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!!

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!

Writing a play!

So I have started working on a new play, I am co-writing with my amazing friend Katie. We both love to write and we are actors ourselves too so it will be a great collaboration. I guess our aim is to write an amazing play and produce it some day in the near future. It’s something we have both attempted before separately and we realised through a skype chat that maybe it would work if we came together! It’s a project I am completely excited about. This time we are determined to complete it. I guess writing together is a way we can combine ideas, express different viewpoints in one story and a way of motivating each other. Ultimately the point is to bring two different minds to the table and get amazing results. She will be working on it from America and me from London! So it will be interesting.

I will keep you posted!
