On Thursday night I finally finished writing my compo on manuscript paper. Whew. Then I was determined to write out the parts by this morning too, so that I could photocopy everything today. It was all going quite well, I finished all the parts except for the piano one by 5 o'clock in the morning. That was when my self-discipline failed me. I decided that I could get a quick shut-eye and wake up at 6.30 to finish the piano part before having breakfast etc and leave for school at 8.30.

I should have known better than to do that. I didn't even remember hearing the alarm clock ring, nor remember switching the alarm off. I was woken up by the postman ringing the door bell. Dunno why but I just jumped out of bed and rushed to answer the door. I'm usually quite bo chap about the door bell ringing, I'd just leave it to my flatmates to open the door. I signed the package for a flatmate, my eyes still quite out of focus from the short period of sleep after staying up through the night. Put the package and letter at the respective flatmates' doors and stumbled back to bed.

The next time I woke up was at 11. Horrors! I was supposed to meet Shuying downstairs between 12 - 1pm cos she's coming back to Birmingham today. Ok, so no time to finish up the piano part and get everything photocopied. So much for trying to settle everything by today. Nevermind! There's always tomorrow! (I know, this is a bad habit... there should never be a tomorrow...)

But all this not-getting-anything-done stuff was probably a blessing in disguise. When I was copying the piano part this afternoon, I spotted a gross amount of careless mistakes and omissions in the conductor's score. Some of it weren't in the piano part even. I suppose I missed them while I was copying the other parts. Guess when you look at it this way, it was fortunate that I didn't decide to just photocopy the completed stuff after being woken up by the postman. Then I would have photocopied all the mistakes. Heh always trying to take the optimistic approach =P

I've finally really completed the compo and sorted out what goes in the portfolio and what needs to be photocopied etc. I just hope there are no more mistakes!!!! Now all I have to worry about is the playthrough on Tuesday. I'm not that scared of my compo sounding horrible, I'm more scared of sight-reading my group member's compos! X(
