  • Halp!

    So the main bulk of my exams are out of the way. Ancient History could have been a lot worse, except the last paper was a bit dodgy. Music was relatively good. So that's a relief.

    Now I'm on half term for a week, but I have to revise for Latin, on the 4th. Memorise exactly 275 lines of Virgil's Aeneid Book 12 and 16 hefty sections of Tacitus' Annals 1, in English but with close reference to the Latin, not to mention keep up all that vocabulary and make sure my grammar's in working order? Don't mind if I don't.
    My teacher's faith in me is touching, but sadly misplaced. Don't know how I'm going to do it. I desperately need an A to make sure I can get an A next year to make sure I stand a half decent chance of university.

    On a slightly more immediate note, I'm REALLY HUNGRY but I can't go downstairs because I might have to talk to my bonkers aunt who's invited herself over again. I wish my mother would inform me of these things so I could stock up on provisions before she gets here.

  • Yawn, stretch

    Goodness gracious me. Has it really been that long since I wrote? Long enough for me to get a "blog.co.uk misses you" email! Disgraceful!

    School is the best time of your life? I bloody hope not. On Wednesday I have two English Lit papers, and the day after that I have 5 exams in one day, comprising 3 hours' worth of ancient history essay writing and 2 music papers. Then after half term is 3 Latin exams in one day.

    My horn teacher said to me the other day that to get into music college I should be doing at least one hour and a half practice session a day, preferably 2. So I'm trying to build up my stamina but at the same time I HAVE EXAMS IN A FEW DAYS AND I'M GOING TO FAIL AHHHH
    and then I won't get in anywhere anyway. :(

    Today I also had a contest thing in Crawley with my brass band. Apparently (I didn't stay for the adjudication) we came 4th in the contest - as it's an entertainment thing and not just musical - but the adjudicators said that we were 2nd muscially. Not too bad, as we were the only youth band there. We managed to get the best soloist and best conductor/compere prizes too which isn't bad.

    MUST REVISE
    MUST REVISE
    MUST REVISE
    MUST REVISE
    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

    So that's why I've not had so much time for scribbling.
