Exam sucked :(
on: June 14, 2013, 05:30:46 PM
I had my exam today and am so ticked off at myself.  I knew two pieces were not up to standard going in, but I also flubbed my List A, which I knew well.  The examiner didn't take time between the last two pieces to make notes so am super worried, especially since one is a really big piece.  Just venting - I had no expectation of getting hounours or top honours because I knew two pieces were not great but had hoped to give a better effort and maybe squeak out a pass on the two.  :P :P :P

Don't worry or stress yourself out that much.  Last month I had an evaluation and I though I bombed it(completely messed up the Bach, Beethoven was a disaster). Turned out, I got a high pass and good comments even though the panel were all strict teachers.  The point is you're probably just over reacting and judging yourself to harshly.  It will be fine.   :)
