Today did not start accordingly well as planned. Firstly, I set my alarm clock at 4:30 in the morning. But being someone who is a heavy sleeper, it seems very ambitious of me to do something impossible. Well, I did wake up but just to turn off the alarm. I heard Cim moaning all the time in a very pissed tone whenever my alarm went off. I purposefully snoozed it every time it went off just to assure that I might wake up but alas my attempt to wake up early in the morning to finish studying for my biochemistry quiz went down the drain.
Guess what, I slept in and woke up at 9 feeling worse because I did not know if I could manage to finish where I had left off. I started to panic. But before leaving for uni, I at least was able to scheme everything.
It was drizzling outside. Rain has been pouring down on Sydney for two weeks.
On a completely different notice, I fell down once because my mind was too occupied about something. I did not see there was an uneven plane in front of me and I tripped. It was a terrible fall and all I could think of in my head was the word "haemorrhage". Thank you so much for the courses I take in Medical Science, that as soon as I fell, the first word that popped up in my brain was the word to describe blood that escaped from the circulatory system. I tried waking up, I could not care less if there was people watching (I guess no one saw me), my pants just around my knee tore because of hitting the ground so hard. Suddenly, there was this man whom I met earlier approached me saying if I was alright. I was so grateful to him that he took sympathy. I did not know that anyone would saw my great fall. I was kind of embarrassed. Good thing I did not break anything and was still able to continue walk on my own. Thank God, it was not a rainy day that time, or else the fall would be worse.
To continue talking about the rain and the fall, I was on my way to the bus stop today, it was raining, I was rushing and my biggest fear of slipping just came true. I fell down. The woman who was walking beside me suddenly asked me if I was alright, again I was embarrassed. I had a trouble time of decoding why my lower limbs were not synchronised that made me lose balance. I fell down at the same location where I hurt my knee. I quickly got back up, thanked the woman, and quickly rushed again to catch my bus.
My first class which was Pharmacology tutorial is always a blur to me. I should start re-listening to the lectures again. This is the only subject I am left behind. I am totally clueless.
I decided to study for my biochem quiz that day rather than going to the lectures. I had a quiz at 4 and I spent the rest of the hours to study. I was thinking I should do my best on the quiz and so that I could enjoy the reward I give to myself that night (ie the concert).
Quiz was not as hard as I had imagined but I made a couple of mistakes. But oh well, I could just catch up with the next quizzes that is happening in two weeks time. I can't believe mid-semester exam is just right around the corner. AGRGH.
After we had finished the quiz, I felt like shouting at the top of my lungs, being so psyched about the concert. I could not help myself but to smile all the way. I could feel myself being so cheerful that very moment. As if a heavy burden had been lifted off.
ps: This is my first ever concert!
 |
| UNSW orchestra |
 |
| love the trumpet trio! <3 -- they were playing Anderson's 'Bugler's Holiday' |
 |
| first half is done and should I say, it was marvelous |
 |
| lol, this is just like a normal selfie taken at a normal lecture. this is a lecture hall btw. -_- we took this selfie in the middle of the 15 minute interval break between the transition from the UNSW orchestra to the UNSW wind symphony. |
 |
| the second half is just about to begin with STAR WARS theme! what a great start |
 |
| Finale was Howard Shore's The Lord of the Rings soundtrack arranged by the conductor, Steven Capaldo himself this was seriously the best and it was a great choice to end the night. Why are they so good at this! kyaaaa |
Throughout the concert, I felt goosebumps everywhere and the show was totally worth it. They had spent all those weeks of rehearsal for such a great performance. I was in awe from the beginning till the very end. My highlight of the whole show was without a doubt The Lord of The Rings medley but also an unfamiliar song composed by Percy Grainger called Lads of Wamphray. This march song was very refreshing indeed.
I could not possibly wait for their next upcoming performance. I hope they play something that I am familiar of. :)
