I spend a lot more time over weekends in bed watching American high school movies than I thought I would. When people talk about uni they tend to tell you all the wild drunk stories, rather than mentioning that Netflix will sometimes be your best friend. I personally still have no wild drunk stories - BUT it is now less than two weeks until my 18th birthday! I really can't wait to actually be allowed to go out and have a social life again. As much as I love my halls, spending every night in them is getting a little wearing...
I took a little bit of a knock the other day at musical theatre society - after what I thought were reasonably good auditions I ended up with a very VERY small part in our winter showcase, which is always disappointing. I think I handled it with dignity though... (just kidding, I cried and considered throwing a tantrum.) Still, the show must go on. I'm just hoping to do better when we put on a full musical next semester.
It feels like forever since I saw my friends and family back home, so I can't wait to fly back to Scotland at Christmas - but before that I have a whole load of assessments, performances and coursework! As well as decorating our flat as much as we possibly can without being fined for creating 'fire hazards', watching Christmas films, and going on a few too many nights out. I know I have a lot of work to do, but I am looking forward to the next month and a bit; I'm sure I'll be so busy that it'll fly by and I'll be getting on the plane home before I know it!
