WOW.
Where to begin?! I’m sorry that I’ve been pretty much non existent for a few months, but my life has been beyond crazy! What with starting my a levels, performing in shows & concerts and visiting New York City, it’s a wonder I’ve had time to breathe! Thank goodness it’s two weeks until the Christmas holidays, after concluding undoubtedly the busiest term of my school career!
I started back at school on the 29th August and began my a levels.
Through September and October I was studying for these as well as rehearsing 12 hours a week for two shows: Les Mis and Animal Farm. I also saw Billy Elliot, which was amazing!
October half term came and I began my English Lit coursework, whilst performing an amazing 6 shows of Les Mis. I then managed to find time to sneak off to NYC for four days with my dad, which was amazing & so so SO beautiful! I saw Newsies on Broadway in the fourth row, which was incredible! There was A LOT more to the trip (including SHOPPING!) than this so hopefully I’ll write a blog post about it when I get a free moment!
At this time, me being me, I’d somehow managed to end up with two jobs! Still not quite sure how I managed that one?! A wee bit stressful to say the least!
With my seasonal job over, and 1 shown down, I then came back to school & before I knew it, we had a fab run in Animal Farm. I felt extremely lucky to be playing Moses! Throughout this, I’ve been busy with regular rehearsals for the Christmas concert which is in a couple of weeks, and even managed a cheeky school trip to see West Side Story! Now the show’s over, and the deadline for one piece of coursework is in two weeks, things are slowing down! Thank goodness! Until the extended essay pressure begins to kick in… At this rate I may get a couple off before Christmas! And I still need to find time to fit in my Christmas shopping…
So yeah. This term has been completely and utterly INSANE, but I wouldn’t have changed it for the world! I’m loving my a levels & now it’s less busy, hopefully I’ll have a little more free time!
A super quick life update, with hopefully more detail to come next time! I’ve read some amazing books recently which hopefully I will get to share here, but until then, I’m done!
