Off to Edinburgh
I've never been to Scotland, and I'd hoped the first time I'd go would be with Dan. But due to various complex and not-that-interesting circumstances, I'm off to the Fringe tomorrow! Even better, I'm not paying for any of my transport or accommodation -- hurrah! I'll still have to pay for food, drink and shows, but at least a major chunk has been ( Read more... ) -
Quick post
This is just a quick one from me saying that no, I have not forgotten about LJ again. I am still here and I fully intend to keep posting but, as always, life keeps getting in the way. I had the thought earlier that this would have been the perfect place to chronicle my life at drama school (hell, film adaptations have been made from less). Shame ( Read more... ) -
Creativity
On the advice of redbanana I have been making Christmas presents for this year (women only -- I can't think of anything cool to make that guys might like). My fingers are sore, but I'll say no more than that! I'm really quite pleased with what I've made so far -- if acting doesn't work out then maybe I'll be able to have a back-up trade!
Anyway, time for ( Read more... ) -
December? Really?
My word. I'm now officially allowed to feel Christmassy if I want to! Woo! The very fact that it's December is enough to give me a bit of Christmas spirit... I can even forgive the awful weather now ( Read more... ) -
Soppy time
From you have I been absent in the spring,
When proud-pied April dress'd in all his trim
Hath put a spirit of youth in every thing,
That heavy Saturn laugh'd and leap'd with him.
Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue,
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where ( Read more... ) -
And...
I GOT THE JOB!
Hurrah!
Such a relief. The pay's not brilliant, but at least now I won't feel that sinking sensation everytime I have to buy groceries. I'm looking forward to it actually. I got really quite excited in the interview because the lady was totally selling the position to me. I felt like I really wanted the job as it's so perfect for me:- ( Read more... )

First week in Oxford
So I've been here for a week now and I think I'm settling in nicely. Today's the day when our fifth and final housemate (Yvettte) will be able to move up here, so we're going to have a house roast in here honour! All through the week we've been bonding as a group and having fun, but we have to keep holding ourselves back because we feel guilty ( Read more... ) -
I'm here!
I made it! I have officially moved to Oxford!
I'm currently piggy-backing someone elses network, so I can't promise that I'll be able to get online all the time, but I'm here, I'm safe, and I making this place into a home.
More will follow (with pictures, I'm sure), but for now I'm off to make supper and continue making everything homely :-) -
DONE!!!
I've finished ( Read more... ) -
Sooooo...
It's September already, which means it's getting dangerously close to the submission deadline for my thesis (the 12th!). Thankfully, I've just received an email from my supervisor telling me that my results section reads very well and that nothing really needs changing -- hurrah! That's what I like to hear! Now I can focus on my discussion, ( Read more... )
