My Hectic Life

I turned on my computer so that I could do something relatively productive.  And lo and behold, here I am with a 150g bag of kettle chips writing a blog about me sitting here eating a 150g bag of kettle chips and writing a blog.  I feel this may take quite some time to write as well given every time I have a crisp I feel the need to make sure my hands are clean enough to touch my keyboard.  You would see the irony in this statement if you could see the state of the room I’m currently writing this in. 

So, it’s been quite a while since I last wrote anything.  You must be anxious to find out what’s happening in my life.  I can feel it already.  Well, I have a pretty hectic couple of weeks coming up what with uni deadlines, auditions and a show.  Uni deadline I’m kind of on top of because it’s only 60% of your dissertation you have to hand in.  I’m nearly there, unfortunately, for the person reading the 60%, it is not in any way a good read.  They don’t say it’s meant to be good, just as long as there is 60% there.  BAM!

The audition is an entirely different matter.  I am so unprepared it’s unreal.  Given it’s in six days is not helping with stress levels.  For some reason they feel it’s necessary to hear two monologues, four songs, and a devised piece.  Seriously?  What is the need for that much?  Anyway, I still don’t know one of my monologues (a Shakespearean one at that), I keep flitting between songs that I’m going to sing, which is not conducive to good practice sessions, and I can’t seem to find the devised piece I wrote about three months ago.  So all roads lead to this being an awful audition.  Oh and on a side note, I am on the reserve list for the school I auditioned for in London, very happy about that.  The other problem I have with the audition is that it falls on the same day as our dress rehearsal for Carousel.  This means I have a 9-5 audition (if I’m lucky enough to get a call back) and then dress rehearsal from 7-whenever it finishes.  Long, long day. 

Which leads me nicely onto the joy that is our production of Carousel.  I really do think it’s going to be a good show.  We are looking far better than we did this time last year, given we have managed to get through the whole show twice now, whereas last year we were still unsure of one scene the night before opening night.  Always a good place to be in.  To anyone in Glasgow or East Kilbride area that reads this, make sure you come along - it should be worth the money - which isn’t something I usually say, believe me. 

Well I don’t really have anything else to say to you all.  I feel I have procrastinated for long enough and should really do some proper work.  It may be a long time before I make another post given after the next two weeks I may just go into hibernation.
