It's been a while...

I actually can't remember the last time I made a blog post (checks date) 22 days ago. Since then, I've done loads of rehearsals, slept a lot and my Dad has even turned a year older. However, today I post another one - it's been a long time!

In a week's time, I will be at home. I am so close to finishing second year it's unreal. Four days of lessons, one essay due in on the 4th, a performance on the 5th, a second essay on the 30th April and I'm done for second year. It's scary too, thinking that this time next year I'll be in my last lessons of uni, ready to face the outside world with nothing more than a degree in Drama with Creative Writing. The good thing is that there is still another year in the middle though haha.

I'm slightly worried about next year, I won't lie. It's a lot more about us as individuals - the year is worth 75% of our final grade, so we all have to do what's best for us. Don't get me wrong, the nature of the course means the support will still be there in an abundance, and we will still be a very close-knit year, but I do have a horrible feeling that it won't be quite the same. Considering that I've only really got to know my year in the last 6 months, I don't want to have to make huge sacrifices in order to push forwards.

Talking of our year, I want to say thank you to all the second year drama students at UWE for the last week. The weather has been gorgeous and I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you out on the sunken lawn chilling, laughing, playing frisbee or football and just generally having a good time. This academic year hasn't been brilliant for me as a whole, but this last week proved to me that you all have my back and are there for me, and I can't praise you enough for that.

I handed in my Creative Writing Portfolio yesterday! Act One of 'The Thin Ice' is completed and Act Two will be written this summer, all well and good. It's loosely based on Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' and in celebration of finishing it I watched the film version for the very first time on Thursday night. Good film as well.

In two Saturday's time I will be heading into the O2 Academy for my first gig of the year! I can't wait! It's the Jagermeister Music Tour and the last night of the tour as well. I'm so excited it's unreal. Seeing Skindred for the second time is going to be excellent.

There is a special blog post coming up in a few minutes time on the big rock story of the week!
