Monday - Stage combat in the morning, then Shakespeare in the afternoon. Evening show was an ace performance of Assasins.
Tuesday - Stage combat, then script. Evening off. Aaah.
Wednesday - Stage combat, and Shakespeare. Tutor's evening, which was greatly entertaining.
Thursday - Stage combat, and script again. For script we took a drive out to ocean beach to perform our scenes. This was fun. In the evening it was student's night. This was also fun.
Friday - exhausting full on day of stage combat rehearsals, with tech rehearsal. The evening was the first sharing of work. Reegan with only a guitar for modesty. Breath, ladies.
Saturday - more full on. Heaps of rehearsing and being told a heap of garbage by admin because they seem to think we are all entirely incapable of anything. It was a fun day, but we weren't allowed to watch the show before and after our piece. This is a huge black mark on my week, and really brings down how good the week was. So, we partied on after the show until gone 1am. No wonder I am exhausted.
Today we headed back to school for the final sharing of work. People cried. People left. I am sad. I am exhausted. This blog will hold no interest to anyone. I have written nothing interesting. I am far too tired to be interesting.

Life In Drama School

First full day of NYDS. It was exhausting, full on, fun, extreme, hilarious... any number of cool adjectives.
But first I think I shall update on all the time I have been slack.
Wednesday - I had school. I did the catering at the final night of the show. When I got home I made a cake, finished around midnight, went to bed.
Thursday - last day of school. It was a pretty chilled day. It was Kris's birthday, hence the cake. We had an awesome time, and my cake was complimented. After school I just headed home, relaxed.
Friday - I spent the whole day at home, just relaxing. Really taking a break. I did a jigsaw puzzle, and played oldschool PS games. Bit of Crash Bandicoot and Scooby Doo.
Saturday - Work, then to the NYDS opening ceremony. We were introduced to our tutors and home group classes. Then I met my billet and we came home. My billet is Mia. She seems pretty cool, we are getting on fine. It's a good relationship, I call her a bitch, she tells me not to be mean. It works well.
Today. Right into stage combat. It is great fun, but physical and tiring. I have made some fabulous new friends. Louis, he's my gay guy. Kat, my bisexual boob-grabbing cool chick. We are fairly sure she grabbed my boobs, on camera. We were dancing, at the evening event today, which was a band from Wellington. They were pretty good, and we all had fun dancing crazily, and acting lesbian to get the guys going =O!
I did have one bad thing into the day. Some people I used to be friends with are apparently bitching about me "behind my back" through bebo comments. I am rather pleased I have moved on from that group. They seem to be having misconceptions about me though. Apparently I don't have any friends now (cry cry). What a shame.
Now I am back to a happy high-on-life, chatting to one of my "cyber friends" as they put it, disapprovingly, but in any case, he manages to be a better friend from halfway across the world than they ever could be living in the same town as someone. Oh, the flattery. I'll try not to direct him here, he'll get a big head.
Anyway, I have another full on day ahead of me tomorrow, so best get my sleep.
I will try to keep up this week, but looks busy ahead.

Life In Expense

My life is expensive. On Monday I went shopping with a few friends.
Bus fares - $4
Lunch (Subway) - $8.70
Coffee (Starbucks) - $7.40
Gloves - $12.99
Eyeshadow - $18.99
Total - $52.08
In a whole day shopping, that's nothing. There really wasn't much to be buying. I was primarily looking for a ball dress, I didn't find one I liked for less than the one I had my eye on. Which brings us to Tuesday.
Total - $540
Dress - $540
Earrings - free.
There is also the fact of owing my mother ~$700.
Fine - $333
iPod - $329 (I think)
Jewellery - $40
I then have Sydney, which after parents kindly paying for my flight and accomodation I will have to pay for the shows we see, food, and transport while I'm there. Estimate $1000.
Since we won Sheilah Winn and have to compete in the nationals in Wellington, I have another trips costs to cover. Have not yet negotiated on how much parents will contribute, but estimate my costs at $200.
I also have National Youth Drama School next week, which I'll be paying for a lot of take out food throughout. Estimate $100.
There is the possibilty of some of my ball dress being paid by my mother, so I will owe her however much she won't pay for. I'll estimate at $400 for myself right now.
Sub total - $2452.08
Minus what I already paid, which is only that day shopping.
Final total - $2400
I do not have that much money. Time to save, I think. although the world of wasting money is very tempting, I shall now be rather frugal, on occasions other than those two trips I'm budgeting for, and food through NYDS.
On the point of NYDS, I can't wait for it, but I also can't wait for the break the week after it. By going to drama school I'm instantly losing one week of my two week school holiday. I've been pretty busy lately, I really see myself needing the break.
Now I have to go get an early dinner, before heading out - fundraising for Sydney.
I see this entire year being very busy. Bring on the exhaustion.

Life In Why-Am-I-Doing-This-And-Not-Sleeping.

And the answer to that question is... I haven't been home since yesterday morning when I left for work so I felt the need for an update so as not to abuse this reader-lacking blog.
So. It's been pretty good, all that time, since I last updated, which was of course after that great win on Thursday. Friday was fairly average, with school and stuff. After school I went to a friend's house and we totally had fun, so you're probably jealous. Then I had to return to school to cater for the production in fundraising efforts for Sydney. This was pretty amusing and fun at most stages. Although a certain friend who is male but PMSes worse than anyone I know did annoy the Hell out of me. As he did the next day, and today, as well.
After we were done there I came home, and being pretty exhausted I slept. Yesterday I had work, which was alright, except for the stinking bitch that was covering for one of my work mates. Then there was my supervisor, making jokes about my non-existant sex life. Ahh, what a loveable arsehole he is.
The evening again brought catering for fundraising. Rather amusing. Somehow we ended up talking about microwaving cats and flies (please don't, that is definitely animal cruelty), and weird and dodgy porn. Afterwards we headed back to Charlotte's and hung out for a bit, watching Nick play a pretty amusing game, which had smart cars! For this time he was being an arsehole to me, in an utterly offensive way. Thankfully there was a male with some respect for females there, who, whether he was trying to or not (I'm not sure), kept me happy enough to not beat the shit out of the dickhead.
Today was pretty random and fun. Saw some people I haven't done in a while, although not the people I was planning to see. I still haven't caught up with Barry, so I don't feel entirely accomplished which annoys me. Anyway, we went to see Confessions of a Shopoholic. Dragged Martin along. Guys totally love chick flicks, right? Haha. I did apologise for what we were doing to him before we went in. =]
Oh well. This is possibly the most boring and rambling post I've made, so I am going to shut up now.

Life In Ecstacy

To truly scream with excitement, is truly a wonderful thing.
We are going to Wellington! We won regional best 15 minutes piece, so we are off to the nationals! My whole day has gone rather wonderfully.
I am loving the dictionary definitions for ecstacy, which I looked up to check my spelling.

1.	rapturous delight.

2.	an overpowering emotion or exaltation; a state of sudden, intense feeling.

3.	the frenzy of poetic inspiration.

4.	mental transport or rapture from the contemplation of divine things.

I must say, this is a rapturous delight. We all performed so well, and it was definitely delightful! As we began to yell and scream, exaltation certainly describes the feeling in the air. It was a sudden, intense feeling. In this frenzy I feel poetic. The thought of winning was a contemplation of divine things, and it happened!

So, in ecstacy, was a perfect choice of title for this blog of a quite wonderful night. =D!
