The next chapter

Once again it has been a while since I last blogged and this is purely because alot has been going on since the last time I took some time out to make an update! Well basically, I managed to get two big assignments in and currently have one more to do then thats it. Im free foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :) I guess the biggest news I have going on at the mo is that I had a job interview the other day. I went back to Telford for the day as my interview was at 11.30am Friday morning. The job was for a box office assistant/administrator at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury. I've been wanting to work there ever since I did a work placement there over October and I absolutely loved every minute of it. The people are great, the environment is lovely, the location is stunning and the theatre is brand new!and lucky for me I got the job!!! :) and I didn't even have to wait around that long as I found out at 5pm on the same day so that has made me so happy. I start a week today and I cant wait.

So I guess this means this is my last proper week of being a student living in my own house with the people who have made the past three years worth it all. I'm trying not to think about it too much because I keep getting emotional, it's not really sinking in but i'm sure it will once im back home and bam! it will hit me and it's going to feel very weird. I feel very lucky to have got the opportunity to go straight in to a job straight after Uni because this is something that seems to be quite difficult for A LOT of students to obtain post-university. I feel especially lucky as this is the field of work in which I want to pursue a career and now I have my foot in the door. University has been a bit of a rollercoaster but I have learnt so much from it and I don't regret doing it or moving away. It's shaped me as a person and if anything it has taught me to appreciate the little things. I've had soooooo much fun and I'm going to miss my friends so much but now it's the end of yet another era. It's time to move on to the next stage and quite frankly, im excited :)

Good Morning :)

Well it is currently 7.05 am as I type this, very early indeed but I am wide awake. I've got a few things on my mind which is never a great thing to have when trying to get back to sleep but at least this will set me up for the day...I hope :) Generally since the last time I posted a blog things have some how managed to turn themselves around. I was having some issues with a module I hadn't selected for my course which (if I hadn't of joined at last minute) would have prevented me from graduating in June. However luckily I managed to get on and now have an extended deadline for the coursework which is great.

I did my final performance for Music Theatre Practice and it went as well as I could of hoped. I sang fine and for once I was totally confident when performing my monologue which I was pretty happy about, there were a few techy problems but we knew that was going to occur at some point, but generally the feedback was good and were just waiting on the marks now. All my housemates came down to watch and support aswel which was lovely too :)

This week is going to be another dissertation week where I just lock myself in my room and churn out the essays all three of them! I don't really mind though because technically this is my last ever week of University life......man......I really havn't thought about that till now. Sounds really weird saying it, but im excited.

In other news, i've applied for a theatre job in Shrewsbury at Theatre Severn where I did my work placement over October. I absolutely loved working there and if I get the job it will deffo be a step in the right direction in terms of getting my ideal career on track. The job is for a box office assistant but I will also be able to dable in some marketing and administration aswell as some stewarding too which means free shows =) I love Shrewsbury and the theatre is stunning so if im successful I will be a very happy girly. Fingers crossed!

I've got a great couple of weekends ahead of me, this weekend I have Holli's 21st down in London which is circus themed and the weekend after is Lucy's 21st which we are all pretty stoked about lol I mean I dont think we go a day without talking about it. I really need to sort my GaGa costume out soon but there are just so many designs to choose from. I need to have a serious think and then get on to some serious ebaying.

I'll finish up on this song, absolutely love it and this remix <3
