It's over. The madness of my second year is FINALLY over. I sit here writing this from my family home in Gloucester, able to kick back and relax for the first time in over 3 months. And WOW, it feels good!
Of course, now I'm looking towards next year. In 12 months' time I will have graduated, more or less, and that's a scary prospect. But hopefully I will have everything in order for the years ahead as I go off into the outside world, with nothing more than 21 years of life experience and a BA(Hons) degree in Drama with Creative Writing. My saving grace is that it IS 12 months away still, I have a while to prepare yet.
In other news, two of my cousins are expecting children later this year! They're due on the 10th and 11th October respectively, and with my grandmother turning 80 on the 9th, that makes for a very busy month! What's even better is that the arrival expected on the 11th is in fact twins! Many congratulations to them.
My first gig of this year is on Saturday! I have been waiting for this for the last five months, and you can expect a special review in the wee hours of Sunday morning or the afternoon of that day too - the latter is more likely. All well and good the review will be printed in the university's paper and a shortened 100-word version printed in Metal Hammer magazine. Fingers crossed eh?
What else? Ooh yes, Drama Society things! Well, firstly, more congratulations are in order as we retained our 'Society of the Year' award from the Darts Society and have now won it 3 years out of the last 4, which is a fantastic achievement and now we must look to win it four years in five! Also, I have been chosen to co-direct one of the radio plays due to be recorded in the coming months - we have adapted two of our original writing pieces, 'Into Oblivion' and 'Subject to Requirement', and having performed in the former last year I am very happy to be directing it this time around! Talking of Original Writing, the next Showcase is coming up and I am looking to direct AND act in it, so here's to auditions going well.
Right, I'm going to resume my Pokemon adventure on my phone - get my newly caught Vulpix up to scratch.
