before the presentation. Felt kind of nervous, and we were first group to present. Everything was quite successful, except for a part of the skit which we've decided to remove but still ended up inside the performance somehow. The other groups presented too. Slides, drawings, humour, puppet show, and recount. After class ended, ms wee told us a good news :D
Then we went to eat at foodcourt 5, and then i went for the interview and audition for theatre compass. The audition was okay... i've done all i could. But the interview was quite screwed. After the interview, went back to foodcourt 5 to do Heroes Myths and Legends CA.
ThursdayThursday was awesome. It had its bits of negative events, but the more significant thing was melvin's birthday celebration.
Started the day with Writing Across Media Platforms. Played pictionary, did exercises to prepare for test, etc. Then 4 hours ended and we went to eat and requested ms wai leng to poke holes in our CA, and she did. I got rather irritated at one of my classmate for a reason. Went to rehearse for our presentation after that, and then i went off to find weijian, while chatting with zhaoyi on the phone.
And weijian was late for one hour -_- And then we went to buy and design cake, and then met the others in clementi mall. Chatted alot and went to fish & co. to have our dinner. I bought sweet and sour fish (sry ah, have to report this because fish & co isn't a norm for me) with the meal. It was great~ And it was enjoyable being with the mehmehs again so casually and peacefully. Went to ask the waiter to bring the cake out, and they did after around 10-15 minutes. Celebrated, birthday procedures, and then gave melvin his "matrix set", as zixing calls it. Which consists of a coat, sunglasses and hat. Made him wear them for awhile, and then ate the cake, took group photos, and went home together.
On thursday, i did many wrong things, such as being too pushy, picking on someone because i was pissed at him, and doing something insensitive. I guess mistakes are really unavoidable. Can't try being too perfect, and my next blog post is probably going to be on "perfectionism"!
WednesdayWednesday, we had HML (Heroes, Myths and Legends), and then went home after that. Thought that i would have enough time to cleanup my current room and my previous/future room, plus do goal setting for GenEd (a module), but i did none of them and instead went to watch two episodes of an anime -_-
And i went swimming with weijian in the evening.
TuesdayDeconstructing Television tutorial, watched an episode of "Supernatural", and had a lesson on Revenue and Sponsorship. After that, my CSM (Creative Story Making) group went to the meeting room in the hilltop library to rehearse our skit and prepare the props.
After we ended, walked around with elijah, finding our classmates but failed, and then went to slack in the hilltop library awhile. After that, i went to meet guangyi.
Walked around clementi mall to wait for weijian, and then met him and shopped for a present. After that, went home. Decided to take a different direction in the MRT.
MondayGeneral Education: New class, new classmates, same class as Hui En (GYSS schoolmate)
Writing Across Media Platforms: Short lecture
Break: Wrote the script for the CSM skit, wrote the poem, made the slides
Visual Communication: Photoshop, logos
Last SundayMother's day celebration. Bought mum a soft toy kind of box. Went to celebrate mother's day at my grandma's house. Buffeted, and then hanged out with my siblings and cousin (ping cheng). Kind of nostalgic.
So, yeah, that's the week. Today is saturday, and i need to do HML because the presentation is on Wednesday. Individual presentation, scared! But i'm feeling so lazy now :( ... :(
