Sorry...

November 17, 2006 at 5:36 AM

Sorry I haven't been updating day by day as I said I would be. I've been without internet as we're swapping ISP's and they've kinda stuffed (replace with other expletive here) us around. It's 1:30pm atm and I'm at Uni, my recital is at 4pm. At the moment, I'm fairly relaxed. I know that I'm going to do well, and that all in all, it's not that big a deal. It's not like I'm doing something for the first time, and it's not like my life will be over if it doesn't go well.

Only stress at the moment is that my programs are locked in a room, and the person who I need to see to get them isn't around... but that was half an hour ago, so I'll try again now.

I would post more about what has been happening, but it isn't exactly on my mind. Hopefully we'll have internet access back by Monday, and I'll tell you all how I go.

A balls up like that always happened, exactly the same thing happened with my programs before my final recital in May, but it ending up going well in the end! Have a few jars after and celebrate.

What did you play?
