The Symphonic Jean-Michel Jarre

Yesterday, as I was going to bloody work, I saw that the postman had left me a package. Inside it I found a CD I had pre-ordered ages ago.

It was the limited edition The Symphonic Jean-Michel Jarre, which is meant to be released 02/10/06! I don't know why, for some reason they posted it to me over 2 weeks early!!

The boxset has 2 CDs and a DVD (5.1 mix of the 20 tracks). All the tracks are composed by Jarre but performed by The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. There are some lovely tracks on there, including an excellent rendition of Eldorado.

So, I'm happy.

In other news, my MRCP PACES date has been given. I take the exam on Friday 20/10/06 in Barnet (north London). There are 4 of us taking the exam from Ipswich Hospital, and we've been working our arses off all evening (usually from 5pm to 7pm after work), going round seeing patients and putting ourselves in the exam situation. It sucks, but it's gotta be done.

Last time I did the exam I made a big mistake by focusing on the books, rather than on the bedside experience. This time, I'm correcting my mistakes. Also, I suffered the classical "downhill spiral" syndrome. I was very, very nervous, and convinced that I had fucked up my first station (there are 5), and as such was so flustered and melted because of it I just kept thinking about it and fucking up the remaining 4 stations.
A BIG MISTAKE that costs you the exam (and it's fee!). This time, am gonna go there as cool as ice. I hope.......
