prelude to the end of part III

this is when i go through my well thought out plans for my future...

someone tell me why do i have too many interests, and how to whittle them down to a few so i can concentrate on those few :(

popcontemporaryjazzclassicalpianovoicedrawingcomposingarrangingproducingenglishliteraturegermanjapanese... and there's the necessary stuff to do, such as exercising etc.

when i (finally) get to university i'll have literally no more time left for extraneous pursuits, so i need to settle them before university! help!

imagine a timetable like this (i imagine myself doing something like this in 2009):

6.00am wake up
6.30am travel to school
7.30am reach school for assembly
8.00am start conducting maths or physics classes
5.00pm end of classes
7.00pm start teaching piano at a music school
10.00pm go home
11.00pm reach home
alternatively,
8.00pm start playing piano at a pub or hotel lobby
11.00pm go home
12.00pm reach home

career, money = good ($65/day for relief teaching alone!), time = zero. unless i spend the free time in the day on individualistic things, but my dear colleagues will notice. hm.

picture this: i import a mini MIDI keyboard into my office cubicle, plug it into the laptop lent by the school (ok perhaps my OWN laptop, since when does school provide laptops to relief teachers, or do they?), and fiddle with the black-and-white plastic keys silently, the sound travelling electronically through headphone cables and converted into sound waves at my ears. when i should be marking scripts or coming up with lesson plans or preparing tutorial solutions or giving remedials. uh oh.

or maybe i'm thinking way too far ahead. still, i got to make the best out of this time. i want to go for courses! perhaps a music- or language-related course, or learn a contemporary dance style, driving lessons, japanese becuase i'm interested in its culture, german for its usefulness if i do get to travel to europe again. ahh, europe... oh yes, exploit my membership cards (safra, chevron) as much as possible!

somebody please give suggestions how to spend my time? do tag or leave a comment here :)

oh, i received my self-shipment of my CDs - tales of earthsea by studio ghibli and instrumental versions of songs (aka a music CD) found in studio ghibli animations :D:D the music CD is a cheat, it's mostly MIDI :'( but for MIDI it's quite good, acutually more than passable. love their tunes, you guys should go listen to some of them :) haven't watched tales of earthsea (yes, it's adapted from the novel series of the same name) yet, maybe i'll watch it tomorrow...
