Failure

How many of you reaing his post have failed at something in your life? Whether it is an important exam (music/educational) or a dream, failure is something which can (and probably will) affect each of us at some point in our lives. For me, that was in fact just last week and I happened to fail both of the above examples. Ever since I joined our local church choir (almost 8 years ago) I have had an ambition to succeed in gaining the Bishop's Award (which is an RSCM silver award eqivilant). I already have the Dean's Award (the level below which you now need before you take the Bishop's Award) and so I took the exam this October for the Bishop's. If I am perfectly honest, I wasn't truly ready as I wasn't secure on the high notes (or any of the notes for that matter) and so becuase I wasn't happy with them my diction went as well. So, you've guessed it - I failed. Except it was by three marks! That's what made it so upsetting for me, it was 3 measly marks that would've been so easy to have got but nevermind. I am going to retake the exam in (hopefully) February next year and I will get a merit!!!

I hope.........

Back to School

Yay! I went back to school last Thursday and I got landed with Biology coursework and homework. Oh well, at least I've done the homework. Then in textiles I got told that the latest we would be starting the pratical is in 2 weeks time. I am nowhere ner that! So all in all it was a very stressful first day back but nevermind - it can only get worse.
Not much else happened.

Holidays!

Woah! I can't believe that I have 1 week left before I have to go back to school and enter year 11. Dun dun dun!! That means that by this time next year I will have my GCSE results. Help. Anyways, enough about the future. I've just come back from Greenbelt which is a christian festival in Cheltnam where I saw Daniel Beddingfield! Before that I had spent 10 days in Perranporth, Cornwall - again for the 12th year running. I love it there and everyone is great so 10 days really goes quickly. When I left I couldn't believe it, it still felt like the first day. It was wierd but cool. I haven't done much this summer holidays really because I had done so much work righ up until I had broken up but never mind. All in all I've had a great summer.

Keep Safe,

Sorry!

Sorry I haven't been writing since my first post but I have been so busy with my coursework and stuff that I just haven't had time but now the summer's here (at last, I'd thought it's never come) I have more time so I should update my blog a bit more often.
Yesterday I wentto the Sound music festival in Verwood and it totally rocked - it was brilliant and I got to see all my mates again before we all start going on holiday so that made it even better. All the bands we saw were brilliant as well.

My first post!!!!!

Yay! My first blog and my first post in my first blog. wow. *dwells in own thoughts for several moments* I owe this all to Bobeth because if it wasn't for her then I wouldn't be writing this on my own blog. *dwells in own thoughs for several moments... again*

Anyways, today hasn't been that interesting really school was averagly normal (apart from Bob and Evil not talking to each other). Drama was probably the most fun thing I did today and I spent most of it off stage waiting for my cue to come on - it sucks playing the lead role sometimes. When I go off again I have to put on a thick and humungous fur coat (it's summer for God's sake) and a beard which does not fit me, how embarrasing! I was only given the part two weeks ago but I already know all my lines and my cue lines, when no-one else has (and they've all had since Easter to learn them). Woooo! Go me! Sorry, got a bit too excited there.

Oh well there's not much more to say now so I'll just diappear for now and I'll try and write soon except I have a ton of coursework to do... that remonds me...

Bye
