Bow before your King

OK well not King, but vice-King, can I call myself that?

Well regardless, I am now writing as the soon-to-be Vice President of FilmSoc!!! Yay! We had the AGM today and I'm so happy I got the position I ran for. And unlike all the other positions, I didn't run unopposed.


So next year, on top of my increasing workload and the fact that my grades will actually count towards my final degree, I'll be on the committee of a society which currently needs a lot of work. It has the potential to be really great though and I hope that, with a lot of hard work and dedication, we can make it into something I'm proud to be a part of.

The Little Things

Morning.
Since being at home my days seem so much longer. I think it's because the whole household gets up by 9.30 and then the rest of the day stretches out in front of you. This isn't good if, like me, you don't enjoy breakfast and want to skip straight to lunch because it's not really acceptable to eat a bowl of noodles or samosas for breakfast but the wait is so long! A few times already I've found myself at a loose end and have had to be very creative in order to avoid doing actual work.

Yesterday I visited my Nan for the first time in nearly 4 months. Listening to my Nan and Dziadziu (Polish grandfather) bicker is absolutely hilarious. My Nan will order him about and he'll whip out his puppy dog eyes, walking around, hanging his head dejectedly until my Nan gives in, laughing. It was a really lovely afternoon.

The Little Things

OK I'm going to cheat a little bit and write about my Saturday not my Monday. Monday was fine but Saturday was so much better, and not just because I had no lectures.

On Saturday I spontaneously went into the city and indulged in ice cream and macarons, soaked up the sun and had a thoroughly lovely time. I wish it were possible to do spontaneous things every weekend, just decide to hop on a train somewhere you've never been or walk down a road you've never walked before. Hell, maybe even go to France! One day I'll pluck up the courage.

Musical Funtimes and The BIG thing

Might have just got an email
It might have informed me I got a principal role in the musical
I might have danced around the flat like a mad woman
I might still be bouncing as I sit here
Huge grin? Hell yes!

So, so happy! The girls at my callback were all incredibly talented and rather intimidating. And before getting the news, I watched most of them perform tonight in MTSoc's production of Guys and Dolls. They're not half bad. Despite being tipped by my inside source (thank you) that my name was pencilled by that part, I was still apprehensive. But then I got the text about the final decision. Verified it by checking the official email. Jumped on the spot for about 5 minutes, much to the disgust of my flatmate who had to take a plate of food from my hand. She was not impressed, she said she's internally happy for me.

Apparently things happen to me when I get involved in musicals and productions. My alter ego comes out. She is affectionately known as 'Stressy Elly' and she is the Hyde to my Jekyll.

This is all hearsay I maintain as I don't recall changing one bit during the last show, I had a great time! I guess I'll just have to prove that last time was the exception to the rule.

Yeep, still thrilled. Can't wait to get started!

The Little Things

Some things that made yesterday great were:

- Buying a cheese tiger baton still warm from the bakery
- Going to body balance for the first time in weeks and thoroughly enjoying it
- The band which they use to tourniquet your arm during blood tests having dracula and bats printed on it. I can't help but feel it's rather appropriate.

The Little Things

Sometimes, one little thing can make an otherwise miserable day seem so much brighter.
Things like rainbows, double rainbows, cancelled lectures, finding a pound on the floor, being donated clothes by your friend/neighbour/sister etc.
I thought that, seeing as the beginning of the week is such a drag, on Tuesdays, I'll post one little thing that's happened on Monday which made my day a whole lot better.

And this week I have 2 things that made Monday great. Firstly was skipping my morning tutorial to spend more time in bed, so deliciously luxurious, which set my day off to a great if not thoroughly productive start. Secondly, I ended my day in the supermarket where reduced items were everywhere! I picked up two punnets of blackberries for 20p and four muffins for 15p!

I am one happy bunny today
(Still no idea on the song for musical auditions though. Yes they are today and tomorrow. No, the pressure isn't getting to me at all)
