I had my Technical Exam yesterday. I think it went fairly well. I believe I passed, though I won't find out for a few weeks. I've taken the rest of this week off to give my body a bit of a break, and so I can focus on my written exams. I have one on thursday, history, and one on friday, harmony.

I had a gig last night, performing one of the composers pieces at a new music club. It was great fun, and I wouldn't mind doing it again, so long as it's a good piece. There were some pieces there that to me are like "Yea, it's a bunch of notes put together randomly" - the types of pieces I hate. I prefer functional harmony.

I' glad you enjoyed your gig and I hope you have more like that. Meanwhile, good luck on your final exams.
