Descartes has melted my brain.

Quite literally.

Today's workshop in Drama was my first foray into Philosophy. And I am currently incapacitated while my brain still recovers from the whole damn thing. Somehow though, I have enough ability to update my blog, as I said I would.

So, this week - one of catching up on work and the like, trying to get the right balance between my work and my social life. It's something I think is really important - too much work and you become detached from everyone and fitting in with groups will be tough. Too much fun and you'll drop out at Christmas, simple as that. But get it all right and uni will be the best three years or so of your life. It's probably the best piece of advice I could give to anyone who's looking at going to uni, and one I have been telling all the prospective Fresher's coming on Open Days. And with me being a believer in practicing what you preach, if I'm not keeping on top of it myself then I feel like a bit of a hypocrite. Thankfully, I'm there, more or less: Notes to write up over the weekend and a soundtrack to complete, and I'm done.

I am also down to direct my first ever drama piece! It's called 'For the Greater Good of God', and will be a part of the Drama Society's Armistice Showcase. Its about a soldier, on the front line in a holy war, who is questioning whether he has made the right move in going to war, whether it IS actually God at the centre of all this or the Devil, and asking for guidance from someone. And, surprise surprise - it's been adapted from an Iron Maiden song. Video below:

Yeah, seems a pretty long piece - but it'll be about 5-5 and a half minutes. As it's now a poem, there's going to be no long solo sections or the like. All that's being kept is the intor and outro played on acoustic guitar. I'm looking forward to getting to grips with it.

What else? Oh yeah, I had to call the police again this week! After speaking to them on Saturday regarding my bag, I witnessed the aftermath of a mugging and had the rozzers round mine at half 11 so I could give a statement. I lead a very interesting life, don't I?

Get well soon to my brother as well - the poor guy has glandular fever. You've now got half term to rest it off buddy, make the most of it.

Right, I'm going to get things sorted regarding Movember - the fundraising event to grow a moustache for the whole of November to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer. I have the Drama guys involved (and two females!) so it should be a laugh.
