Well today's father's day. I completely forgot but my friend had the fantastic and financially-effective idea of giving him the pinch pot I made in art (the one I spent the entire lesson slaving over and engraved with a little heart). heart It didn't turn out quite right and I accidently left my paints at school... but I think it was appreciated.
Yesterday was my 2nd grade violin exam and I got C+ which is just sad. I'm just going to blame the examiner, she didn't give a single person an A (or so my friend, Jacky, says). I spent the entire SATURDAY morning at SCHOOL struggling in vain to remember the scales I'd had almost the entire year to memorise. But I kind of got side tracked and me and Maddy spent only a little of our prep. time practising our pieces in a duet and the large part of it squealing "OMG! WE SO NEED TO PRACTSE" instead of actually practising and going "Jackie! Jackie! Was the examiner nice? What did you get???" but she wasn't allowed to tell us evil Then it was my go. The exam was in Music Room 7 which was a relief. The last time I had an exam (two years ago) it was in the CMR (Chamber Music Room) which ,true to its name, is this giant echo-y room which is really intimidating. Room 7 is much smaller, Lord be praised. I made a whole bunch of stupid mistakes in my scales redface and my sight-reading was hopeless but I think the orals and one or two of the pieces were okay... okay! Fine! No wonder I got a C+...
I gtg and be all "daughterly" instead of hiding behind my laptop. rolleyes So see you later! -Kuris
