Stardy

Prologue: It might be just me. But I feel like spreading the blame, can?

Well does this come with being too busy in school? That you sometimes have to be reminded about even the simplest things?

Probably because... you worry too much before actually sitting down and think?

And then comes CCA. I have 2 commitments as a bassist now (暗爽), in church and CCA. I'm loving every minute of it but the problem is, while I don't really pull stunts in church, in VOICES I actually do songs like Jay's 阳光宅男 and 有话直说 by Power Station. Which means I've got to play quavers at about 140 bpm.

Trained musicians (ahem!) won't be impressed, but I've usually played at more reasonable speeds in the past so I actually felt like I've just visited the gym after a jam session! And then I realised that without proper cool-down stretching I'll have significant muscle pain along my lower arm.

Yeah, that area.

So I did all the stretching I could today.

And since I'm bassist here & there and keyboardist nowhere, I haven't touched the keys for ages. No time for leisure playing, sigh.

And since self-pity is so addictive (did I hear someone cough up there?), I shall just list down what I've got to do for my coming reading week.

  • 2 Lab reports. Hahahahahaha.
  • Substantial research for my Japanese film module group project. And substantial discussion with my group.
  • At least watch the film on which I've got to write an individual paper, for said module.
  • CCA. VOICES practice and erm, "socialising" with J-Studies Society.
  • Mug for my 2 Chemistry modules and 1 Math module. Yes, the one with the Integration.
  • Wake up my idea and go Google for tests for Sulphur Dioxide gas. I was so humbled in the lab.
  • Wonder how my tutor actually churns out enough material for her J-Studies Master thesis on (get this) SMAP.
  • Then do the same for the movie I've finally decided on (hopefully) for abovementioned individual paper.
  • Take photos of chiral objects. Take my hand can?
  • OK I've so got to include this. "Sleep".

Think that's all?

  • PLUS! Prepare for emcee'ing the coming VOICES mini-concert.

OK I shall spare you. OK actually I'm done :D
