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.

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

*Def: Pronoia, (the anti-dote to paranoia), the feeling that everyone is out to help you
sarah-flute
Pronoia! I love it!

Sending lots of pronoia vibes your way wink.gif

Oops, I meant Pro-plus™... or was it chocolate-covered Pro-fiteroles?

Goodgood!

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....

I just hope you weren't Lully-ied into a false sense of security....
mrbouffant
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!
sarah-flute
So, how was the exam Faure you? Hope it wasn't too Strauss-ful, no mental Blochs in the exam room...
Cyrilla
Well, as long as you don't feel you were on a Haydn to nothing, mrb...

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!!!
sarah-flute
Did it go OK Jane? smile.gif

Recordings and performance practice

Ahhh I see, not TOO much of a crowbar effort then? wink.gif

It's all coursework, didn't you know? tongue.gif

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 blink.gif)
janexxx
No...fitted in really naturally! laugh.gif

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!
