Hey guys,
Sorry you had a rubbish day Nicki. If it's any concelation, my day wasn't that great either. I'm really beginning to think that I need to change clarinet teachers; I don't seem to be pushed at all by my current teacher. Only problem is though, that I get free lessons at school, and obviously I'd have to pay for them if I went elsewhere.

Ahem young lady, stop stressing, and stop stressing NOW, or I shall be forced to wield MY pointy stick (and that really will give you cause for stress!).
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
And everyone says I'll be fine but I really don't think I will be.
<aims pointy stick in Nicki's direction>
Repeat after me: I WILL be fine, I WILL be fine, I WILL be fine.

I won't be fine!
Nicki, the more you stress, the worse you'll perform, so stop worrying! You were like this before your GCSEs and look at the results you got after we told you to stop worrying. You're really, really clever, so don't panic.
If I go back to my point about school,
"Teachers tell a group of students to work harder; the people who do need to work harder don't, and the people who don't need to work do!"
So don't panic! If you're worrying (this is broad generalisation) then you obviously don't need to work harder, because if you did you wouldn't care!

Does anyone else remember the young flautist who used to hang around here last summer? She got herself into a real tizz over her GCSEs, only to end up doing extremely well in all of them. I think her username was nicki_flute or something like that.
Nicki, you WILL be fine. Any more of that talk and I'll tell katyjay and sbhoa.
Anyway, off to rustle up a culinarydisaster treat before going out for a sing and then a pint. Have a nice evening everyone.

I suppose, but with my GCSEs, my revision was much better. I had all my coursework out of the way early too.

Hey everyone 
Nicki, I sympathise with you, because my first exam is in 13 days! And it's also a subject I'm not totally comfortable in.... I just can't get my head round the fact that I'm actually doing my GCSEs in a few weeks time.
On the other hand, joining in with the pointy-stick wielders sounds like fun.

You're allowed to moan, but we're just trying to convince you that you needn't worry. A little bit of nervousness if fine, maybe good in some cases, but if you wind yourself up too much you'll get too stressed, go into the exam thinking that you're going to fail, and then you just might screw it up. Relax, you'll be fine. Take regular breaks and do your work in little chunks. Just DON'T do what my brother did the other day and stay up until 6 in the moring doing coursework that was due in the next day. That's NOT a good idea!

We all need one!
Gah...whereas, my brother would go "14 days is loads of time", it seems like nothing to me!
I have a General Studies exam on Monday...
It is just I have high expectations of myself and what I want
Goodness, I really do moan don't I
*zips up mouth*And those high expectations will mean that you learned your stuff properly the first time around and needn't over stress about revision.

Exactly!
*zips mouth up to prevent negativity escaping*
Sorry all...
Sorry all...
My mum just accused me of ruining society because I reached for the pepper and didn't ask for it to be passed
Awwwww Choddy!

You don't need to apologise - you just need to trust us when we reassure you you're going to be fine!!
Choody, get in your corner NOW! lol
No don't worry *hugs*
No don't worry
*hugs*
No, you're sensible people who are trying to get a stupid worrier to realise she'll be ok.
At least you have somewhere to vent all this and be reassured - would be worse if you were keeping it all bottled up and no one knew you were worried.
Yes - that is true! Although, I think everyone would know I was worried, but that's not the point
Just back briefly before I really do run away to burn a salad or something - one of my best friends has just phoned to say that her baby girl was born on Wednesday morning. Mother and baby are doing fine.
Altogether now: "Aah".
Looks like I might just have to pay a visit to her to coo over the newborn.
Oh, and baby said to tell Nicki not to worry, as she's bound to pass all her AS exams with flying colours.

We havn't convinced you have we?! But seriously Nicki, have a break, maybe go for a walk or something, it's a lovely day (well it is where I am anyway!), or have a bath.
Breathe in.....Breathe out.....Breathe in......Breathe out.......

.... But she's actually met some of us and you still think she'll trust our judgement???
So how's the knitting coming on Deborah?
Well...yes I'll trust you just this once
Deborah - *obligatory ahhh* Congratulations to your friend
PD - I'm going for tea now, then I'll ring Andy, so I'll have a break from revision

Wow, I never thought of that.... I hope it cheers up Nicki as much as it just did me.... (that was a very badly constructed sentence
but you get what I mean)

erm..... did I mention I failed all my A levels?
Katy.... that's nice.. I got two for the price of one there...

Ok... pretend I didn't say it.
Or reflect on what a successful, well balanced person I've become anyway...

)Yes, it's not the be-all and end-all of everything.
Absolutely. Keep things in perspective - if the absolute worst happened and you failed your exams, you can retake, you can rethink your options, there are loads of possibilities. Reflect on what a healthy, wealthy country we live in, and on the fact that your education has been laid on for you, and really, even if you failed miserably, you're still lucky. You have food, money, parents who love you, a home... life is good even if it can stress you out sometimes.
There are quite a few people on here who didn't do as well as they'd hope in their A Levels. It doesn't seem to have slowed them down too much.
And besides which, you're going to do great anyway so DON'T WORRY!

I really can't be bothered to do anything tonight

I agree 100% with what you're saying, but doing things is so much harder than giving advice...I must practice what I preach really

That makes 2 of us....
Hi everyone.
Hello Neil.
Had a good day?
Had a good day?
Not bad. Yourself?
Pretty good thanks.
Just wondering whether I made the right decision ......
My piano teeacher rang yesterday to rearrange my lesson because she broke a tooth and the dentist appointment is in what would have been my lesson time tomorrow. I agreed to have my lesson an hour earlier instead of leaving it until next week..... teacher with toothache.. is this a good idea???

Evening all!

Evening Oddball and Noodelz! How be you?
