The Beach

Yesterday was a good day, completely random trip to the beach and it was wonderful. Sun, sand, sea, picnic, magazines and my lovely boyfriend. What more could you need?

Homeward Bound

Deary me it has been a while since I last updated this and seeing as im having a quiet night in this is the perfect opportunity! Well I have fully finished my 3 years at Brookes and no longer have to worry about any assignments and it really is the best feeling :) Im settling back in to life back in Telford although I am missing my Uni friends alot, it's gonna take some time to fully adjust but at the moment I am really as happy as can be.

I havn't started my new job yet because the council are being very slow about sorting documents out so im just biding my time really, but at the same time i am enjoying having some time off! Tomorrow im catching up with one of my oldest friends Jacqui, I havn't seen her in months so were going for lunch then in the evening she is having a Shoe party at her house which im very excited about and hopefully I shall be making some very nice purchases.

I've had a nice day today visiting my sister in Wales she's moving back home on Friday so the Poole residence will be in full swing for the summer :) I love going to visit her and having a wonder around her second home. Today we had a chippy lunch, went for a look around all these lovely boutique shops, a walk by the beach, played on the 2p machines in the arcade and had a drink on the Pier!

Im curled up in bed right now getting some hillarious txts off my friends who are out in Wolves right now but I didn't get back till late so I couldn't join them booooo. BUT there is still Thursday night at Varsity :) xxxxx

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

Special People

I've had a very crummy day today. Mainly because my Uni have once again let me down. I wont go in to details as im hoping things will be sorted soon but I just wanted to express a bit of appreciation to all the beautiful people im lucky to have in my life right now.

Martin Hinsley- Who is just the best boyfriend in the world. Period.

Lucy Baker- For helping to calm me down during my hysterics and taking me out for chinese food and a cute movie. We laughed so much today and that was exactly what I needed. She is a beautiful friend.

Olivia Anderson- Even when were miles apart, as soon as she finds out im upset she's on the phone straight away to talk about it. One of the very few 'best' friends I have who is quite literally a phone call away.

Jade Rankin- Just a sweety with a heart of gold, she's been gone most the week and i've missed her like crazy. She has made me giggle so much tonight and for that I am truly thankful.

Im not sure they will see this or not but even if they dont I just want them to know I love them x

Painting in the sun

Today Kellie, Dan and I met up to start work on some props for our Music Theatre performance. The project is based around a post box and explores the importance of this iconic form of delivery. It's amazing just how much we rely on it really. Letters can be the barer of good and bad news so our aim is to showcase different senarios of how letters can influence us and our lives.

We decided that because it was such a lovely day we just couldn't lock ourselves away in the art studio so we brought all our equipment and got painting, cutting and sticking. It was a very productive and enjoyable day, more of which id like to have before I finish...which is in less then a month :|. Im going shopping tomorrow for a few more bits and pieces we need to gather before the performance on Wednesday and I really need to learn my monologue too. Im looking forward to showcasing it but will be quite sad after it's all done. Purely because this has been one of the most enjoyable modules I've had in my entire 3 years at University. But hey, I guess all good things have to come to an end at some point.

Easter break done!

I havn't blogged in a while mainly due to the fact that i've had a very fun filled easter break, perhaps the best easter i've had in soooo long. I wont write a major essay but will just sum up in a few points as to what i've been up to over the past week and a bit :)
