VERY GOOD DAY.
I MADE THE FOURTH ROUND OF RADA.
And best of all, it was this morning, in my house, waking up with Alex in bed after going to see a very good play with him yesterday evening in London. I had had a kind of wild fantasy about staying in a hotel with him but it all got far better. Good dinner. Good play, "Woman in Mind", followed by a good drink. Theatre crossword on the train. Good drive. Followed by terrifying drive in my own car down a one-way road and the wrong way round a roundabout (I shouldn't have ever been let behind a wheel.) And then Alex in my house! Very weird seeing him out of context. Stayed up till 3 talking. Stayed up till 4.30 misbehaving. Then stayed in bed this morning until 11 hugging and talking.
I did not want to open the letter while he was there because I was convinced I hadn't made the next round. And I didn't want to ruin the last hour with him. But parents shouted at me to open it.
AND I'VE MADE THE FOURTH ROUND OF RADA. I.E. THE FINAL ROUND OF THE DRAMA SCHOOL I WOULD KILL TO ATTEND.
And after whooping very briefly with parents, thundered back upstairs, feeling terribly silly, and basically ran into Alex and held onto him for 10 minutes and him saying well done well done into my hair.
And I have a Crucible reunion dinner this evening, so I can talk to people about it and get scared about it. Followed by going back to Alex's house so I don't even have to wait small eternity to see him again. I'm pretty euphoric.
