Well done! Grade 8, what a fantastic achievement. And a Merit, too! Even better!

Maybe my results will be coming out soon. Whereabouts in the country are you?

Hooray, well done, well done - told you you would be fine....AND you got the result so quickly. After reading some other posts of folks still waiting after sitting their exams in October, I thought you might end up having to stew. I'm really glad you didn't. And given what you've been through to get there, you can be doubly pleased with yourself. Diploma next? wink.gif

Funny, I just remembered something that happened on my way to my exam - gone out of my head until now, but quite remarkable !
I got to within 2 minutes of my teachers house and a song came on the radio, 'Your Song' Elton John. Think what you may, but I am an enormous fan of his ! I pulled over to the side of the road, amasing view over the countryside, turned up the radio and sang my heart out !!
Must have been a sign, that song is just so NOT PLAYED over here on the radio !!!
Life's strange.
My teacher has given me a beautiful sculpture of a woman playing a clarinet, for 'my acheivements, of which she is proud ' I'm speechless .............

That! could be a sign, cos you are in France!! biggrin.gif
I love that song, too. Last night, my husband sang this song and played piano. (not as good as Sir.Elton John).

You are really an inspiration!

Hi Trudi -I thought I'd already posted a 'well done' to you, but reading through the thread I see that I haven't - sorry, and WELL DONE! tongue.gif tongue.gif

This is what comes of visiting the Forums at top speed, skimming through and thinking 'I'll reply next time I'm on' before rushing off to do something else! I haven't had time to visit more than just briefly for ages now - I always seem to be really busy with one thing or another....

g6 piano. I've never been nervous waiting for a result before, but for some reason I am on this one! I had a dream that I failed horribly. I also had a dream that I was being chased by a slavering, insatiable beast. I'm not going to read to much into either of them.

Fantastic - I'm so pleased for you. Just one question - what date did you take it? I was under the impression that you took it after me (November 28) - in that case - WHERE ARE MY RESULTS?

Anyway, you can smile all through Christmas now!
