Gotta Take the Good With the Bad

So on Tuesday, i didn't go into school in the morning even though i said i would....

Oops.

But i did go in.....in the afternoon.

I woke and still felt like crap, slightly better but crap overall. Then i had a realisation. All my tests were in the afternoon, so i suggested to my mum if i could just go in for the afternoon so i didn't miss the tests. She didn't like it for some reason but my dad did and so it eventually ended up that way.

I went in and did the 1st part of the maths paper. I thought i would be sitting the one i missed on Monday but i just slotted into doing the same (calculator) test with the rest of the class, which was an annoyance coz i was more prepared for the non-calculator.
But i needn't have worried. The paper was pretty easy, and for me, thats saying something. I answered all the questions and i felt quite good about it, was only the first half but at least i did my best.

Music theory test came after this and it was bareable. Difficult enough but not to the point of impossible.

I don't need to say anything about biology apart from it was crap.


And so, today.

2 tests.

Maths part 2 was the 2nd half of the calculator paper and it was a lot harder than the 1st half. Loads of angles and volumes and triangles and circles.

Ugh.

Think i did ok but i wont get my hopes up yet.

And the media exam which counted for 20% of my final exam result was after lunch. I found out we had to leave english 15 minutes early, that was good, we got an hour to do the paper.
45 minutes just isn't enough and the extra 15 were really helpful.
Still had to write quick but i got to fill in some of the gaps after i finished. Didn't really stop writing at all so i have quite a good feeling about it although analysing the front page of The Sun isn't really anything exciting.


I was so relived when i plonked myself down on the bus after that test. Still got a sore head and i feel quite tired but the only thing i have to worry about now is the other maths paper tomorrow.

So, when got home i thought, due to the majority of my tests out of the way i would play my bass for a bit, some Muse, always cheers me up....



EXCEPT WHEN THE FUCKING NEIGHBOURS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE!!!

Which btw, they've done before.

I hate our neighbous on both sides. We live in a terraced house. 4 houses joined to each other. Pretty small, we're one of the middle houses which sucks coz we're surrounded on all sides.
If we had one of the houses on the end then i could make more noise but as only one wall divides our houses, it alters my bass playing.

That pisses me off greatly.

I'm in the middle of having pretty much the only fun i'll get today then my mum tells me i have to stop.

All coz of our moany neighbours, who, i shall say, i have never got on with and i never will. And the thing is, i've played it louder than i was playing it just there and they haven't said anything....

But getting interrupted like that really puts you on a downer. I'm actually quite angry right now.
I'm quite surprised they can hear anything being that fuckin old but there ya are....


To be honest, the title of this post doesn't really make much sense. Should be more like "Gotta Take the Bad With the Bad" coz this week has been nothing short of awful really.
I've missed tests, missed important school work, been feeling ill and now i can't even....reward myself.

And now i'm probably making everybody else feel bad coz they've got to read about me feeling bad.
Sorry, wasn't quite what i had intended. This post was going to look a lot different up until half an hour ago.

Thank my neighbours.


Cheers,
Rowan


Times like this calls for some loud, angry Rage.

  1. Glad the first maths test went well shame about the other i hope the non calculator goes well. i can still help with maths if you want dont mind. that was a well good idea about only going in in the afternoon. sounds like most of the other tests went well too (well apart brom bio) :)

    Those naighbours sound really annoying. i think if it was me i would have suggested the invest in some ear plugs. would benefit them quite a bit i think. hope that it doesnt happen again or that much as it must be really furstating :S

    Still on the bright side you only have tomorrow and then 2 and a bit weeks off :D hope the rest of the week goes well for you and you do feel better soon

  2. Hi there, Rowan

    Sorry to hear things aren't going well this week; it's good to see you're really making the effort to keep up with as much school stuff as possible.

    The neighbours must really have annoyed you: from all your posts I've seen so far, you come across as a pretty calm and equable person. One probably silly question (from a non-musician): could you plug your guitar into headphones rather than speakers? I guess it wouldn't sound the same, but it might help you get some of the stress out of your system without unwelcome interruptions. Meanwhile, I'm sure you can think of another way to, ermm... reward yourself.

    I hope the Easter holiday gives you a chance to relax and recover, even with the extra maths classes.

    Take care

  3. Aww... Rowan, sorry to hear that you've had such a rough week..{hugs}... I had the same thought as Mark- it would solve the problem, no?
    Sounds like you at least got the worst of the tests behind you, but I'm sure that you're really looking foward to the break...
    Hang in there, kid... you're almost there!! luv, tman<3

  4. Noise, that what I like about my house. If i am the only one home I can turn everything as high as i like and no one says anything about it. He got land all around our house and no one is close by. My Aunt lives in a Condo and she said that she can't get noisy either because everyone will get mad at her in the other places around her.

    I am glad you got to take your tests and you feel good about them. I sucks to be sick i know. I always like the music you show. You always pick the good ones. Love You, Hugs JJ
