This morning I started off my day early by sitting in the corridor and watching The Office as I was there very early. By the time lesson started only ten people or so were in which was a lot less than I was expecting, considering it is the last day no one really bothered to come in.
I helped Chris set up Fifa within the lounge room considering he was going to use my personal controller, so that took a good twenty minutes. After that the remaining HNCs and the second years went into the mac suite to do a quiz, I chose to sit in with Dan in his office and talk about our work amongst other things.
When the quiz finished and they took a break and left some of my year group came littered back in and out of the mac suite to finish some of their work before the new year. Whilst Chris played Fifa with a bunch of students, Dan sat in the studio mixing and bouncing some tracks, Jason sat in the mac suite helping out people in my year with their Stylistic Analysis mainly amongst other pieces like Rehearsal Diaries.
Nearing the end of the day, after the Fifa mess was packed up, me and the rest of the second years set up my switch and played Smash bros and Mario Kart which was entertaining for the hour. I had the sudden realisation that my controller had gone and it was returned to Dan or Chris, so I had to stick about until it was returned back to me.
Chris had to take off because some water leak took place, or something along the lines of that which lead to his kids to stay at home so he had to get home as soon as possible. Dan left soon after Chris as he was very tired and starting to get a cold which isn’t the most pleasant thing at this time of year.
So the only person who was left which was Jason, we all sat and played Mario Kart with each other and Jason watched for a while until he decided to go work on Dean’s Stylistic Analysis. When it was my turn to swap off I went and spoke to Jason about how his Christmas is looking and vice versa which was a pleasant end to the day.
I am looking forward to spending time with my family over Christmas whilst giving and receiving gifts, I am not expecting a lot as I don’t want to be spoiled as I am at the age where I could get a job and buy stuff for myself, but I have been struggling to due to my social skills which I will work on as a new years resolution.
I am also looking forward to going back to college to work hard again on the assignment brief because I know composition is my weakest point which is something I have been looking forward to work on ever since my GCSE in Music. I will be sure to post about my time over the next few weeks!
