Saturday Morning Maths

6:30am is no time for a 15 year old boy to be awake on a Saturday morning, let me just say that.

But i was this morning, due to this maths class at school.

I just lay in bed after my alarm went off thinking "What did i do to deserve this?" The answer : I failed my prelim.

But to wake myself up i listened to Rage Against the Machine really loudly, then had a shower then a bottle of Lucozade just before i went out the door and i was actually feeling ok.

That's what i was not looking forward to - being tired. Class is just an absolute no when you're feeling tired so, feeling alive enough made it better than i had anticipated.

I was expecting there to be nobody i knew there but there was a good few people, Freddie was there too but i didn't really get the chance to talk to him as he was at the other side of the room for the 3 hour duration but i at least got to sit next to someone i was friendly with and could work together with too.

That's what probably made the class better, not feeling tired and sitting with someone i get on with.

And the teacher made things better too, i prefer his teaching methods to that of my normal teacher and the way he does stuff just got through to me better.

It wasn't a complete waste of time, far from it.
So i'll be looking forward to it a bit more next time (as much as somebody can look forward to maths on a Saturday morning)


Just going to the class tho isn't enough, i need to do other studying and i will.
The fact that i will have to re-do maths next year if i fail the exam has made me determined to pass it.


Cheers guys,
Rowan

Guitar Exam

Hey guys, just a quick post to let you know that the guitar exam today went well.

It wasn't as plain sailing as the bass exam but i can't complain, i never expected it to be.

Just like the bass setup, i played one song all the way through, which went without any glitches.
Then play my two other pieces about halfway through.
First one was fine, on the 2nd one i made a few errors although it's pretty much the only errors i made in both of the exams so i don't think there's anything to worry about.

I wish i could say that i had results for you but.....they won't come back until August, when i get all my exam results in the one go.
These two practical exams count towards our final mark which is why we don't get them back yet.

Apart from that, today was the usual Thursday, tough and tiring and i even forgot to bring my guitar home after school *facepalm*
But it's safe is the music store so i can get it tomorrow :P


Cheers,
Rowan


Here is a song i'm currently learning on guitar, it is one of my favourite songs by Wolfmother and is called Tales, or by it's full name, Tales From the Forest of Gnomes.



From what i can gather it's about forgetting all of your regrets, just putting all the bad stuff behind you and looking ahead to the future.....
It's a real feel good song anyway, and never fails to cheer me up :)


And here's a pic of my guitar.
