2009's been a strange year so far. It's been one of seemingly constant exam pressure, first for the January ones and most recently for the June ones. My first one of this lot is Pure Maths tomorrow morning and my last one on the 16th is a 2 hour English one that their completely scrapping next year. That one involves reading several texts, commenting on them in various ways we've supposedly been trained up in and then writing a commentary on the commentary we've just written. I don't think the examiners themselves completely understand how that one works either.
Collings and Herring are covering someone's radio show on 6 music this week (yes, their on the proper radio this week, be afraid, be very afraid) and I've a shout out from Andrew Collings after my Dad emailed in and asked him to wish me luck. Apparently, A level exams are easier these days. As if I haven't heard that before. :-)
It has also been a time of musical discovery. Marianne Faithfull, Dusty Springfield, Dana Gillespie, Anne Briggs, Dotti Holmberg, Steeleye Span, Maddy Prior, Martin Carthy, The Pentangle, Bert Jansch, Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny are just a few of the of the bands and solo artists I was aware of before this year. I really want to thank

wytchcroft for pointing me in the direction of both Marianne and Steeleye Span. I don't know where I'd be without such a wonderful friend and so much fantastic music in my life.
Talking of music, guess what I stayed up watching 'till one in the morning with my family.
