We got assigned parts for our group work on one of our modules yesterday. We actually get to do some acting! Finally! Anyway, I got the female lead (we're doing extracts from Webster's "The White Devil" and I got Vittoria) which is awesome. It does however mean some major line learning. We're only doing a ten minute extract but it's the week before ( Read more... )

Hello. I felt the need for one of those  "I'm still alive, this is what I've been up to" posts. Indeed I am still alive, just re-read my journal back as far as 2006; I forgot how many ridiculously funny things happened during my last year at uni. I need to go and re-read 2003-6, cos I'm sure that was even funnier ( Read more... )

1) I'm doing a Masters degree in theatre

2) My Dad calls me Boofie. No idea why.

3) I play the guitar, flute and piano though have never had lessons on any of them. I'm o.k, but definitely nothing ( Read more... )

Tuesdays are a really draining day. Two three hour seminars in one day should simply not be allowed! At least not when the studios are like an oven... Who can sit in a stuffy room for three hours and actually concentrate? Ugh ( Read more... )

I have to write 1,500 words this week. That's really not very many words; it should be easy, right? It's just that I haven't written an academic essay in two years and this is the first time I've had to set my own question. I pretty much know what I want to write about, but I'm not sure how to put it into a proper question, or whether it's what I ( Read more... )

So far today I have done nothing but play music. The fingers on my left hand kinda hurt from all the guitar playing, but in a good way. Like the way they used to hurt at Folkworks when I'd played my fiddle too much. I've also being learning new tunes on my flute. Now I've actually got somehwere to play regularly I'm finding much more motivation; I ( Read more... )

Last night was really nice; went out for dinner and drinks with Sophie, Ed and Rocki. When we went out last week as a whole group, I spent an over an hour in the loo with excrutiating stomach cramps, dry heaving. This time was fine - I laid that ghost to rest I think! No need to feel quite so embarrassed ( Read more... )

There's a bar on campus called Quarks. How unbelievably awesome is that? I nearly died of squee.

Today was intense at uni; my brain just feels wiped. This morning we did an analysis of the narrative techniques in Casablanca which was interesting. Plus, you know, my homework last week was to watch the film. It's worth it just for Ingid Bergman's hats ( Read more... )

I had my first proper shift at work yesterday. It was o.k; I didn't fuck anything up and nobody complained about anything I did. My boss has put me in for shifts when I'm at uni, despite being told explicitly that I cant work certain days. His response? Try to get it covered. If you can't, I expect you to be here. What a twat. I am not missing ( Read more... )
