Thanks everyone for the good luck messages. One day to go, if I don't know it now.....
Going to do a couple of exam qs today and then play my fiddle for relaxation.

Seriously though, best of luck. I'm off to read thru my notes, but I doubt it will help much...

I'm itching to get my hands on the course materials though, of course

You really have gone for it, both feet, like you said.
Good for you


I'm a person of extremes,

Thinking of you both, Jane and MrB!

Thanks...a good dose of "pronoia"* is well needed over here

I have found out I'm not eligible for Gov. funding (I wish they made how this works clearer on the website) but MIGHT get funding from the OU itself: we'll see....

"extremes" -- well, extremely good on flute
Oh dear, I hope the funding won't stop you doing it --- let me know won't you?

I settled me nerves with a bit of Chopin before hand.. had a cup of tea just to whet my Birtwhistle.. then walked over to the exam hall, went to the wrong building first which was a bit of a Blow!

So, how was the exam Faure you? Hope it wasn't too Strauss-ful, no mental Blochs in the exam room...

Kodaly have tried harder??!!
Anyway enough of this, I'm just glad its behind me now...roll on Christmas Eve and the results.
I was in work this afternoon, and I felt a cross between hyper (end of term feeling) and wet dishcloth (completely wrung out). I couldn't write anything either, the ball of my finger and my wrist was aching from 3 hours-ish solid writing.
I feel for all you GCSE folks, at least I don't have another one tomorrow...or perhaps EVER!!!

It's all coursework, didn't you know?

Well done for surviving the ordeal J. Quite a fair paper wouldn't you say? Rather similar to 2004 by the looks of things with just a bit of rewording here and there.
No more exams woooooooooooo! (Well until, gr8 theory in two weeks

)

No...fitted in really naturally!
Off now, quartet, and then I think I will have a strong G & T tonight. Could do with one now, but I have to drive!
