Already a month at Berklee. Hmm. Class schedules aren't that busy, it only seems I'm busy cos I keep on slacking.....haiz... Made jamming friends with the singapore guys and a kenyan guy and a taiwan guy. It's fun to jam but I'm more of a standards player than 1-chord bebop funk @_@

I might be the slightest teeny tiny leeeeeeetle bit homesick. But I miss the food most. The food suckssss. It's too expensive or too ewww and the rice sucks >_< Tomorrow's a holiday so might go out shopping for Xmas presents.

I think I'm slowly converting to the side of coffee. Really really like those caramel frappuccinos. Soooo sweet and the coffee taste isn't that strong. Must resist urge to buy one every day....but nooooo......too expensive....but so nice.....=9

So here's a rundown of modules:

Modules
College Writing: I HATE WRITING ESSAYS. But surprisingly I actually score well on them. This from someone who repeatedly failed Lit throughout secondary school.

Introduction to film scoring: Too much lecture, not enough composing!!! Just taking cos it's a prerequisite=p

Afro-Caribbean Rhythms &percussion: Fun. But my hands really hurt after >_<

Private instruction: My teacher's a cool guy. He said I need to stop smooshing everything together and work on different techniques...

Piano labs: They're ok, but only when the lecturers actually show up for class -_-

Harmony -
Lecturer: *rambling* Dominant 7ths...substitutions...tensions...lydian mode...mixo flat 13...but since this is jazz you can use whatever chords you like=)
Me: *&^%#

Ear Training (noooooo! not again!!!!) - Quite fun actually. Lucky the prof likes me so I can get away with skipping some class=P

Ensemble: Let's just say, if Spicer were black....

It's been a busy September, and not just in the ways I thought. Came close to several blue screens of death, but thank God I got through it somehow. Yeah even if I may be blundering from one point to the next, I can't give up. Got to stay positive and keep holding on. Since that's the wish I'm aiming for, I can't let myself get distracted the what ifs and hows. Stop thinking, just focus on doing the best I can as the real me.

At the same time I need to be more decisive. Yes or now. Now or later. Is never an option? But how long can you maintain the status quo? All that can be done now is just speculation, and though I'm kind of dreading it I sort of want it to be over. Yeah, and then comes the second tier of shit which you totally cannot predict. And most of the shit is justified, so that's gonna be tough.

I need to level up really fast in a short space of time and God so help me if I'm not ready when it happens >o< We're all just dreamers here...

For now just let this be enough to last till then...
