Mid Year Exam (Part 2)
Before I forget everything, let me write everything that happened yesterday down.
It was THE day that I’ve been waiting for, for a very very long time. No, I’m not getting married. Geee…. It’s Christmas day! O-HOHOHOHOO! MERRY CHRISTMAS~ No… It’s not about Christmas. It’s my MID YEAR CONDUCTING EXAM DAY! AHHHHHHHH. (Finally to the point). I’m conducting Schuberts’ Unfinished Symphony, that lasts about 12 minutes. Scary eh?
I woke up at 6:45am to Josh Groban’s "Believe" playing on my desktop music alarm. It’s a nice way to wake up to a soft symphont intro and a cute guy with a GREAT SEXY voice singing to you. Then I headed to bath, had to wait approximately 5 minutes before the hot water was ready. Nice to bath early in the morning where you have the whole bathroom to yourself as long as you want.
Then I made breakfast, which consists of fried noodles, eggs, bacons… and everything nice. Lolx. I wore my lacey white short sleeve blouse and my crumpled white high collared shirt with black pants… and on top of it I had a somewhat shiny white scarf tied around my neck. In short, I look great. LOL! Ehehehe…
The conducting exam was held right beside my hostel. Just a turn round the corner and TADAAAA… It’s the pathway to your greatest nightmare and fear. (spooky music background). THIS time, I kept my wand… I mean, baton, at my side ALL the time. Just in case some freaky high school student would wander around and steal it. Lol. I was the fourth one to take the exam.
HuangYi was the second one, and I had a good chance to enter the room of hell (conducting room 01) before my name was called because I was playing the 1st piano for HuangYi. And I got to peek who was the examinors… lucky us, there wasn’t as many as expected. A lot of teachers didn’t turn up… INCLUDING my DARLING CONDUCTING teacher. Which, made me rather sad and dissapointed because I really really wish he was there for me. And, he promised to be there… I wonder what caught him up. (Later on I found out that he was suffering from some massive stomach ache)
I boarded the platform and started my piece, surprised that my hand wasn’t shaking. Yet I couldn’t quite bring Schubert into his piece. My mind was wandering too much around, worried about things I shouldn’t be worrying. It wasn’t my 100%… as I felt I could’ve gave more. Well, I’ll hope for a better performance next time.
In the afternoon, I sang beethoven 9th Symphony’s choir and solo parts for MaDing . It was very fun… hope I have the chance to conduct that in the future. Now it hass all ended, I can happily (yea right) concentrate on my other exams…
