Update...

So... Long time no see... I'm sorry, it's just with exams and basically 'excuse my French' crappy Internet service, I haven't really had a chance to post! You know how it can sometimes be!

So here's an update!!! 
I recently (today) had my Grade 5 saxophone alto exam, it was terrible! Pieces were okay but scales and everything else not so much! He asked me to redo one of two of the aurals and don't even get me started on the sight reading (musical term for playing a piece of music you've never seen or played before!

But on the other hand... I was asked to join my schools jazz band on the tenor sax! I went on Tuesday and well.. I LOVED IT!! Here's kinda the size difference.. tenor on the left, alto right! I'm just about tall enought as I don't know if any of you know this but I'm only 5ft 1 1/2 inches.. the 1/2 really does matter!!!

I think the tenor might be the instrument for me.. yes it's more difficult than the alto but it was just so much fun to play!!! So I suggest anyone that plays the sax try out the tenor!!

Now onto other business.. I HAVE A NEW JAM..
Some nights by Fun.. I'm kinda obsessed!

This and + The Ed Sheeran album.. all you need to help you revise.. they literally are just pure bliss to listen to when trying to concentrate on Biology and stuff along those lines!!!

Last weekend I had my 'seminar/taster session' for my Israel tour trip that I'm going on during this summer!!
I'm so exctied for 'tour', 4 weeks away with Jewish people your own age, seeing the sites, camping, climbing mountains and that's only one day!! Unfortunatly it's only offered for those of you who are jewish but.. seriously just do it!
 I'm doing FZY Israel tour and for my special interest week, I have chosen Gadna (Army training!) It's with the real Israeli army and real *ahem* soldiers...!!
 
No matter if you're in the UK, USA or Israel you can go with FZY.. so go now!!!
Its for those in Year 11..!!!
 
That's kinda it for me.. have physics revision to do! Well I'm in the home strech now.. just 15 weeks left (8 of school + 2 week holiday + 5 weeks of exams!)
 
Thanks guys for still sticking with me!!
Love you all xxx
