I knew it.

*bows at the feet of the blog* I solemnly and sincerely apologise to the Blue Apple blog and vow not to leave again without prior notice.

Sorry x99999999! Seriously, now. I completely forgot about my blog till that day my friend mentioned it to me.

Now, to the true ranting blogging!

This year, I'm taking part in drama and choir.
Fish.
I knew it was going to happen.

Guess what? Pn. S said, since the practices will clash (inevitably), I have to choose between the two. Now, let's see the merits and "non-merits" of each, shall we?

DRAMA
Background
- I tried to enter last year, but chess was held at the same time.
- They got number two last year.
This year
- They put me in, but my role isn't very important. I've got about 15 lines.
Views on it
- I'm not fond of the teachers.
- We're little more than 3 weeks away from the competition, but we haven't confirmed the roles yet. Which is utterly ridiculous. We confirmed it yesterday with Pn. R, but then Pn. S came today and confirmed a different cast. Confusion.
- I already memorised the script, which they have changed twice.
- The teacher cancelled some lines. The other teacher cancelled some other lines. The play is short. Wham.
- Since we're all friends, we can practice at each other's house.

CHOIR
Background
- I also tried to enter last year, but the only Form 1s chosen were Adrian and Lisha. Apparently, the teacher thought they had more commitment. They tried to quit, but failed.
- They got number two last year.
This year
- I got in. I was the only soprano who came for every practice last year.
Views on it
-Previously, I was the only one who knew the whole thing, but now we've finished learning the song.
- It's only our dynamics that have any trouble.
- We're a good team.
- We practice during school hours.
- I helped one of the new sopranos train, and now she knows the song already.
- We've only just finished the song. We haven't learnt the intro and finale.

It looks like choir might win, but drama = fun + already trained for. Plus, in choir, the voices meld, but in drama, one person can screw everything.

I've decided to ask Ms C if I can be a reserve for choir. Wish me luck.
