I woke up around 7 am, and felt pain on my back. I had a history of back pain before which was quite serious that making me had to go to fisiotherapist; and since then I have to be very careful with my back. This morning the same pain happened again.
I decided to get up, and get ready for my 8.30 class, while before class I went to Wallgreens to buy a thermad pads for my back, and I wore that + back support for the whole day in order to lessen the pain.
My first class was Choral Arranging, we are having a SATB accapella project. I am arranging the song "People Need The Lord" in pentatonic (Sunda) style. And this morning was the first time I showing him the arrangement. I worked hard on this project, but you know what, my professor softly 'reject' my arranging. He said that it is not usual for Western 'ear', and since we're in America, it's better to use western style. I argued with him a little bit, then he explained more that He will not be able to help/teach me about something that he doesn't familiar with. He did not say that I have to arrange a new song, he said that I should change my arranging / twist it into something that familiar to American's ear. It's very hard to do that, I'd rather start from scratch with a new piece. ERRRGGHH..! I wasn't happy at all with this fact.
The next schedule was chapel, and I played the Timpani. Today piece had a very major timpani part. I did okey, not perfect, but at least I did well at the major spots of the piece.
After chapel, suddenly I remember that I forgot to do my Music History take home test. Gosssssh!! I planned to do it last night while I was working in computer lab. But I totally forgot, and I watched movies instead...errrgghh. So after voicle lesson (12 pm) I went home and try to do the test before my next class started (1.30 pm). I barely finished them, there was one essay question that I need to finish, but I turned that in anyway, and I'll give the rest later.
Finished with my afternoon class, my brain was a mess, and I could not think anything else but driving home before work at 6pm.
So I tried to relax myself (not sleeping, no!, preparing my church task instead). 15 before six, I was ready to go to work, while the cell phone rang... my friend who worked the afternoon shift called and wondering why I did not show up on 4.30 while I SHOULD HAVE WORKED FROM 4.30.
GOOD GRIEF !!! I TOTALLY FORGOT!!!!!!!
Then I run like crazy to work... and here I am, feeling bad about this day...and thinking what worse will be happened next?
By the way, my mom is still in the hospital. She had to get in the ICU two days ago. And my sisters think to move her to Singapore hospital so that she may get better treatment there. I still need prayer from all of you. Thanks anyway.
Hmmm...It is life... there are ups and downs... so CARPE DIEM man!!!
Don't worry about tomorrow bcoz today has its own stuff to worry about:P
