But then you don't have to walk far do you?

It'll take me about 10-12 mins ish to get to the bus stop, then it'll take about 3/4 hour on the bus, which should give me about 10 minutes to chill before my lesson

Morning, everyone. I've taken my poorly car into the garage again today (second time in a week) to see if they can find the fault this time. I've borrowed a car from them to get to college - a little Corsa - as Thursday's my busiest day.
I leave at around 10.45 for a 1-hour lesson with my A2 Recital student, followed by flute ensemble and two more 30-minute lessons. Then home to deal with the car, and four more lessons (3 x 45 minutes and one half-hour).
At some point today I'll look at the music I'm conducting fot the flute festival we're holding on Saturday, and practise the piano piece I'm playing at my piano teacher's adult play-through session tonight.
It makes me tired just thinking about it.

good luck!

Just had my predicted grades. ABD - 20 points short of the 300 I need for the uni I want to read Psychology and Criminology.
Gutted.

My predicted grades weren't high enough either, Helen, and I got better than predicted and got in, so don't despair just yet.

It is all because of school - I have a test tomorrow, a lot of work to do over half term, and they're trying to bring in a new, totally ridiculous timetable next year which would mean lessons starting at 8.30 and not finishing until 4.

Awww Nicki - sorry you're feeling over-stretched.
OK - first thing - don't waste today's energy worrying about a change of timetable. It might not happen. I agree it sounds ghastly - but they might find all sorts of reasons why it won't work.
Have a warm drink and then concentrate on the work for that test. Then take it from there - a short break and maybe a few minutes' playing.
Here's another ...

Listen to maggiemay good sound advice no point worrying abouwhat you cant change or may never happen.
Concentrate on the test and do youself justice.
When its all over sit back and think about how well you did under pressure.....
I agree men are never there when you want them and under you feet when you dont.

This is a bit like that illusion thing on the boards somewhere, something more obvious would be 'you will go to sleep'. It's something that people will bound to do, all in the mind. I know a little on 'hypnotism' and that sort of street magic however, I would never perform it: I always muck it up!
