Putting things in Scraps for now since actually finishing things is... taking a while.

Got my violin exam mark...I'm happy, but not too happy. At least it's my first year, so I can definitely say I'll do better next year. 76% with honours standing - I don't know what the honours means and couldn't find out on the rcm examinations site, but hopefully something good. Waiting for the marking form to be put up. I could kick myself for how badly I screwed up the scales/technique stuff relative to the rest. *puts her cheesy "I made MUSIC today!" examinations sticker on her notebook* Positive reinforcement! Yeah!

I think I'm going to be putting up scraps on descriptions of people's emotions...so how they look when they feel a certain way, the feeling itself, etc. Hopefully it might develop my stories so I can get better character sympathy and show a character's emotions better or something. I know what I mean. Do you?

I'm going up to the cottage for about a week starting this Tuesday.

Waiting for my exam results.

I actually did pretty damn well this year marks-wise, considering... And I kicked the ass of at least one history exam, so I'm pleased...although plotting how I can do better next time. Hopefully reading through the ancient history text will somehow help me next year or maybe in the future. *imagines herself at a dinner party: "So that Charlemagne! What a guy! I mean, a surprise titling of emperor by the Pope... Hopefully he didn't say "Holy cow!" *geekish snort-laugh* * Ahh, yes...

Hopefully I'll be busy enough at the cottage to stay out of everyone's hair...and keep them out of mine. Nothing more amusing than shutting Ilanna up in a smallish place with like 5 other people and no computer/violin, personal space, or time alone and timing how long it takes for her to explode. Maybe I'll set a new personal record and last a day. I'm horrible to live with.

Hmm...done rambling and ready to read about William's invasion, fiefs and the middle ages in Europe.
