Heloo, I seem to have had a random urge to write a blog, not really sure why! Never kept a diary, well I did, only wrote in it when I was upset and it was very depressing to read back so I decided to scrap that! I don't plan to that with this though!

Im 18 and doing A levels, I seem to be the only person in the world to not have started them yet! Not that Im complaining, I should probably do some revision at some point, but that can wait!

Next year I'm going to music college, am so excited! I'm a first study classical pianist and can't wait to get stuck in full time, no school to worry about, can just devote all my time to practise/performing/listening/etc. etc! It is my dream to become both a respected performer and teacher(equally, not only teaching or only performing, as either on their own would drive me insane). However, obv. going to music college is going to help in this, but its tough competition, apparently there are 10 million budding pianists in China alone! It sounds very arrogant, but I believe in myself and think I have something extra to give, perhaps a natural raw musicality? Obv. I'm not going to reach international stardom as at 18 I havn't won any major competitions. but I recon I could be known in the music circle...

Have just watched a programme on Darcy Bussel, and feel very inspired! She said that she had got where she has through sheer hard work, and she is an inspiration to watch, absoloutly incredible, how the hell does she do all that twishting and turning?! But I agree, I think if I work very hard and with my limited amount of natural talent I could get somewhere!

I sound quite self centred blabbing on about myself, but I'm 18, unattached and going travelling over Summer, I don't really have anyone else to worry about!

I'm going to a mates party tomorrow, he's off travelling too, but for a year, so its a fair well do! Am quite nervous though, everyone there will be in their 20s, I know a couple of people but not amazingly well! hmm.. will keep you posted! Maybe some nice men??
