'Just so you know'
Mar. 17th, 2010 05:02 pmI have a feeling Wednedays are going to be like this for a while ...
I'm in such a bad mood right now - I hate my Asian History subject. I think I'm doing what I'm supposed to, taking notes in the lectures and on the readings, but somehow when I get to the tutes I just feel like a moron. It makes it worse that I thought I knew about the topic of discussion this time... instead I can't form a coherent sentence. *swears* It's so frustrating. I went and spoke to my tutor and everything, but he wasn't terribly much help either. I guess I just need to write this first assignment and that'll tell me if I'm understanding it at all. Bah. Speaking of, I have piles of books to read tonight to try and gather info from.
On another note, my lessons with my new teacher are going really well. I can see how much I've improved in a couple of weeks, without all that much physical practice on my part. Alexander technique is so strange, and very helpful. All about thought processes and how that relates to muscles. So, rl friends, if I seem to be standing oddly in the next few days it's because I have to assume 'monkey stance' XD. Essentially, not locking my legs and hips straight. It feels so weird!
Another nice thing about today was I actually had someone to sit with to eat my lunch. It sounds silly, but on the days where there aren't many music people around (they only have 3 days ... *jealous*) I tend to sit by myself. There are people I talk to in my classes, of course, but that hasn't extended outside yet. Anyway, I chatted to D for about half an hour - and that's all it took for me to get into heated discussion about the reasons for choosing different courses (and not basing your decision on your enter!!) and such. He seems pretty cool - although we definitely have a few differing opinions.
Well, I should drag myself off to start that essay. At least it's only 500 words I guess ... although it'll probably be harder to be that concise in the long run.
