I think I've reached new heights of burn out. Why do I keep doing this to myself?!?
I apologise in advance for this post, as I don't even know why I'm posting at all apart from the fact that I haven't in a while. And I'm totally bored, and totally procrastinating.
I just checked, and I haven't posted since last Sunday. The fact I had to check is telling enough... Anyway, this week has been a fairly eventful one I guess.
Monday: Theory exam, easy as anything, I'm relying on that mark to hold up that subject actually. That and my essay for Music History. I'm very underprepared for these exams...
Also, last lecture with awesome history guy - I must say, I'm unlikely to ever forget the change of Baroque opera to Classical opera.
His description of Baroque opera:
'My lover just left me' - recit
'My lover just left me, woe is me, my life sucks' - aria
'My lover's still gone' - recit
His description of Classical opera with the same scenario:
'My lover just left me'
'I'm going to kill the bastard'
XD
Then we looked him up, and it turns out he's an opera/ possibly musical theatre guy. It all makes sense.
Tuesday: Long day, played in string class, because of that skipped first lesson of Indo, started rehearsing Beethoven's Eroica symphony (it's insane. gahhh). Oddly enough, the highlight of my day was doing my Indonesian Oral presentation. Because we'renormal awesome we decided to decorate the classroom to represent our Christmas theme. You know you're onto a winning topic when your teacher interrupts you to talk about 'drunk uncles' and such, in Indonesian naturally. M got the giggles so badly she totally lost her train of thought, then Bu Y felt bad and kept feeding her words. Highly amusing.
Wednesday: last Asian Studies tute of new material. Thank God. I still know nothing for that subject. Then I 'studied' for ethnomusicology with a couple of friends, and crashed at home.
Thursday: Indo, studied with M again, ate her chocolate cake, went to the physio and discovered my shoulders have seized up again.
Friday: CRASHED EPICALLY.
Woke up at 8, dragged myself out of bed to do some indo work. Fell back asleep at 10ish. Dragged myself up again at 11:30 to finish said work. Collapsed in bed at 12. Only ate because Dad had made me eggs (how nice of him!) Decided I wasn't going to make it to Indo. Only woke up again at 3 because someone called me. Got to work, looked like crap, spent the night talking to K about how tired I am. And thinking that it wouldn't have helped that I haven't restarted taking Vitamin D because it's now winter.
I really really really hope I'm not getting sick. I have 3 exams this week, none of which I've done terribly much work for - so it would be good to be awake at least.
