While clearing up, I found my Grade 5 mark sheet (from, err, 1980something ) and it turns out that I got 126. I had always thought that I had barely scraped it.

It's quite lame that this makes me happy 30 years later, but I don't care (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I found my old grade 8 mark sheet the other week and was delighted to find out I had got 2 marks more than I thought!! ( ok it was still a COMPLETE scrape at 105 as I went to pieces and was unwell on the day but still!)

I think that I got 103 for grade 3 and 104 for grade 4, but I might be making it up, as until about an hour ago I thought that I had got 105 for grade 5!

Sadly, whilst some of the forum coterie were enjoying some joie de vivre, others spent two days in an IT architecture conference trying desperately to avoid the need for matchsticks to stay awake and then pack their desk up for an office move across site... not that I'm envious in any way at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)


Sorry to hear this, Tenor Viol...*feels guilty for joie de vivre*...

Hope your weekend is cheerier!

Well, orchestra this morning, housework this afternoon, waiting for some friends to come over from Liverpool and then we're off to a nice country pub for good grub and beer/wine

Having a day off from my hectic work life. Oh, and not doing anything productive, just a plain lazy day!

105 is not a scrape, it's a respectable pass if you were ill....I got 101 with no excuses other than the examiner was very generous!!! THAT is a scrape. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks Flobiano!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was happy with passing, after the exam I had driven back to school and bet my music teacher a tenner I had failed!! lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I pretty much always just got passes, performing was never a strong point, and I got so stressed I was usually ill too... I remember for my grade 7 violin I couldn't sing at all in the aural tests because I had completely lost my voice the day before.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Another lovely day here...another student out of the blue (and during the day too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) and a lovely generous act from a friend. What more could you hope for?? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
