#02.01.16

Okay. Exhausting day, emotionally an physically. The first half of the day went well and funny, even. During Music, we were observed by Ms. Arlene. So basically, our teacher prepared shit. She was talking and asking us questions but most of the time, no one answers her. Awkward, really. Then she ended up giving us an activity. We were supposed to make a song that promotes our school, just like a jingle, really. My group and the others did not do well, unfortunately. Mine even came up at the last minute, or at least I did. The others performed but it was not so good because the time was very limited. Then the funny part happened where the observer suggested stuff because she was also kinda disappointed on how the activity went. Then she told us that she would like to be invited when we already came up with the whole song as our performance task. However, our supposed pt was not that, it was a musical play. But our subject teacher had no choice so she changed it. We were laughing our asses off after. By the afternoon, we were supposed to make the props but we ended up practicing the yell. I don’t even want to talk about how the afternoon went. It was massively tragic and frustrating. Can’t wait for this week to end.
