I began the week with a weary, pessimistic post. I'm very, very glad to be able to say that I'll be ending the week with an optimistic one =)
Everything fell into place so well. Now, I shan't reveal my beliefs over why everything worked out so well. Another superstition of mine, haha. But anyway, here's what happened:
Of course, first obstacle was the Marketing project (PBL). We aced it though, my group. Everything we did was spot on, we all spoke quite well... It was as close to perfection as you can get. Felt REAL good after our turn when our tutor spoke to us and said that we did everything well.
Second obstacle: EC (Effective Communication) makeup test. Now, most of you would probably be saying 'What're you worrying about, your English good what!' but nevertheless it was a hurdle I had to overcome. Was nervous before and kinda-sorta nervous during, but aced it as well. I gave the teacher an easy decision to make: an A grade, no question about it. Felt good, the way I breezed through it and met my own expectations effortlessly.
Third obstacle... I don't wanna go into it, too long and complicated, plus I think not many people would actually be able to appreciate how seriously I felt about the troubles. Band-related stuff, and they all worked out as well. No stone left unturned.
A bonus point to be taken from the week: I'm now recognised as THE public speaker, at least in my class. I've received endorsements from my CD (Character Development), FOM (Fundamentals of Marketing) and EC teachers that I'm a top-class speaker. I don't mean to brag, but it feels really nice to have something tangible to be proud of.
Other matters now. I went back to AMK on Thursday (yesterday) to just check out the band camp going on. Basically just followed BT around after dinner as he went to take the Junior Band. It was a real throwback to the past, hearing his voice giving instructions, hearing the Sec Ones playing (they're not too bad, to be honest)... Reminded me of a whole spectrum of things, including practices back when I was a Sec One, as well as practices in the hall... Even the fact that he requested all the fans to be off so as to not affect the sound. All little details that make me reminisce. Most seniors go back to look at their juniors and/or to catch up with their old section mates. I go back to, mainly, soak in the atmosphere, to remember old times. To catch up with myself.
Nothing beats that feeling, really. I went through Hell and Heaven in my time in AMKSS Band, and these little things were what made it all worthwhile.
