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

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!
