Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

So it's been three days since my last post, and I though I should probably update.

I've been very busy the past few days with revising for my Intro to MT exam (which is tomorrow). My problem is the questions are very generic and could be interpreted and explained in a million different ways...but oh well. I'll get there.

Monday was Christmas pub quiz night. We came third. Again.

Sigh.

It was good fun though. We all got a 50p mince pie each and answered questions like who sang whatever line from Do They Know It's Christmas? in all three versions of Band Aid.

Yesterday was spent revising, except in the evening when I felt a bit funny. So I didn't go to the Christmas party at the SU but instead watched Oklahoma! (ohmygod HUGH JACKMAN), The Nightmare Before Christmas and part of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, before going to bed and having an early night.

And today was VOCAL ASSESSMENT DAY.

My group was at 2pm and I was going to sing MY BROTHER LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO (from Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens) and WHAT MORE DO I NEED (from Marry Me A Little)...but I changed my mind.

At 11.30am this morning.

I didn't know the words to WHAT MORE DO I NEED, and I didn't like how I was doing it AT ALL, so I swapped to WISHING YOU WERE SOMEHOW HERE AGAIN (from Phantom of the Opera). I'm actually very happy with how it came out.

Danny and Ben and Sam and Dom and Harlie were all AMAZING and lucky me got to be last one to sing...Just build up the pressure why don't you!

And then when we came out...IT WAS SNOWING. Cue girly shrieks with Dom and Anna and Kirsty!!! It was quite pathetic snow. That sleet-y, rain-y snow that isn't really snow but actually is. But still...

SNOW!!!

It made me very happy.

Kinda makes up for the freezing temperatures and losing one glove so my hands were numb from the cold...

And now I'm gonna go do some more revision before dinner.

Ho ho ho!

Rock on,

Sugar High

As the title would suggest, I am on a bit of a sugar high.

I was hyper enough already because, after a long tiring day of rehearsals of Sweeney Todd and Hired Man, Maria (our director) let us finish half an hour early (!!!)

Then Rosie and Shivers and I went straight to pub quiz at the SU (which we came second in AGAIN by the way!!!) and I had a pint of coke. And then Rosie and I went and got (what was left of) our B&Js ice-cream and I finished that. And then I had another pint of coke with the quiz Shivers owed me.

Plus, the mystery round was Disney songs. Which just sent me over the edge. I feel a little bit drunk.

Drunk on sugar...is that possible?

Rehearsals for the assessment are going good. I think it will be fine for Wednesday. Not too keen about the idea of the second years coming to watch though! And I really really wish I'd been put in the Beggar's Opera group. They seem to have so much more fun than we do in Hired Man...

Maybe it's the whole "we're drunk prostitutes" thing...

And now I'm gonna go finish skyping my boyfriend and then sleep for hours and hours before I have to get up and rehearse "Here us coming o' running" again...

Rock on,

Just Life...

Just back from our last acting session of the term. Interesting. We had a hot-seat interview session where we had to answer questions as a member of our family. I did Ches. It would have gone a lot better if Drou and Harlie and Andy and Rosie hadn't gotten the giggles over my hair. Because Ches pushes her back from her face A LOT. So I did too. Except I've got a short fringe. So I just looked like a turkey...

I've had a few boring days really. Had the most intense body conditioning session EVER on Monday morning...IT BURNED. A lot. We learnt RHYTHM OF LIFE from Sweet Charity in the afternoon. It was good. Weird and a little bit random. And VERY HIGH FOR THE SOPRANOS. But good.

AND WE CAME SECOND IN THE PUB QUIZ! That may not mean much to you guys but ohmygod is it a big deal for us. We've been last or before-last for the past 3 weeks... The mystery round was musicals which is always fun cos our team consists of MT students and a singing teacher (Zoe, Tom's girlfriend).

Yesterday I got told off for going to breakfast in my PJs. Apparently it's not allowed. Health and Safety regulations. AGAIN. People are getting way too anal about this sort of thing nowadays...

I love tap dancing. It's one of my favourite classes. And yesterday I learnt triple timesteps! (Check out the updated list of stuff I've learnt at uni). The problem is I can't seem to stop doing them. And tap springs. And shuffles. Just non-stop. Whenever I'm standing around waiting for people. I just start tapping...Is that bad?

What else happened?

We had an interesting conversation at dinner yesterday. I swear they get more random every day...This one was about pineapple rings.

So yeah. Time to go do that musical timeline...

Rock on,

PS. Going to watch the MT second years in OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR with Sam tonight, and then joining the girls for the Girls Only Ann Summers Party at the SU!!! Fun times!
