didn’t turn out quite as expected

Today was my first ever choir audition. Well I’m not seriously considering joining this particular music group, but I wanted to at least have a feel of how the audition process went, so two OG mates and I went for those. We were required to sing the school anthem, and a bunch of random notes and parts of scales. Fun and slightly nervy stuff it was.

Having watched some of the weekend’s Premier League highlights, I have come to a conclusion that Gianfranco Zola has made a great impact at West Ham – this team are playing some eye-catching football. Manchester United were arguably the inferior team despite beating the Hammers 1-0. Also, Fernando Torres’ recovery from injury couldn’t have come at a worse time; just when it seemed that United were going to cruise their way to a third consecutive league title, up stepped Torres to get Liverpool some valuable points.

In other news, I was admitted into the English Language Elective Programme, meaning that I had done sufficiently well for the relevant authorities to deem me at least worthy of a shot at this whole syllabus. Today was the first ‘real’ lecture in that subject – an interesting one it was. I’ll be looking to take away some particularly pertinent knowledge from the two years I’ll spend taking this subject.

Today also was the first day I played basketball with any of my OG mates, and the first time I played basketball in about two years with my second-favourite Chinaman, Mr. Shao Ye Tong. I must have played for more than two hours today; I finished dead tired and very sweaty.

Tomorrow is perhaps to be the second-most significant day of my junior college life to date – subject combinations are to be submitted then. I’ve already confirmed what I’m going to take for these two years; the only thing left for me to do is get the formalities over and done with.
