first day of term II

First days are always bad. This one was worse.

Nearly fell asleep during English. This is the first time I have come close to dropping off during a lesson this year, even though the lesson was quite interesting. Sooooo sleepy!!!

PE. Horror of all horrors. 2 circuits round the school; must be at least 1.6 km! Then 10 chin ups (I did 3 assisted) and 20 inclined pull ups (ok, at least I did this). NOBODY was in the mood to play handball (even though it is the most fun sport I've played after water polo), so naturally we got scolded for not showing enough enthusiasm. Hello, try to play handball after doing 1.6 km. Well, most people might be able to; I can't. At least I was awake for the rest of the day after this.

Then came Math. The teacher was late for class, and then after that he couldn't recognize one of my classmates. (Poor Shang Hua. To have a teacher who has taught you for a term to say to you, "Have I seen you before?" is like some ultimate embarassment.) Well, maybe its not just my bad first day.

History, OK. Chemistry, slightly noisy but less than normal with some of the water poloists removed (no offense). CLE was completely quiet. For once.

Band should have been the high point of my day. But... not today. It is scientifically proven that at around 3:30 or 4:00, a person's energy level drops to its lowest point, but the woodwind section of RIMB today proved to be some exception. Having sectionals/concert with Mr Oura conducting, getting 3rd and 2nd clarinets sent out to practice (including me), will ensure you don't fall asleep. At least towards the end he was getting happier (I HOPE) with our Storm and Chorale II.

Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can buy a clarinet mouthpiece (I've finally got ang bao $$ from parents!!!) at Jalan Jurong Kechil. Although, since that place is a bit more expensive than usual, I might still continue searching. The shop which Dao Bo (my clarinet SL) claims is at IMM has mysteriously vanished.

I never thought one could be so concerned about his CCA. In primary school I wouldn't have even given Art Club (ART CLUB!!!) priority over piano lessons.

Thats a good thing? Right?
