I have my last dissertation meeting on Monday. I'm petrified. I want to ask him how to do everything. I'm scared that I'm going to completely mess this up which will crush me as I think it has the potential to be really good. Bah.
I have become addicted to buying books and dvds from Amazon. That is the thing I'm looking forward to most about finishing uni: Being able to read for pleasure again. I've missed it so much. I can feel my brain rotting from reading only about the construction of childhood, or the UN's ideas on the rights of the child or stupid bloody medical and lay perspectives of health. YUK YUK YUK.
I have bought the entire Eddie Izzard collection on dvd. Happy!! I have also bought a keyboard. It is arriving today. I am far too excited.
Helen and I went to see Equus last night at the Lyceum. I read the play in school and loved it, it's so powerful and not just because of the odd horse-banging content. Unfortunately the casting director decided that Alfie Allen (Lily Allen's brother) would be good in the lead rold. Actually, I think they just wanted someone with a name that people knew. He might be a good actor, but in this, it was just distracting. He seemed to think that to play a person with psychological problems you had to scream every word and act like an obnoxious, retarded 7 year old. Plus I could've lived out my days without seeing his pee-pee thanks.
It's such a shame because everything else was great. The huge wire horse heads with LED eyes worn by the other actors, Simon Callow was brilliant. It's such a hard part to play: combining the disgust any person would feel when confronted with the person who had committed the shocking acts,...but then also the huge sense of jealousy that he feels for the boy, knowing that he has lived, felt passion, and experienced feelings that he can never hope to experience.
Tattoos have pretty much healed! They are perfect.
I'm going home next weekend because my Daddy is home for three weeks, I'm so excited to see him. Sadly, I'm only home for the weekend because I have so much work on, but they're taking me out for my birthday which should be nice, I never really get to spend time with them without my sisters there.
Nothing else of any interest has happened. Work is ruining my life.
