The last few days have been busy with more and more video editing for the leavers DVD. We've had about 27 to do (a few are only half a minute and so require no editing!) so I've been flat out. Originally I was going to pass on the work to Aonghas to put the final touches on during the weekend, but Aonghas ended up having to go to work for half of Sunday, then had to take his friend to the airport to farewell his girlfriend...now we're still up at 4am with a couple videos to go before rendering and burning begins!
We ended up buying a new printer on Friday after not being able to find a place that would print directly on to DVD's for us. We went with this Canon printer that can also do duplex printing as well so we won't have to waste paper anymore...just ink! We're becoming a bit of a Canon family now. Our camera and scanner and now our printer is Canon!
Saturday was the last day I was teaching my recorder students before the big end-of-year concert next week. I was expecting my students to have done some practice, but (except for one, maybe two) I'm sure they didn't! One student didn't even show up, which is giving me much confidence! I ended up going over and over their mistakes, circling their mistakes, playing through their songs and everything I could possibly do within half an hour. Now it's just up to them! Please little ones don't screw it up next week! I did tell them though that if they did, it would be a good experience for them...yeah right!
Yesterday at church we didn't have lunch as the water was cut for the day, but we had music rehearsal for the Christmas concert in which Aonghas, Hamish and I have to switch instruments at least twice throughout each piece! We go from recorder to recorder to viola or violin or accordion or something else, it feels like some sort of...circus??
Aonghas got to go off to Burger King with his Sunday School class while Hamish and I had regular Sunday School back at church, but oh well at least it wasn't too bad as it was only half an hour and it was sort of interesting talking to Jennifer and the others. Anyway, Aonghas texted me telling me that our mum was taking him straight to work from Burger King and then would come back to give us lunch. He never told me that I had to text our mum to let her know when to come though and so she never came, and our rehearsal was postponed till 2pm. That meant we were waiting at church for an hour before going to rehearsal. Two hours later, finally we had lunch!
There's one week left before university applications close. I still haven't decided which four courses I'll apply for yet, so the pressure is piling up. My friend is thinking of either switching to biomed or doing a health science/arts (psychology) conjoint, and Estee has been trying to encourage me to switch to biomed as well, so I may well consider switching to biomed.
To make matters more complicated though, I got THE letter on Thursday, telling me I had an interview for pharmacy on the following Thursday morning! I guess it'll be a good opportunity in a way to see if I can get in, and if I do at least I won't have to put up with health science for much longer. The only thing is...I don't really have much of an idea about pharmacy! I know you have to sell pills and work at pharmacies, but that's sorta it! As soon as we get this DVD finished I'm going to have to read up on the joys of pharmacy so I can at least sound like I know what I'm talking about in the interview!
