"OH GOD, OH GOD, OH GOD- TAKE YOUR TIME, WILL YOU?!" I shriek, impatiently dancing on the spot as I awaited the last few drops of coffee to drip into the maroon red flask, which seemed to take several hundred years to finish. Not only was my coffee running late, but I was as well.

I'm usually a very light sleeper, but when I pull all-nighters, I'm knocked out cold. I had also noticed that my roommate was gone, in which she probably left the dorm thinking that I had already left before her. She, however, was the one who was actually remotely prepared, unlike myself; and that made me seriously wonder why I was still in the comfort of my own home, screaming at an inanimate object to work faster.

Well technically, I wasn't late; it was more of a 'I need to arrive earlier than everyone else for the first day in order to get to a practice room, because I completely forgot about that email I got a few weeks back from my future professor, who said that everyone in his class that he had listed had to either select/create a piece to perform by themselves, or if someone is a composer, and is unable to play an instrument, meet and pair up with someone else, and have one person compose the piece, while the other performs it, in which the grades we get for the performance and piece will determine what groups we'll be put in for the next few weeks; the more complex the piece, the higher the grade' kind of thing, you know?

Our professor essentially played us, because pairing up would have been near impossible, as most of us hadn't met anyone in the class yet, but luckily, my roommate and I have been best friends since we were kids, and we were going to be in the same class, so that was lucky.

Because my roommate can't play an instrument, but is scarily good at composing, we decided to pair up; she'd compose the piece, while I played it on the violin/piano, depending on which sounded better.

I had run through it once with both instruments, and came to the conclusion that the violin part sounded better for this piece, but I never really practiced it thoroughly, since I was shamelessly busy messing around with my compositions, and I had started playing anime openings on the piano, since the piano was my main instrument.

These kind of things are why I have come to hate Monday mornings. No- scrap that, I have always hated everyday. I had stayed wide awake the night prior as well, pulling an all-nighter in order to finish and submit the music evaluation power-point we were also assigned to do over the Summer to the professor, and as a result, it was morning before I knew it, and I had no time to practice the piece again.

Insomnia wouldn't let me sleep either, so whether or not I actually slept didn't exactly matter. I know, procrastination is my second name, and I'm thoroughly proud of myself.

Till this very day, I still pondered the thought of why the bloody hell I decided to take the entrance exam to get into Karanejizawa Academy- an extremely competitive music university- and how the bloody hell I managed to get in. It was only going to be the first day in, and I was probably going to fluke one of the most important assessed performances of my life.

And to top it all off, this was going to be the first time everyone in the class was to perform in front of the rest of the class. First impressions, in other words.

Boy, being unprepared and having to perform a piece that'll act as a first impression to everyone: the full, complete package, I might add.

Goddammit, I'm a complete and utter idiot.

At long last, the coffee finished pouring, and my hands fumbled to grasp onto the lid, and hastily screw it on. My black violin case was propped in front of the door, as were my folders, filled with hundreds of sheet music. Swiftly adjusting my glasses, I snatched up the flask, shoved my shoes on, grabbed my backpack and violin, and flew out of the door at inhuman speed.
