This week I’m home in Ireland and It feels really nice to be home! I’ve had a crazy few weeks and so it’s nice to finally just relax away from all of that craziness. I’ve been having home cooking and enjoying the fresh air more than ever! Home is where the heart is!
My name is Gavin, I'm a writer, actor, some time model, photographer and dreamer. I'm here to share my journey, which started in rural Ireland and it has now taken me to Central London. I'm currently here training to be an actor at the London School of Film, Media & Performance, as well as trying my hand at everything else I lay my eye on. I'm an adventurer and I want to take you on my adventure.

Relief and Excitement
I’ve just finished my first essay for uni tonight and I’m so glad I’ve got that out of the way. I can now relax and begin preparing to go home to Ireland next week! I’m so excited I’ll get to go for a little bit as I haven’t been back since I’ve been here. It will be so nice to see my family and friends again and eat some home cooked dinners! I’m also going to be working with Kip Carroll when I’m over there too which I can’t wait to do. I’ve been telling everyone how much I miss Ireland, it’s funny because I’ve only been back here a month and I lived here for 7 months before and I never really missed it the way I miss it now! Other than that the social network just came out and I want to go see that over the weekend as well as going to the theatre hopefully!I will go to bed now because it’s 4.30 and I still have to wake at 7.30 and go to class! Friday is monologue performance! I love that day.
Goodnight!!

Academia
Tonight, I’ve spent writing a 10 hour long essay with no avail. Doesn’t that suck? On the bright side I have made a lot of great notes, read a lot of great synopsis’ of plays and monologues, chosen my monologue and stayed awake until 4am! I have also come to the conclusion to read the Eat Pray Love book by Elizabeth Gilbert. I’ve ordered a tonne of books. I’ve also come across a play called Strife by John Galsworthy which I bought and plan on reading. I’m also interested to see a polish production called T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T. which is being performed over the coming weekend at the Barbican here in London. I hope I can fit all of that in. I’ve also just written a scene for my play which I’ve been working on. I’ve had a long long day and I’m going to go to sleep now and do it all again in another 4 hours!
Goodnight,
Gavin

Volunteering?
So here’s something I’d like to talk about, I’ve always been interesting in volunteering but somehow, haven’t got around to it. I’m not sure why but the thought just refresed in my mind last night and I had a power thought to teach drama as a volunteer abroad. I thought, what a good idea and when I googled it I got lots of results of course. I was on a high, I thought this is perfect. I’m sure volunteering is very rewarding but looking at the costs to volunteer I was shocked. It’s almost like it’s more of a business now and a way to make money than an actual aid. I think these companies targeting young people really have money in mind and not in the right sense. I find it shocking for a month to teach drama to young kids on average it will cost you 1,500 pounds. Is anyone else shocked by this or am I on this alone? I would love to do it, out of the good of my heart but paying 1,500 to volunteer is a bit ridiculous don’t you think? I have a limited knowledge on this and maybe I’m completely off point and not looking in the right places if anyone has any suggestions don’t hesitate to let me know.

My wonderful day
Oh, this morning I did not want to get out of bed.
I had my first assessment interview at my school today. As I’ve just began my training at the London School of Film, Media & Performance for Acting. I got some much needed feedback, which has brightened up my day.
I then went on to the National Theatre to see a production of Danton’s Death by Georg Büchner. The play is set during the French revolution and is the British take on a political feud which ultimately leads to ‘Danton’s death’. The play is quite interesting, although not exactly my cup of tea. I’m in the course of writing a review on it.
I really hate writing essays, it’s probably the most hated thing for me. I love to write but I hate to write for a grade. I put a lot of pressure on myself and get nothing done. Currently I need to read a full play, learn a monologue and write a character analysis to be done by Friday. My progress is next to none and I think I’m writing here as a means of getting away from it.
In other news; I’ve just booked my flights to go home to Ireland for a week and I will be over there next Friday. I’m really happy to get a break!
See u soon!

The here and now
I miss simplicity. lately I’ve been so stressed out, sick and rushed around. Hopefully in two weeks I get to go back home to Ireland and relax for a week. My college has been quite intense lately. I’d like to go to the cinema tonight but there is nothing on other than eat pray love which I’ve been to see twice already! so I’m probably going to spend the night in, alone! make pasta with tuna white sauce and chill! I miss taking photographs and creativity. I think I might get back to writing for my play also. Everything except what I’m supposed to be doing of course.

I know it may be cheesy to be posting Celine Dion videos and you may be wondering why but it’s because I like the music and I grew up listening to it, without choice so I guess that’s mainly the reason why I like it. Oh well, here it is anyways. I promise I’ll end it at two.
