WRITING IN VISUAL, PERFORMANCE & CARNIVAL ARTS
*** Monday 30th April 2018. ***
Today is Monday and the first weekday after the end of the semester. I
never like it when they do us that with a final exam in the English courses. It
was a nine o’clock exam in the morning and to be held in JFK Auditorium. That
was another thing. The hall always was a human freezer in the morning.
When I got my question paper and they told us to begin, I took some time
to select the question. I still did the sentence outline from the other course
and began. A lot of thanks to Miss Dennis for properly discussing how to do the
introduction. I had my worries towards the end of the exam. I did not feel so
confident about these finals at all. I hope that it would be alright in the
end.

MUSIC THEORY 2
*** Tuesday 8th May 2018. ***
The examination for this course was very long and a lot of confusion was
needed. I honestly needed to lay down after the exam. There were not many pages
in the script but we had to do a lot of music notation. I sometimes find the
time should be three hours instead of two because they keep us in class for
three hours.
I did my best and handed it up with just a few more minutes left. Justin
and I had a short chat on the outside. We had the exam up at MD3 with the
dangerous gallery. I loved the view from there. We spoke about the exam, the
degree and how we both wanted to give up and withdraw from the programme and
aural training. This really was a hard year with an unbelievable amount of
classes.

** Friday 11th May 2018. **
This exam was a second trip up to
MD3 after Music Theory 2. I can remember meeting my cousin Joshua out in the
drive-in when I got out of the car. I was running close to the starting time of
the exam with about less than ten minutes to go put my bag and get up those
numerous steps so I couldn’t stop to speak to Joshua. I also met up with
someone from Hillview. It was a while. Only a handshake was passed as he was
busy in his books.
The exam went longer than
expected. I know I used up all of the time. A lot of us used up all our time
and the class walked down together. A lot of terms and definitions I could not
remember. At one point I felt like I was not going to do so well in this exam.
I just tried to finish out all of the questions and leave them as they were.
As soon as I got back my bag, I wrote
the name of the course onto the top right-hand corner of the receipt and placed
it into my folder. On the trip back home, it felt like a huge relief that this
was done and over with. I have individual performance exams to go and Aural
Training again.

PERFORMANCE MUSIC 2.
** Tuesday 15th May 2018. **
On this day my individual steelpan exam took place. I was not first this
time but probably second or third. The two pieces that I presented to the jury
were “Utsav Ki Awaz” (Festival of Voices) and “Pan Parranda”. I
had the two bookstands I used measured to the right height and then took them into
Studio 4t the jury. “Amazing how nervousness knows how tuh kick in all of as
sudden,” I said to myself in the mind. I gave the information they needed then
began the first piece.

AURAL TRAINING 2.
** Thursday 15th May 2018. **
I got this exam in the evening. It was fine as usual. One surprising
thing was that in the labelling of scales section, Mrs. Neaves had to play for
the listening and answering part. Our choices were major, minor, pentatonic and
harmonic minor. The minutes she played the melodic minor scale in the thing I looked
at her seriously waiting for that second playing just to make sure.
I wanted to wait for someone else to say something just in case. Then
Ketje next to me paused the exam for the invigilator to tend to him. Then when miss
came over from behind the piano in a rush, she spoke softly with the invigilator
and she said, “NO Change!” and went back behind the piano. At the second
playing, she continued with the melodic minor.
The rest of the exam was good. The second half of that written exam was
just simply music theory questions to fill out. Some of us at the end of the
exam had a good laugh.

[UPDATE]
I had to wait a long while for the results to come out. Usually, they take
three months for the system to do that. The English course was not good apparently.
Just a few points more in that final. Not sure when exactly I would be doing
over those courses I and I hope it is not soon. It has really been a long academic
year. I hope the next one coming ain’t gonna be so wild.
