Well I've finished all of my exams now. I think i've passed everything, which would be nice.

I'm still thinking of a name for my new piece. i haven't had any suggestions, which is slightly annoying. I do have one name that I came up with that is growing on me the more I think about it. Instinctus Magnus - latin for "a strong feeling of Inspiration." It's special as my parish (which the piece was written for) has a parish prayer, and in one of the lines it says "Strengthen and Inspire us on our lives together" - I think I will go with that name. However I will leave the file up there until the end of this month as I had said.

Finally got my computer to work (for the past few days, it has said that i'm not online while i'm im-ing my friends). Listened to your song.
Call me dum, but I kind of like "the candle"
I dunno, I'm just special, tho

after fully looking into the grammer and stuff, I decided that I'm going to call it "Instinctus et firmo" - Inspire and Strengthen
