Keys On The Back Of The Exam Paper

Here I am sitting in an exam room, finished the exams and even gave my answer sheet to the attending professor, but I wasn't allowed to leave, why? For certainly unknown reasons, so I flipped the questions paper and starting writing, about how I was spending my past hour, trying not to let it go to waste, here is what I did:

I imagined myself in front of keys, I don't know whether they belonged to a grand piano or a simple keyboard, but here I imagined no one and nothing but me and the keys, I started to play that simple training I used to start to warm up with, I started with my right hand, POC, then with my left hand which was…. Well it wasn’t that easy, then I tried both hands together, which turned out to be a total chaos, each finger was in a place other than where it should be, so I started slowly again to play but with more focus on each finger, playing with a very slow tempo, till I managed to play with both hands the exercise with an acceptable speed, during all that training, I thinking the attending professor was trying to figure out what I was doing =D

Then I started to think about how much I wanted to excel at playing the piano, and how I was close to be good at it, then I gave that dream away, for many reasons, I didn’t know that postponing that dream -- that idea of me playing all day long on a piano – had it’s price, now I’m rusty, and if I decide to play again, it will take longer time, and more effort. It made me wish that I’d given up on that dream of mine, and it made me also think about how many things I wanted to do but postponed till I will do them no more.

Dreams are not to be postponed; they are to be realized as soon as possible
