*Sarcastic note* Great day I had today! Woke up at 8am just to see Ms. Sathya about the fucked up syllabus and guess what? We'll have to complete our new text in 3 weeks. Going to be doing Measure for Measure by Shakespeare, it sounds a little more interesting than Antony and Cleopatra, so that's a plus.

The story is basically about this person named Duke Vincentio who is very lax in upholding the law of sexual morality. He then decides to go away (for what reason I don't know yet) and appoints a judge by the name of Angelo, a stringent man when it comes to the law. The story then introduces a man (Claudio) who has impregnated his lover, Juliet but having put off his wedding, is now a criminal. So he gets caught by Angelo who is now upholding the fornication law that demands any person caught fornicating by sentenced to death (or something along those lines). Claudio then begs his sister Isabella, a soon-to-be nun to help save him. Isabella then met with Angelo, who has the hots for her. He makes her a deal: she sleeps with him, he lets her brother go. But Isabella being pure and virtuous, says no and tells her brother to be prepared to die. After much begging from Claudio's part, Isabella meets Duke Vincentio who is disguised as a friar. He cooks up a plan and gets the dumped fiancee of Angelo to sleep with Angelo instead of Isabella, with the condition that the lights are all off. Angelo hadn't wanted to keep his promise, and decided to chop off Claudio's head that very night. However, the Duke had prepared another criminal to be the sacrificial lamb and so all is well. When the Duke returns as himself (not the friar), Isabella and the dumped fiancee Marie then petition him, accusing Angelo of such deeds. Fast forward a few scenes, and Angelo is found guilty of lying, while Isabella and Marie are off scot-free. Angelo is forced to marry Marie, and the Duke proposes to Isabella, to which she gave only silence. The end.

Not bad, I suppose. As compared to Antony and Cleopatra where it was only a fallen general and a woman often referred to as a 'triple-turned whore'.

The bad part of this whole thing is: We have classes during the trial exams, which is a total bitch. Worst of all is having classes during the weekend. Saturday, 8-11 am and Sunday (Sunday!!! Who the hell has classes on Sunday?!) from 2-5 pm. Ugh. Of course I won't be able to make the Sunday classes since I'll be working. I even had to move the Saturday class one hour earlier (it was originally at 9) and I felt pretty bad about it so I didn't ask for a change on Sunday. But I don't really care if I miss 3 hours of class, it sounds bad, but half the time I don't even pay attention so it's okay. Ms. Sathya was already like 'You're working at such a stage in your studies?' and I had to give a bashful reply of 'Only during the weekends.' Argh! I so do not want to go on Saturdays, I'm already dead beat after 8 hours of boredom, and now I can't even enjoy some rest if I have to get up at 7 in the friggin' morning! Thank god it's only for 2 weeks, as long as it doesn't extend anymore.
