Songs of Innocence and Experience

The One Act Play Festival is now over. No more rehearsals, no more scripts, no more 'Fuck, line?' ... it's a bitter-sweet feeling really. It was great fun though. A very interesting character and a difficult one too, as all the judges pointed out, but they said that I managed to really pull it off and I gave a good performance. My downfall was that I'm "too generous with the stage". Apparently I don't take enough of the spotlight when I can and let my fellow cast members shine. I also need to work on 'cheating' dialogues by facing forward even when speaking to the person next to me, because otherwise I'm constantly in profile. So, all in all, I got some good tips and great words of advice and encouragement.

Tomorrow I have my first Economics lesson! Today I went and bought two pencils and three pens (a blue, a red and a green). I love stationery! :) I still had stationery left over from last year, still in my pencil case (well make up case from Body Shop that I bought to use as a pencil case cos it's pretty) so I've prepared that and my notebook, with the frame of mind that everything is going to be really neat and tidy... come December, that might change! But you have to start off with a positive attitude.

After my lesson I have an end-of-summer pool party/BBQ - I have to take the sausages.
