I'm blogging from my bed at home in cold, snowy Scotland!
I'm so happy to be home for Christmas, words cannot even describe! Actually getting home was quite a challenge though... the second of my trains to the airport was cancelled, meaning I had to get a replacement bus service, on which I freaked out as I'd convinced myself I'd be late for check in. Of course, I actually got to the airport in plenty of time...
I'd checked in online, so I just had to put my case through the do-it-yourself baggage drop. Stress free, right? Nope. My case was 6kg over the weight limit. They charge £15 per kilogram that you're over. So I end up wearing 3 jumpers at once to get it down to 5kg over, meaning a £75 fine. I figure ok, I'll have to pay this, put my card in - declined. Twice. I check my account, and I have £15. I swear I had £90 in there a few days before, and I had NOT spent anything since... long story short, I called my mum crying in the airport, and my fantastic, supportive parents covered the £75 so I could fly home!
Then of course my flight was delayed about an hour and a half.
And I cried when I we started the descent into Edinburgh.
I really didn't realise how much I missed home until I got back. And now I'm trying to catch up with  and see EVERYONE I've been missing! So far I've seen two friends from the year below, my best friend and her family, and my darling choir friends. Just a few more to go... it's a good thing I've got four weeks!
Wishing everyone reading a merry Christmas (and a happy new year if I don't have a chance to blog before then)!

Since my last post I have turned 18, been punched and kicked in the face (some people need to know their spacing better in dance routines...), seen a student written and produced musical, turned in two assignments, and watched my first Christmas film of the season! (Elf, in case anyone was wondering)
I get to go home in one week and five days, and I can't even express how excited I am, it's been so long since I've been home - almost 3 months! But before that, I've got to finish another 2500 word portfolio, and I have rehearsals every night until Thursday, a Rogers and Hammerstein concert tomorrow night, my voice assessment on Thursday afternoon, then a musical theatre showcase the same night (which may or may not be followed by a night out drinking), and finally a choir concert on Saturday. Which, again, may be followed by a night out. So not too much to be getting on with at all...
At least classes are off for now, meaning that I actually have time to focus on everything. Or alternatively, I have time to watch more TV and procrastinate on facebook. I'll let you work out which one I've been doing...
Typing this has made me feel like I've done work... I think that means it's time for a lunch break!
