Ahhhh.... ^_^

Piano exam is over! Ha. I know I can pass, its just a matter of how well. When I was standing outside the door waiting for Sherman to go in, I was trying to peek at the name on the door. Turns out his write up was pasted on the wall for all to see. Sheesh. And I was still like craning my neck to see the name on the door. Yay... he was a nice examiner too. Even though I played like crap for my scales (all but four started wrongly, ended correctly, plus I played one E minor instead of E major), played like a snail in my sightreading, and did pretty well in my aural (if I may say so myself). Lala. At the end, after all the thank yous and stuff, he surprised me by going "Bye Jane!"

......

Ok. I think I would prefer that to a frown. It was early in the morning then. Thank goodness he's obviously a morning person. And that he didn't get out of the wrong side of the bed. ^_^ So today I met a nice person! Malcolm Weale, trained in piano and trumpet. He's recorded a lot of trumpet concertos, including those by Haydn. I dare say I'm a whole lot luckier than Elaine. *Whew!* I daresay this is the nicest exam I ever took, except for the part when I played E minor instead of E major. I don't know what happened to me; I just started playing E minor. Oh man! Before I started I was like "ok, ok, E major, similar motion, legato." And... and... I played the first five notes and... I could feel my face just frozen in absolute mortification. Why do things like that always happen to me? Everyone has a panic button. But its seems that while everyone else's is covered nicely in glass and untouched, mine is already exposed and activated by a mere tingling of the nerves. Other times I just smash down on it the moment I hit running notes during CCA sightreading. Hmph. At least my aural was alright.

Math test after that. Die. I am going to be one of the worst in my class. That is so not new. Gee, I suck!

Cross country after that. Argh. At least the route seems to get shorter and shorter each year. Sec 1 was when I worried about it and checked off the days to it, route was longest and worst, came home with muscles aching. Sec 2, slightly shorter, made up mind to walk, came home just dead out. Sec 3, couldn't be bothered because of piano exam, ended in no time, feeling quite alright now.

Ahhhh... No more tests! Hallelujah! Ok, correction: No more tests to study for. I've got an unseen test next week for Literature. And rather obviously, I can't study for that.

^_^. A short break. Before the end of year cramming starts.

Full cycle huh? Here we go again.
