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.
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.
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!
Some days lack thoughts, It has been one of those days.
I haven’t done a lot today but I did learn something. I was looking around on the internet and noticed how there is a large Irish community in Kilburn, London. There is even a film called County Kilburn. I think that’s quite funny. It’s strange how I’ve lived in London for 7 months and never knew that. As I’m going back to London next week to look for a new place to live I might drop by and see how it is! Normally when you leave your own country your in hopes of new things but It’s always nice to have something around thats familiar and London is a city of many crazy and different things. It’s important to remember that you can take the boy out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the boy.
