Hard Work
You know... it was only last year when SJI Drama Club got Gold Award for the SYF Central Judging. And we worked really hard for it. At least, that's what we thought. Back then, practices for 3 days a week and 4 hours each time was considered hard work. And rightly so, for Secondary School students.
Nothing could have prepared me for JC-Level Drama, which is on a totally different level. The SYF Central Judging looms once again, and now, Practice. Is. Hell. Crazy. If we get out of school before 9 pm, we're lucky. Days off? Don't even think about it. And as opposed to SJI Drama, when all the crew had to do was lug around these frames with wires on them, we have to lug around a bloody professionally done, bloody heavy, and bloody annoying set, of which three pieces have been affectionately named the MF piece, the TMD piece and the MCB piece. No one will understand these acronyms, unless I tell, or unless some Drama Crew member tells. Private joke for the crew...
And while preparations for SYF are underway, schoolwork does not let up, and I am forced to reschedule my days to not include any time for leisure, except on days like this with long breaks so I can mindlessly blog. As it is, I feel as if I'm horribly unprepared for lessons and the lecture and class tests.
And because of this You-Shall-Not-Get-Any-Free-Time workload, my long-term project must be delayed. Oh, I didn't mention? I'm undertaking a long-term project, something that involves a lot of hand cramps and brain blowouts. Yes, writing an unofficial novel. My estimated completion date WAS September 11 2008 (done on purpose...), but I feel that this is the lowest of my priorities, and so while I still have more important things to do, I'd better do them first. The novel can wait.
Anyway, with my kind of working speed, I'd still have to slow down anyway, if I want to finish on my new estimated completion date. Nothing is more annoying than finishing something much much earlier than needed and having to wait aeons before the date arrives.
Targeted completion date: May 14th 2009.
