Stress, stress and more stress

...basically a lot of stress.

I have just got off the phone to my sister. She talks sense. I have decided to take her advice.

Advice: Plough on. Revise and work hard (but not too hard). Don't think about exams. And think of the nice long holiday that is coming up. AND READING FESTIVAL!!!!!!

Today, I finished my last piece of controlled assessment for German. It was a German writing. I think it went well. I have no problems at all with German in general, and I find German writing particularly easy. Now I have done all my controlled assessment. Or at least, I have enough assessments to submit for each subject. Although I have been told I will get a decent A* grade in my music recordings, I would like to rerecord both the solo (Our Evenings, from On an Overgrown Path, by Janáček) and the duet I played with Sizz (The Capriol Suite, by Peter Warlock). But hey, if I don't get round to it, at least I have something half-decent to submit.

Now all I need to do is concentrate on exams. And of course, English coursework *shoots self*. Actually, for once, the English coursework isn't going too badly. Although, I still have a lot of work to do, it's not a depressingly endless task, with a first draft that is so dreadfully written, and with red marks all over it for corrections, that I end up wallowing in self pity rather than actually getting on with it.

And Mother's Day is coming up. I have got my mum some really nice presents. I won't tell you about them just yet, just in case a certain someone reads this. Mum, if you read this...you are going to LOVE your presents.

Auf Wiedersehen!
