That's the room that I've stepped in twice for drums exam. This time more calm. Exam is something that is long gone in my dictionary, but somehow these few years it came back to me. I survived the 1st, don't know about the 2nd one. Hopefully, fingers crossing everyday and night that I'll get through it.
I was nervous months before the exam knowing that I wasn't prepared for any of this although I knew that it was coming. Somehow after weeks of practicing it did make me more calm and I was practically blank when I went in to perform. I arrived much earlier than needed to sit and wait for my time to come. Sitting there and gazing through the pathway towards Room 19 makes my heart jump a lil' bit and after a while I actually felt sleepy at times. When it's strikes 2pm, I knew that was it, I braved myself to the room and wished the examiners good afternoon and played as they asked me to. Song 4, 10, set pieces and sight reading, minutes passed and I'm done. Well, I thought it's minutes, what seemed to be like 5 minutes in that room was actually 20 minutes in actual. It's kinda like Inception. Not believing it, I even asked the examiner is that it? Expecting something more. Walked outta that room still not believing that what I've feared for months actually ended in that short period of time.
Another fear to come is actually waiting for the results...urgghhh!! another torture.
