This is the first time I've had a clear mind in a long time and it's came at the wrong time. Well, actually, I'd say more yesterday than anything. I'm recovering from some kind of super throat infection at the moment and have been put on antibiotics. I've lost about 7lbs since Thursday when this illness really kicked in from not being able to eat because of an uncomfortable pain at the back of my throat and only put back on a small amount from my first meal yesterday.
I was doing alright, starting to feel better until yesterday evening and now the pain when swallowing as returned. It's not as bad, but still sharp. I don't know what I'm annoyed about the most now though. I woke up early this morning because of the pain and eventually ended up listening back to some of my album that I had submitted (it's been graded now and everything) and noticed my track "Disappointment" is missing an entire lead guitar track that I know was recorded and ready at the time, it just somehow got accidentally missed out. It irritates me because I didn't get the best grade for it anyway and I just think that if this was included in the mix of this song like it should have been I might have actually got a better grade as this one little track adds lots of detail and feel to the song, it's a bunch of lead melodies played all the way through and a solo.
More than anything, I can't believe I've only just noticed this now. How could I not notice? Did my brain just assume it was there because I know exactly how it sounds from hearing it so much in the mixing process? Was this a psychoacoustic problem or just a genuine mistake? Either way, whichever it was I'm hella' pissed about it now. If I were less stress I imagine that I would have noticed. Even if including it would have only added me say 5% extra on my grade, even though that wouldn't be enough boost my average to the next tier. I'm gutted and bewildered by how this could have happened.
Never mind. I think I still got a high 2:1 in the end so I suppose I can't complain too much even if it isn't the first class degree that I was aiming for.
