Auditions

It's been two days since I last wrote a blog post. That is simply because, for the last 2 days, my days have pretty much been a haze of voices, violins and verisimilitude. Ok, so I'm on the Variety Show committee, which at first made me a bit nervous, as everyone in it is over 2 years older than me. But watching the auditions have been great fun, and I feel totally at ease. My opinions are being taken extremely seriously, which is always good, and we're having a laugh too (not AT the auditionees you understand...no really... Well, moving on...) I'm really chuffed for Becky particularly. Everyone else on the panel kept telling me what an amazingly talented girlfriend I have, and by heck: they're right. Officially I'm not allowed to say yet, but let's just say 3/3 is pretty  incredible.

I watched Derren Brown last night. That was incredible too. I find the psychology of it fascinating, and he is a great showman, very slick. It was good to relax to that from 10-12 last night, because I hadn't stopped properly until that point. The auditions yesterday took me to 7. It comes to something when you leave school after Mr Bacon. Then at 7.30 I had my piano lesson, which I must admit I wasn't looking forward to, but in actual fact was great. Paul says I'm making real progress with my Bach, so the hours I've put into my practice this week have paid off well. Choir was not so good, but still took me till 9.15, and put a strain on my voice that I really don't need right now. But all in all, yesterday was great.

Today I got my Christmas present at last from the lovely Jamie! I know everyone in the whole world but me already knew this, but it's a mandolin case, which I've been needing for ages. I felt ultra cool walking around school with that in my hand today (though admittedly minus the actual mandolin...)

Becky could not be a more wonderful person. Can you love someone too much? I hope not, because if you could, I would have a problem. Not only is she the best person ever; she is amazingly talented at everything, from music to dancing to languages. I can't see myself without her at all.

That's all for tonight, and frankly, I'm tired. I'll find something to blog about tomorrow - I always do. x
