Mad Rush .. EL .. Music ... EL .. Music ... EL .. Music ...... Exciting!

It has been a hectic 2 weeks. Rushing everywhere everyday. Sec 4 Music Practicals the priority now. Spent most afternoons and saturdays doing the sec 4 music practicals, and the other day was spent at MGS trying out their piano for the pract. Much of the English marking was put on hold, because all energy and mental focus spent on the music practicals. Next week is gona be another mad week ... out for the real 'O' Level music practicals from wednesday to friday, from 8am till 6pm everyday. Yes, it's that tedious, examining and writing comments for every candidate throughout the week.

English is THE king subject these days. Last few weeks of 7-8am took a toll on all of us, till i couldn't wake up on time on the last 3 days... so much for my blasting my students for being late... i ended up being late by 5 odd minutes those days... so tired... and having disturbed sleep. But must press on .... L1 is the most important... and the students CAN definitely do well if we all continue with this rigorous regime of English compre compo. Passed out this brilliant EL revision schedule that I came out with ... the push for distinctions, haha. Now it means I have to print out all the additonal reading materials and worksheets, as well as answers. Need to catch up on marking again too.

Yesterday was really crazy .... Did my 7-8am sec 4 EL compre review, then had sec 3 music final exams paper 1 and paper 2, which lasted 2 hours 40min, halfway during which i had to rush up to 4-8 and 4-4 to have my final official EL lesson for them. Then rushed down to collect the papers and arrange the practical schedule for Saturday for the Sec 3 music boys. It was by then 3:15pm, afterwhich I had to attend a meeting, till I had to run at 4:30pm, to catch a cab to Plaza Sing to listen to Ivan and Andrew test out the exams studio electone for the O levels. I only managed to reach PS at about 5, which left us with only half an hour to fine tune their balance etc. Came back to school after that, to finish work.

It was a mad rush, AND I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT.
