The Dance of Shame

The past 2 weeks have been a realy busy period. first theres elearning week. supposedly good cos no lessons, but not after im piled with tons of online assignments. Apart from that, theres the MST week just after it, with 4 tests during then. Plus, i had 5 projects ongoing, 2 of which are due this week. (just after MST) and there was hardly any time given before that, so much time was spent on projets during elearning. And not to forget i had to study for 4 modules for MST. luckily there was abit of time to study on the week itself.

i have since got back only 1 test result... i was both happy and disappointed. disappointed cos i lost 11 marks to a stupid careless mistake. painful. but happy cos i know i have the potential to have scored 11 marks higher!

theatre compass is coming up with some 2 christmas musicals to be staged several times at different places in the dec period. didnt get a big role, but at least this time im involved unlike the army daze. as usual, musicals would require singing, dancing and acting in equal proportions.

im casted as just some minor elven character and would probably only appear for 1 or 2 mintues. so for singing, my song is a rap. i only sing in the finale where everyone does. and yesterday there was... the dance sessions. it was a really bad time to have dance sessions. my brain had been so worn out by 6 hours of classes and then an hour of intense project discussion.

i never been bothered to learn dance cos its not really relevant to life and it looks hard. in the dance class, first we learnt pair dancing. now i understand the importance of having chemistry with the dance partner. we have to get rather close physically, and have to move in coordination. would be rather awkward without chemistry. luckily i got a fairly pretty dance partner. wouldnt wanna dance with a ugly one. haha.

but as my brain was so fried, i couldnt learn the dance moves properly. the teacher was going at such a fast pace, and my observation and coordination skills were disrupted. my partner couldnt help much cos the guy is supposed to lead. so our dancing was so bad that here could be no chemistry. and of course, we werent selected for pair dance. ah well.. save on chemicals. heh.

those not doing pair dance would do individual jazz dance. but in coordination with the rest la. as usual.. complicated moves, fast pace teaching and marred coordination made me screw up so bad. just hope ill be in better condition to dance next session.
