well it's been a while... I am getting kind of slack at this...

Anyway, a few things are coming up now. I'm performing at Concert Practice on Thursday, I'm preparing for a competition on the 21st, and to sit my A.Mus.A towards the end of November.

I've also been thinking about what I'm going to do at the end of my course. I found out about a scholarship that I can apply for if I gain entry to one of the four royal music schools in the UK. I think I'm going to go for it. I especially like the Royal College of Music, and the Royal Northern College in Manchester. It'll be hard work for me for the rest of this year and next, and I'll have to apply to start the bachelor course here at WAAPA, just incase I a)don't get in, and b) don't get the scholarship. Unless I get some money, there's no chance I will be able to afford it.

That's it for now - I best get on and do some practice.
