The True Smile
Today was the day I was waiting for since a year. It was finally time to show my skills to an examiner from the United Kingdom. I was not nervous, I don't know why. It was just another exam for me. The examiner did not look any different from the other Trinity examiners. I was giving the Trinity Rock and Pop guitar examination - Grade 5. I entered the building where the exam was to be held more than half an hour early, with the intention to warm up on the guitar. I met a friend there, who was also waiting to be called in. Sure enough, just a few minutes after I came he was called in. He was giving the Grade 6. I showed the assistant waiting in the same room as me my hall ticket and photo ID. Then I removed my guitar to practice. It was only 15:10, whereas my exam was to be conducted at 15:38. After I moved my hands a few times across the fret-board playing a number of scales, I thought it would be better if I removed everything I needed for the exam out of my bag and keep it...
