University!

Hello everyone! :)

 

Now, i'm not dead (as some people have been led to believe :P). I'm in fact very much alive.

 

More alive than I ever have been. Ever since the meeting in August, i've been feeling more... appreciative of myself. I have a horrible fear of embarassment and I realised that I could be myself. Then university came along and i found out not everyone is out to spite or hate me. Some people are genuinely there to care and be a friend. Before coming to uni, i never really had any true friends. Only people that would pick on my faults or just generally not be very nice...

 

I moved to university in September. I'm studying English and Theatre Studies (with creative writing being a major part of some of my modules). Now i had issues with my landlord (which i'm yet to sort out) but i have my own little flat with four other people and my own double bedroom <3 with a HUGE ensuite bathroom. So happy about that.

 

I'm also on a direct train link to pretty much anywhere :P Bedford is one of those stations that is very connected or I am about 20 minutes away from an exchange.

 

Now, I will admit that I was afraid. I was incredibly scared. One person I'd want to thank is Kiltie. He talked me through things and made sure I stayed calm and tends to listen alot with my issues :P GO YOU :)

 

I miss everyone here, I really do. But when you have an exam, a performance and two assignments due in the same two week period, its a bit much.

 

I had a bit of a breakdown this week, I couldn't cope with the workload and was ill because of it. But i've re-assessed my life and I feel much better now. i'm going to have a whole week where I don't stress!

 

I got two A+'s in the performance and the first assignment (both for drama) i get my result for the exam tommorow (english) and i'm using my mitigating circumstances for the second assignment. I've got dyspraxia so i qualify for a 2 week extension on every assignment. Which is a nice feeling also.

 

So guys, i'm never ignoring you. If you want to speak to me, email or pm me and I will get back to you! :)

 

Writing :) I've written my anthology (thanks to Lugh giving me a good kick) and i'm also about 3/4's of the way through Woman's Game 2. My aim is to have that text finished by December. Then I will continue my secrets can kill anthology entry :) Which is great! :D Not able to do nano this year just cuz of all the november deadlines :)

 

Theatre :) I am also starting up my own theatre company with the assistance of my personal tutor. She is great. Everyone else thinks she is miserable but she's been nothing but nice to me haha. My lecturer for The Actor in Performance scares the living daylights out of me. Could just be her greek accent... I dunno.

 

So thats me over the last two and a half months. Hope everyone is okay! Would love to be more active here but i just simply don't have the time. But i'm often in chat in the evenings though! :) Rest time...

 

The only time i get to rest these days :P

SO nice to hear from you love. Just remember to take time outs when you need them! I know from personal experience that you can drown with the workload (well I'm still head above the surface too, but just barely :P ).

 

Keep going and enjoy life!

Great to hear from you. University does take some adjusting. Keep your feet on the ground and don't be scared of what's in front. For many people these are the best years in life. Find the time and the peace of mind to enjoy them :)
