Parental Consultation Evening
Posted Nov 21, 2001
Yes, it's that time of term again. Just for the record here's how it went in order of occurence...
Photography:
What the teacher said:
Lifson is always there, gets the work done, and always has a different approach to things. Lifson produces some interesting and original work.
What my parents "heard":
Lifson is a proper freak and is going round photographing weird things in weird ways, but it's roughly in focus so it's not too bad.
Computing:
What the teacher said:
Lifson is always there, but programming is a little slow. But as long as you do put some work in at home, it will be okay. Also going into way too much detail - work on the overview more.
What my parents "heard":
Lifson is lounging around doing s** all during lessons, and will not have the project finished even if given the rest of eternity to work on it. Progrmming is in need of major help.
English Language and Literature:
What the teacher said:
Lifson has an outstanding essay for me, but as long as you have it in by the end of the week it's no big deal. Great debating work though, can't be faulted on that.
What my parents "heard":
Lifson does nothing but talk during lessons and never does any work. Homework situation is dire and severe monitoring is required.
Tutor:
What the teacher said:
Lifson did a great presentation. We required at least 10 min but Lifson managed to stretch to 20 by inciting some good debate. Lifson provided an interesting Powerpoint presentation and provided a 1 page handout. Will have to re-do the hand out as I've just found out that it needs to be 3 pages, but that won't be a major problem. Set realistic target for English essay.
What my parents "heard":
Handout was appauling and not enough work was put in to it. Presentation was padded out with waffle and too much work was put into the PowerPoint presentation. English is a major cause for concern.
How am I supposed to fight this!?!?!

ESWO Audition
Posted Nov 13, 2001
Got a letter in the post this morning.
I'M GOING TO THE STATES!!!
When I saw "congratulations", I half expected there to be a hand written note saying, "you flunked up the audition, but we're desperate for Bass Trombones, so take a very very deep breath and practice till we get there." But there wasn't.
Happiness is a trombone called mine!
Must get on with coding for my Computing A2-Level now. I've been putting it off for too long.

ESWO Audition
Posted Nov 9, 2001
Had my Re-Audition for the East Sussex Wind Orchestra the other day. It went rubbish. Mucked up the piece, flunked the scales, and flopped on the sight reading.
Really should spend less time here, and more time practicing. No, that would be a bad thing...
