Goddamn. I really want my piano exam marks back. The more time goes on, the more I remember messing up things and the less I remember playing well. Surely I didn�t fail. Surely. Surely?

Anyway, I have improved immeasurably since I got a new piano teacher, and that�s what counts. I can actually play things for people, and that�s a first!

BUT WHY DID THE EXAMINER WRITE HARDLY ANYTHING ON MY EXAM REPORT? Yargh! I tried to read what he�d written in the exam, but his writing was just too messy. And it was upside down.

I can�t wait to play a gig in a park on Sunday. It will be fun.
