Testing... testing

Today was the first time I've ever played in a string ensemble in front of an audience and I'd have to say it was fun. We had to wait for an hour in the frigid hall where I got so cold that my teeth were chattering by the time we got on stage. But we got to sit up front for the show. It was the college's Chinese New Year function and we played some chinese song and two movements from Mozart's Eine Kleine Nahctmusik. It went better than expected. I think I only managed to play 70% of the piece. I was lost during the other 30%. But I consider that good because the piece is way above my level and everyone there was more experienced and skilled than me. Surprisingly, I didn't panic from stagefright like I always do. *whew*

Had to have lunch alone because all my friends had already eaten while I was busy performing. So I ate Indian food. I wouldn't usually eat there because my friends are all misers. Not that that's bad or anything. Just that I get tired of eaten the same every single day. ;)

Then our class had our first further maths test. The paper wasn't as vicious as I had expected or felt during the test. I panicked though (I knew I should have panicked earlier in the day ) and it took me a while to start thinking again. I don't really feel bad though I didn't finish the paper because even lots of smarter ones didn't. On reflection, I knew how to do the questions but my panic wasted precious time and made me all muddled. Must have irritated Hehn (he st beside me) to death with all my "shit shit shit!". *blush* I'm hoping for 50%. =)

I feel liberated because I have a driving test tomorrow and it means that I get to skip college. But at the same time, I'm wishing that I didn't have to miss it. Oh well, that's life. (My very shallow and uninteresting life at any rate)
