poetry slam (again) / Sunday, August 26, 2007
yay..... poetry slam was fun. im glad i took part in it. it helped reach the quota of 1 eng comp per yr and it was F-U-N........ but im like so sad we didnt qualify for the final 10.... so sry 2p, u came down to watch the 2m and 2k group..... sniff sniff.... and i thot we were getting better as we progressed....
but as i said it was fun, and there were only going to be 6 places? see, it was the prefinals round so only 6 outta the 20 teams could progress. but tts not the hard part. the hard part in qualifying was cuz st. nicks sent in 7 teams to participate...... and guess wad, i heard they hv a cca for poetry slam so yup...... u can imagine......... the other schools literally got owned in the 1st round with the 6or 7 st. nicks teams getting the top 6or 7 spots..........
i screwed up the 1st poem cuz i forgot my line...... was at hockey interhse when the others was rehearsing so (sry!!!)...... hopefully the judges thot it was part of the poem but i oso improvised another line.......... i think it was supposed to go like this
protecting his treasures
in the graves, the numerous bodies
so like i was really anxious and said
protecting his bodies (uh-oh.........)
in the graves, they were numerous (WHEW!)
haha........... ok, bad grammar? but like........ yikes!
i thot our second poem appealed more to the crowd (as in, we finally did actions that actually made the audience laugh)
but sigh............ oh, and the crowd in the pre-finals was like all st nick supporters / participants and they were like screaming everytime their teams went on stage. ow.... my ears......
but anw, the poetry slam was fun..... even chin jie said it was fun (even though he didnt want to join it at first)
