This Is Where I Am Now

This is where I am now – sitting in a park down the road from my house hoping for a bit of peace and quiet. For the last few years this is where I’ve gone to study for exams and relax when things got a bit stressful. But, from here, I completed my application for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland; the scary, foreboding institution in which I now find myself. But also one that I can look on with hope, excitement, and enthusiasm. Let’s get started.
