I'm feeling so much better right now - earlier today I had my advanced piano assessment, last one of the year, and I've been stressing so badly over it all - the pieces just didn't seem to stick in my head, it's been causing me so much anxiety and stress: and it didn't help that I had to listen to everyone else in my class go first, because they're all amazing...

BUT, I got up, played my first piece and I played it note perfect, and my teacher was full of praise! I don't even really care that the other 2 pieces were not as perfect, because he seemed so pleased with the first one - so, Panicking OVER.... at least for now, hurrah!

Just thought I'd share that with you all because I'm feeling good about something for a change! :-)
