Happy New Year people! Sorry it is 27 days late.
Not blogged since September, and last entry was fairly depressing, again sorry about that. Will try not to depress any more.
Not a lot has happened since September. We had the Panto in December, as usual I was in control of the lighting board, but I also gelled and positioned lights for this one. Could have a massive rant about theatre stuff, but not going to as I would be here for hours. So will finish talking about the theatre.........now.
Other theatre news!!! Not Biggar Theatre Workshop, but The Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. Through a friend of a friend of my mums, I decided to ask the technical manager if there was any chance of work experience. I got an email back saying I could go in and shadow one of their technicians. I was quite chuffed. As I was focused on Panto, he said I should contact him when we were done. But being a complete idiot, I forgot. So a few days ago I sent a very apologetic email saying that I was sorry for waiting so long to get back in touch and that I'm still interested. An hour or so ago, I got a reply saying that their next production is in April and I've to get in touch closer to the time to set a date. I will not forget again, I've written it down this time. But still, YAY!
Other work experience news. My guidance teacher at school is very aware of how interested I am in technical theatre, so when she got an email the other day from Scottish Opera offering work experience to pupils, I was the first person that popped into her head. So tomorrow I am going into school to tell her I am very interested and decide when I will be going. Another YAY!
Christmas and New Year went well. Got lovely new things for Christmas, and did nothing for New Year (went to bonfire, watched Father Ted, went to bed). Spent most of the holidays playing Lego Harry Potter. Time well spent.
Prelims are going on at the moment. History paper 1, English and Maths are out of the way, still got a few to go. Will not go into further detail as it will get depressing.
That's it for now for another few months.
Pip pip, ta ta, cheerio.
