I walked so much today. The crazy long walk from the bus station to the gym caused me to wonder whether there was any point in going. But I did. I was too exhausted to use the treadmill so I went on the bike and eliptical, which ended up being a bigger workout than the run would have been. It was REALLY hot today. Fuck.

I got a funny text from a good friend on the bus though: “OMG my bus driver is such a BABE! I felt like such an idiot getting the child fare xD” (she’s not even a child fare anymore, she’s just cheap…. I’m kidding! I love you, darling!) Now MY bus driver was a real babe. Sexy beer belly and luscious silver hair… but when he shouted really mean-like at another driver = total turnoff. =) hahaha!

So so so exhausted, yet it’s quarter to three and I’m not sleeping. I feel guilty for not working on my screenplay at all today. I started watching Private Practice instead. Still watching it now. Nine episodes in one go? Think the only way to describe that is… SAD. My eyes hurt. Bye bye!

I might make a video blog later today… well there’s not much point if I do this haha. I feel too tired and shit to do one anyhow. Perhaps on the weekend after my scene in the film.

It’s my third day of work experience at the Dundee Rep Theatre. Today we learned about the Scottish Dance Theatre, props and stage management. It was way better than Monday and Tuesday! I’m definitely considering joining the dance classes, because it sounds so incredibly cool =D Apart from that, they are really really nice and I’m getting on well with everyone (inc those also doing work experience). I haven’t spent a lot of time at the Byre in St Andrews (just Youth Theatre for a short term and two school productions), but the Rep sounds/looks so much nicer and more professional. One of the ladies there suggested joining THEIR youth theatre hahaha.

I also got my hair cut, so you may see pictures of that soon! But I have to go now…. my best friend is having a fundraiser and I need to leave NOW! AHh!

So I had my drama exam today! It went really well, I think. It helped that the examiner was so nice and we didn’t make any noticable mistakes. Actually…none I don’t think. I did stumble on my second last line on Wednesday night when we had to perform in front of the parents, but I don’t think I did in the exam =D That I can remember, anyway.

And we were actually so lucky, because we were given an improvisation (you get a prompt or theme twenty minutes before the exam to prepare) that was really similar to one we’d practiced with, so we just altered it and basically used the one we had practiced for three hours on the Sunday rehearsal.

Just for your information, we constitutes as my brother and I. I did it with him because I was a grade behind my friends (since I backed out of the Grade 5 exam last year) and didn’t want to do a monologue. I think I worked better with other people that acting by myself. I probably COULD have done some dramatic and sad scene, but… decided not to.

After swimming today, I’ve been so tired =( But I have noticed I’m getting slimmer! These weeks or exercising almost every day are finally paying off! Yay! Although I’m having to deal with my parents telling me if I get any skinnier, I’ll be invisible. It really pisses me off because I know I’m not skinny (and no I’m not one of those morons that is 10 year old girl skinny and denies it), I’m kind of slim but still classify as average. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I want to have the skinny androgynous sorta look. I LIKE that look. Then I can wear badass outfits and look GOOD =)

A lot of you are going to say I sound stupid, but whatthehell..

I feel so relaxed now that most of the exams are over. This is the first day I can just relax and not have to study or be desperate to sleep. I actually expected to sleep in but I was meant to go into the art department at school and then to the hairdressers. None of that happened though because the bus didn’t show up and I wasn’t able to get an appointment for today. Which is really annoying because I haven’t had my hair cut or dyed properly in ages. It feels so messy.

I watched Waking Life this afternoon and it was really good. A lot of people thought Richard Linklater was just trying to create something that seemed philosophical for dumb people. That really annoyed me. I haven’t seen a lot of films similar, but I really enjoyed it. The characters asked a lot of questions I’ve been asking a lot and I was glad to see others thought the same way. Plus I loved that cartoon style, that they also used in A Scanner Darkly.

If you have any movie suggestions that are similar or you just really enjoyed let me know. I like more artsy, independent films but regular ones are good too

I try not to talk about school too much, because I know it’s a boring subject and nothing unordinary. I’m studying for my mock exams and the moment, knowing I should have started at the start of the holidays. I revised loads last time and wasn’t overly happy with my results. They were good enough, but my science results sucked (parents were not pleased) and I’m having to resit them. So when everyone else is finished with their GCSEs, two weeks later I have to do more exams. Yay. I think some others will probably be resitting too, so at least I won’t be the only one. I can’t believe how goddamn awful I did on multiple choice! Pathetic! Haha.

I’ve taken some good pictures in the snow recently. More are over on my deviantart page.

Haven’t been sleeping well and I’m always tired >.< Plus I feel like I haven’t exercised in so long. I was planning on going swimming in the holidays but with Christmas and now studying, it doesn’t seem like I’ll have time. I’d probably go if we lived in the city, but because we’re in the country it’s so much effort to get my mum to take me and pick me up again. Can’t wait till I can drive!

Well I have to get back to my history revision. South Africa, here I come!
