All I can say is... I am now Miss Ickle Sarah BMus (Hons)... with a 2:1!!! :D In my year there were no 1sts, and only eight 2:1s. So I'm happy.

Thanks to everyone for an absolutely stunning night last night. One of the best, and an amazing way to celebrate my results.

Ickle Sarah has a big grin on her face. :)

Tomorrow is the day of reckoning.

I have worked towards that day for four years, and now i'm almost there it feels very strange. In 24 hours exactly, I will know what degree I have, something I will have to live with for the rest of my life. Wow.

Wish me luck, I'm going in....

It's the weirdest feeling, knowing that after four years here I have finally finished my degree.

It's also a very very scary feeling.

My recital on Thursday night went really really well - huge thanks to my friends who turned up to watch! I wasn't at all nervous, which was pretty amazing, and I really enjoyed it, despite the studio being far too hot, after 6 recitals that day. I am so so pleased that it went well - I've been working towards that day for almost 3 years, and it actually came off.

It's sad to think that in less than a week I will no longer be a student here at Surrey. I'm very lucky to be set up for the next year - not a lot of people from my course have a job for next year, yet I start mine in just over 2 weeks.

Now all i want to do is concentrate on having a fantastic last week at University. I am going to miss my friends who are leaving so much; it's very sad to think that in a week i won't be able to toddle over to Cathedral Court to visit Ian or just randomly sit in Channie's with various people. I remember back in September when I was in Chancellor's every day, when I was just getting to know the likes of Ian and Adam. This year has, despite the not so small hiccup a few weeks ago, been stunning. I have made some absolutely amazing new friends... I'm a very lucky person.

Scary thought of the day: i finish my degree tomorrow. forever. full stop. My recital is at 8pm (if you want to come... and please do... it's in studio 1 of PATS, entrance by the Twyford field) and after that, I am free freeee freeeeee!

Well, at least until I start being a sabbatical (elect) on June 9th. Whoopee!

Roll on FNO - Toga Party. All I need to do now is dig out that old 2-piece toga I made in October, find some safety pins and raid UniSport for some ivy! I really hope it's a good night. :)

Over the last week I have discovered, with the help of Phil Brown, a brand new band. They're called Evanescence and are absolutely stunning.

One of their songs - My Immortal - has hit me really hard. It is truly amazing.

Last night, whilst drinking with 2 sabbaticals, 2 other sabbatical elects and a lot of random stage crewers and GU2ers, we managed to be kicked out of around 5 campus houses by security!

Pretty damn impressive, i think....

And we're meant to be responsible now?!

I've decided to get sheep out again. Sheep is a gorgous little computer animated... well, sheep.... who wanders around the computer screen doing everything from sleeping to being abducted by aliens.

He provided hours of entertainment for me back in the Autumn - I have quite a funny memory of, during one of Adam's and my numerous msn conversations, suddenly typing - sheep's burst into flames - noooooo! :'( :'(

He is very cute, and has the ability to make me smile even at the worst of times.

Who needs men when you have technology?

Lesson on the week: if you care about someone, tell them.

For a self confessed 'compulsive writer' it has come as rather a shock to feel unable to write about my feelings over the past week or so. The fact is, putting it down in writing just upsets me more, so as opposed to spilling my guts out to various diaries, as I am used to, I've written virtually nothing, with the notable exception of text messages.

I have no idea whether anyone reads this thing or not, but I just wanted to put down how grateful I am to my close friends, who have been absolutely amazing over the last week. I really could not have got through everything without your constant support via text, phone, email, msn, and of course those vital hugs in person. You know who you are, and you've been absolute stars. I really can't thank you enough.

I'm just trying to remember that no matter how bad things get, I am surrounded by some truly amazing people. I am so very lucky.
