Well I have the Exposition and half of the development memorised of the Mozart, I'll be working on the second half today. I think I'll get alot more done over this weekend. Mainly because I don't have a computer to play on :)

I have my own computer, which is connected to a home network with broadband. Obviously I'm on there alot, doing a variety of things. But I can't do that now. It's had a "Primary Master Hard Disk Fail" - sounds kinda fatal.
My computer is old, and probably well past it's use-by date. I wouldn't mind getting a new one, but it's the money, or more the lack of it.

But not having a computer means that this weekend I'll be able to get alot more done. I can spend more time practicing, studying and composing, even if I have to do that composing by hand. I think I remember how to do that ;)

Well, this might be the last you see of me for a bit. I'm using my dad's computer so I can't really garuntee me being on here often. And because it's easter I won't be able to get my computer fixed until at least tuesday, if i'm lucky.

I'll see you later, and I wish everyone a happy Easter.

Happy Easter to you, too, Ben. I'll miss your blog while you're gone, and I hope you're back online soon.
