Bassoon, essay

Today I had a bassoon lesson. I didn't have one last week coz Bronia was on a training course. I must confess I hadn't practised much since my last lesson. I meant to do some yesterday, but had to write my essay. And I wanted to do some on Sunday, but ended up at Carol's longer than I expected, then I had to play piano at church, so I didn't practise. So I think last time I did any was sometime last week, but can't even recall when!! So that's not a good start. But even so, I went to my lesson and loved every minute of it. Got a bit confused at times when I was reading tenor clef and then changed to bass clef, except I kept misreading it, but hey, it was fun. I'm amazed at how far I've come in about 18 months. To go from nothing to playing Mozart's Bassoon concerto listed as a grade 8 piece in 18 months is very exciting!! It gives me so much joy, makes me feel alive and like I'm acheiving something in life. And Bronia's pleased with my progress, which is fab :-)

Very excited that I finished my essay yesterday. It was becoming such a drag. I just couldn't get into it at all. Ok, so I know child abuse isn't the easiest subject to write about, but I don't ahve any personal problems with it and I had all the information I needed, so I really think it should have been easier to get into! Anywho, it's done now - woohoo!! That means I have one more essay left this module and exam! Very exciting!! Then to decide what module comes next... I think it'll be care, welfare and community which starts in October. Grand :-)

Tomorrow I'm going with Dan to visit Rita. Little worried we'll get lost, but hopefully not!!
