Busy as a bee
Nov 30th, 2007 by Soph
Yo dudes.
Well today I have been working my little socks off trying to get one of my three essays done that needs to be in next week. I have just about finished – I’m quite a way over the word limit so I need to do a little bit more editing and proofreading, but apart from that I can relax on the French Literature front. Now I just have to write a 2,500 word essay on The Canterbury Tales and an unknown-word-limit essay on French and English poetry, by next Thursday. Whee.
What’s making me sliiiightly stressed out about all this is not simply the amount of other work I have to do on top of it (to give a few random examples, revising for the French translation test I have next Friday, translating 100 lines of Chaucer, various grammar exercises and scansion and versification practice), but also the crazily busy week I have ahead of me in terms of music society events. Here is a little timetable of my upcoming musicalnesses:
Sunday
11am – 2pm – Symphony Orchestra rehearsal
4pm – Symphony Orchestra concert
Monday
1pm – 2pm – Consort rehearsal
6pm – 8.30pm – Wind Orchestra rehearsal
Tuesday
7pm – 9.40pm – Symph Orch rehearsal
Wednesday
5.30pm – 6pm – Chamber Choir notices/pre-concert practice
6pm – 6.45pm – Consort carol singing
7pm – 9pm – Wind Orch and Chamber Choir concert
Thursday
1pm – Consort carol singing
5pm – 7pm – Chamber Choir rehearsal
7pm – 8.30pm – carol singing with flatmates
8.30pm – midnight – Chamber Choir cocktail bingo night
Friday
4pmish – Consort going to Northamptonshire somewhere for a concert
So all in all…wish me luck. :happy:
Edit: Oh and I forgot to say, I rang my mum up this evening to get her to open my prize-giving invitation, and it turns out I got two prizes! My first two EVER, might I add, lol. In French and Psychology. Woop. :]
Lol, twas my first time for prizes too! One in English and one in History ^^ I am absurdly happy about it
Sounds like a pretty gruelling schedule D: Good lucks!
Crikey, well done with keeping up with everything. I suppose Christmas is going to be one of the busiest times for the musical societies. Best of luck with everything.
I got a prize for English (the only subject I thought I might get) which I’m happy about :V
I’m really pleased for Soph and Mima who I can’t believe have never got prizes before!! (not ever!?) as you both thoroughly deserve them.
Soph I have no idea how you have time to fit it all in! Do you still have that job in the library on top of that? If only I could magic you more time…I’m sure you’d manage to fill it anyway (considering you bee-like propensity for keeping busy ) :happy:
Write those essays! :bigo:
