Awks Exam

Had my grade four clarinet exam today. Didn't go too well...! While I was playing my third piece the reed slid off so much until I was literally just blowing air into my Clarinet and I had to apologise and explain my reed had come off. Examiner was nice, he was like: 'oh dear...can it be fixed?' sometimes webb he was talking he seemed so sincere and posh I was worried he sounded slightly sarcy?! Don't think I got any of my scales or arpeggios right, though sight singing went well, I sang so high he brought it down an octave. And in the final bit of the exam he told me what he was going to question me on after playing a piece 'major/minor, smooth/detatched'. As he was playing I clearly mentally noted it was played in a major key and blatantly detached. After playing he asked me if the left hand chords were smooth or detached. For some reason I hestated loads and just said 'smooth?!' and I think because I'd been doing so bad he practically have me the answer!! Sympathy maybe? After answering he said 'well I played it like this' and *then he played it very staccato like* and I was like 'er oh...that's detached then' o_O

In music today I sang 'Call Me Maybe' lol ;P

Altruism

Another v nice word up there with catharsis its the concept of acting selflessly; self-sacrifice for others Do you know what its like to have someone criticise your every step, every microcosmic fragment of a movement, every action you inadvertently burden until you begin to chastise your own thoughts?? This is who my mother is ostensibly marrying. Here are some frustratingly hypocritically things he says plus comments I would riposte, had I, the audacity: 'did you boil the kettle????? you're wasting money by filling it up all the way' - ok it says min 0.8ltrs and the hard water limescale has clouded the lucidity so you can't tell when it reaches it. So sorry for not being able to judge this minimum value by the weight alone or the metaphysical aqueous forces but evidently the divinity Poseidon was not by my side bc this subversive domestic corruption that is this slight overestimation is surely paralleled to regicide!! Someone hit up ma home g shakespeare bc seem...

CONDOLENCES ARE AVEC X

It seems my soul may have leaked slightly out of my spirit a bit in the exam hall today Unfortunately, for the past two weeks my sleep schedule has been abhorrently what one may consider abhorrently peversive: time of bed varied from 2-4am; time of awakening varied between 2-4pm. Thus, time spent in the realms of my dreams ranged from 12 - 14 hours. Though actually dreams only last about 5 mins even thus the latter utterance was totes nonsensical. Did you know you have multiple dreams but you only remember the most recent one in the morning (or afternoon) just before you awaken!!! Unless your dogs wake you up at 12 and then you fall back asleep and then you can remember two bcus surruptitious poodlie :3 But anyway, due to having to wake up just TWO HOURS AFTER FALLING ASLEEP (bcus unbreakable cycle), I'm sorry my fellow english language A level students, but one was unable to conceal; you all had to feel. Yes, I appreciate you all suffered the burden of the feeling the glacial ...

Waterproof; Nothing to Loose

Yesterday was really nice because my dad and Aunt's boyf went out shopping for technological items whilst my Aunt and I went down to the infinity edge pool. it was such a beautiful moment because while my Aunt was reading on the sunbed I was the only person in the entire pool (really long) and I just swam slightly following the curvature of the curves bcus love all your curves and all your edges; all your perfect imperfections. V invigorating experience just sitting on the outer edge thinking: how it do it?? how water vanish like dat?????? Also having my hair in a bun to prevent chlorine damage felt v revolutionary bcus by exposing my neck There was more opportunity for the cold of my soul to leak out and permeate, hopefully superseding the abhorrence of the radiating heat <3 However I was so grateful for the glacial coolness encapsulating me <3 Thereafter, I exited the perpetual phenomenon and allowed the aqueous droplets of chlorine (chemically intertwined with at least a f...
