Comfort.

So I tried to watch the Rugby today with everyone, they were all getting very excited about it, espescially Dace as she is Welsh. We all went to Oneill's an hour before the game and it was packed! I hate being stood up and surrounded by people! I stayed until it started, watch a bit and then left. I am now home in comfy clothes, in bed eating cheese savouries. Best decision I have ever made. :)

Pow.

Pretty much finished my ensemble essay redemption! I am surrounded by books in the library but hopefully it will pass! I only needed 4 more percent, so if I don't pass I am more retarded than I thought..
It's very sunny here, it looks warm outside but think it's still cold. I want to go eat something outside in the sun :)
I am extremely skint atm, until the money from yesterday's performance goes in my bank, which should be £55. Most of that will go on a phone bill though, eek a leek! Noodles it is!
I am gonna have more time to take photos and stuff recently, so these won't be boring posts all the time, promise!

Good things.

Recently I got back in touch properly with my oldest friend. We haven't seen each other properly in like 3 years. A major catch up is needed in the summer for sure :)
Today was very exciting and brought more good news. We performed our Shakespeare piece at a school! First paid performance!!! Things are looking up :)

Back on track-ish.

We had a meeting today at Uni regarding  our performance we are going to do at a school on Wednesday, it went well, we sorted out everything we needed. We are rehearsing in 40 minutes, going to do a full run of it :) Quite excited about it now! First paid acting job!
Also got business meetings done. Meeting with the girls tomorrow to discuss what we need to do which is cool.
This stupid essay redemption is doing my head in though.. I cba... I only need like 4 percent! Stupid..
Oh and me and Dacey got emails about our drunken behaviour at Flirt on Friday night hahahahaahhahahahahahaha oopsy.
I updated my calender today so I was a bit more organised! Got business presentation 3rd April, eek. So nearly finished for ever though, scary as that is!
And I can safely say I have learned nothing at Winchester, just lucky that we got this opportunity with The Theatre Royal. The teaching is crap, they have their favourites so we have had to work extra hard. Oh well, we all have our own different acting styles now, and we know what we are doing :)

Procrastination.

Why is it that when I have something really important to do, I always think of other things to do instead of the important thing? Like tidying my room, or painting, or cleaning the house, or internet shopping, or blogging, or going a walk, or eating the whole house....
I have an essay redemption in for Friday and I don't want to do it! Going to uni at the weekend is hard, we live like 25 minute walk from uni, up a lot of hills so it's not a very nice thought, especially when I am in my pjs in a warm house... better crack on with it here.....

Realisation.

I have just realised that now my IP is done, I will not be doing a solo performance for a veery long time, possibly ever! I got a boost of inspirration earlier and I didn't know what to do with it.. I don't think I like this realisation.

Laptop!!

My laptop is worrrking again :) Some of the letteers werent worrking and now they are really over sensitive and don't have the button thing on top, i ripped thm off, so 3 in a row just have the nipple bit, slightly annoying. But hey!
Today is a nothing day, I have tidied though, but no work, found out essay is in Friday and not Wednesday so I am like WOO.

Things.

This photo is from a sunny day in winchester :-)  it is infact from the day I finished my ip, I was very happy! Cookies in the sun :-). Mmmm. To celebrate everyone's performances being over we all went to the student union lst night dressed as ducks as it was also gary's 22nd birthday. Was a good way to celebrate nd we all got very drunk :-). I am now attempting to get orgnised and I need to leave to go to uni soon as my laptop is dead and I need to do my essay redemption for Wednesday, I can't fail again because I need a pass to pass this course! When that's dne I will feel a lot more chilled :-). I want pasta.

The little things.

I really do appreciate the small things. Just singing in the kitchen with the housemates makes me smile. Catching eye contact with a stranger whilst you let them pass. Someone saying you look nice. I don't know.. just happy things that help when I am stressed. It's nice to have them :)

productive?

I am scared to leave the library because I will feel unproductive if I do..
Which is stupid because I spend half my time on Facebook! I attempted to read books but I just couldn't find anything I needed!
I did look at the handbook though.. and how they are going to mark us..
It's a bit silly because my performance is site specific and I am not getting into the space until the night before my performance which makes me want to crap my pants.
And this oral exam is stressing me out, I don't know what to say aahhhh!
A more positive note.. we had a meeting with a tutor who has links with local theatres and he thinks we (people who directed and performed merchant of venice for scratch shakespeare competition and won) are ready to tour it, which is so exciting, he thinks we should take it to festivals! So we shall see what happens :) He is going to get back to us I think. :)
I will still move back to Norfolk and hopefully Norwich soon after that, but will travel back to Winchester or wherever to perform :)
The weather looks bleak. I am tired.
I CAN'T LEAVE YET THOUGH. Ergh, I want company.

Casual stalking.

Sitting in the library I realise I always judge people, I don't think this is always a bad thing though.. or is judge is the right word.. I see someone, say a girl.. I study what she wears, what her hair is like.. I figure out if she is in a rush, what she studies, if she has a boyfriend.. the exact same for pretty much everyone I see.. it's even more interesting when you overhear phone call conversations..

Girl in red coat blue dress, rucksack, dyed blonde hair, curvy, wanted a place in library couldn't find one, went downstairs..didn't look like the creative type..

Girl in blue dress grey coat, umbrella boots and bag, looked italian/spanish.. quite clever.. def. not creative type, but possible dancer?

Guy orange hoodie jeans and ben sherman bag, sporty?

Wow I look like a stalker.

Livid!

So I wake up early, to get to my studio which I have booked from 9 til 10. I get in there, have been  in there about half an hour and then some girl comes in saying she is teaching in an hour and needs to set up so I am like okay.. I see her put her bag down and go. I carry on with what I am doing thinking she has set up, and won't be back until I am out. She then comes in again with a coffee, and starts going through a dance in the corner. I pack up all my stuff and leave. It's just rude.. I had the room booked, she should have booked one or waited! I have my IP on MONDAY, MONDAY! I only have the weekend left! It isn't fair! I have a lot to do..

On a good note.. I did get to go through it all.. what I have so far is like 15 minutes.. I have to act the audience's secrets out too and that will be atleast 10 minutes.. also I didn't do it properly.. a bit slack.. because I was worried someone could see me at the window at the top.. tomorrow and Saturday I really need to do it all properly and know what I am doing.
I was going to have a desk but as I can't get hold of one I guess I am not going to have one now.. Also I don't have a basket and I need one! Bummer!
Ahhh stressssss.
Also need to do these stupid programme notes and get ready for my viva voca.
WHY DID I DECIDE TO SIT IN THIS SEAT IN THE LIBRARY IT'S RIGHT NEAR THE ENTRANCE AND IT'S LOUD AND EVERYONE WALKS PAST. oops.
