- Delivered my submissions for Stage 2 of the MDS part-time educator application process.
The pressure really did build up at the end. Gosh, the last piece was as hard as I had imagined. Not the best time to be right.
I sent over my videos at about 7:30pm, after a long day of practicing and recording. Admittedly nothing was excellent about my application- the recording quality, my drumming and the sound quality.
But I did exactly what I had set out to do... do the best I could do in the time provided. I could've obsessed about the recording quality, but that would have taken time away from practicing, which was so much more important.
Here are the results:

- Celebrated the end of my mission by watching "J'aime regarder les filles" at Alliance Francaise. My complicated relationship with French cinema continues... I can't help thinking that the process in deciding what makes a movie isn't too restrictive in France.
Lessons Learnt:
Stage 2 of the interview process with MDS was a loosing battle for me. From the beginning I knew that I wouldn't be able to deliver a mind-blowing performance. And that sucked!
But still, it was worth my best effort.
I was right... I didn't deliver a mind-blowing performance after all. But it wasn't all that shabby neither!
Most importantly, the process, the practice, the experience of recording myself, these were all worth the sweat and tears.
In the end, I have no regrets about the application.
