97 days

It has been 97 days since school started and I have been tuning every single day...........
I AM SO GLAD TUNING TEST IS OVER AND I AM NOT GOING TO TOUCH MY TUNING HAMMER OR TURN A TUNING PIN FOR THE NEXT WEEK!
I hope I don't lose it all when I'm back......................
Today we had a written test and our tuning test. The written test wasn't the best, like there were only 11 questions and I have like.... 3 wrong already? Haha! The last question was for us to draw the upright action model and label all the parts. With the instruction given that it has to be able to function! And that we wouldn't be marked on drawing skills haha! I do agree that to have us reproduce the model from nothing is the most perfect way to test our understanding. But it was rather funny to draw it out and funny to hear how we miss different things out! If my action was reproduced, the piano wouldn't damp because I left out the damper spring! A couple of others left out the hammer rest rail. And Stephen's piano would just go "thud" because he didn't draw the damper spoon - it lifts the dampers off when the key is depressed. But since he drew "the circle" (damper pedal lift rod), he could press the pedal and be able to play haha!
I feel like such a weight is off my shoulders because the tuning test is over and our project pianos have been marked! I know I'll miss the class though - having piano jokes that only techs understand. I hope we all keep in contact/share stories together!

| HAHA! That tickled me lots! |
And today was the first weekday (non public holiday to account for Thanksgiving) since 97 days ago that we didn't have to be in school at 8am!!!!!!! Felt sooooo weird........ Tomorrow is later too as well! Yippie!
I haven't been training hard and it wasn't till I swam yesterday that I realised how TUBBY I AM!
Ok, I did feel that my face was getting chubbier, like when I wash my face.
My tummy wasn't growing THAT fat. Jeans felt a little tighter.
Weighing scale didn't say any much different.
But it wasn't till I was trying to put on my swimming costume - first time in more than 2 months, that I found out all the fats have been storing at MY BUTT!
I hope Wennie likes a chubby butt.........................................
I had reasons for not swimming though - like all the massacres to the different fingers and then having my thing and then being so busy/tired in school.
Ok, I was lazy.
I have decided I need to take a refresher course in Monster School again!
We'll see how things go but it'll definitely be nice to have friends to do it with :(
And the swimming pool doesn't feel so cold when it's colder outside!
And I think I'm getting used to the cold!
Looking forward to the days ahead! I'm getting out of London for the first time since 105 days ago! Woohoo!
