Oh Merlin Series 2, I doth love thee more every episode! This epiosde was amazing, as always, I won't go into details but this series is immense. Loveage.
And I don't really know why, but today I started looking at my options for after my undergraduate studies (I figure I'll have to start applying in a year or so, so might as well start looking!). For those of you that don't know, I am in my first year of a Bachelor's in English and Drama and in the past I've always thought about doing a years PGCE (to become a teacher), taking a gap year and then maybe going on to study Drama Therapy for a few years. But I've really started thinking about stage management as an option. I mean, I've never really been on the side of the line in drama that is 'technical', more the 'perfromance' or 'theory' sides, but I really enjoyed my stint as Deputy Stage Manager last year in a professional (albeit small) theatre. I also am really locing studying 'Contemporary Scene' in drama, which does what it says on the tin really, but we have looked more at 'theory' and 'technical' parts of drama in that module and it really interests me. Which isn't to say I'm going off performing-or English for that matter. But yeah, stage management keeps popping up in my head.I could always do the teaching and then SM. I've looked at MA's in 'Stage Management' and there are only 2 places in the UK that I can do it, and they're both Drama Schools (so hard to get into and generally a bit pompous). One being CSSD in London and the other being RWCD in Cardiff (I'd love to go to Wales and study SM!) I suppose I'll have to get some more experience so that a) I can see if it's really for me and b) to get more experience, to help with applications if I decide that's what I want to do! I'll let you guys know! Sorry for the BLAH.
ADAM LAMBERT'S NEW SINGLE. OMG. LOVE. this is all. (I love AL, go download 'Time For Miracles', when you can)
Just so you guys know- I love uni. I love Pompey. I love being independent. I love being a student! Of course I miss my friends and family, and my hometown, and some things are hard, but I can;t help but feel I'm finally moving on. I love my home, I do, but I think I really got stuck in a rut back at home, I got a bit depressed with my life- mundane and repetitave, but now at uni I finally feel like I'm some way to achieveing my dreams, whatever they may be for that day! (Whether it's SM or Drama Therapy or Acting etc....)
Anyway, you've probably heard enough from moi. I love you guys lots, be safe and love life! :)
