It's time to catch up

Hey guys!

So I realise that it has been a while since i've posted anything on this blog so why not catch you guys up on what has been going on for the last few months (Don't even remember when I last posted)

So I went to the Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour on the 12th of December 2015 and that so happened to be her last show for the whole tour!!! I think I made a blog post on this so I won't go into too much detail about that.

This year I began year 11 which also means VCE! but I decided to go down the VSP course which, for those who don't know, is the exact same as VCE but do not sit exams and I go on work placement instead and I get a study period rather than having that one extra class. Not a lot is going on with school, I mean, i'm passing all my classes (Just passing english though) but what I find funny is that I have one teacher for half my subjects which is Theatre Studies, Drama and English. On one hand it's good cause i really build a relationship with the teacher and she understands me more but on the other hand I see her a lot and I can grow tired of hearing the same voice a lot but overall it's good to have her for half my subjects.

For theatre studies we put on a play which was Twelfth Night which is a Shakespearean play and my role was Maria who is the best friend to Olivia. Instead of the play being set in elizabethan times it was set very similar to She's the Man as we set it in an American high school where the main sport was soccer. The blocking went right up until the day before the actual performance and it was such an amazing experience and I absolutely loved my character.

This semester we are doing The Crucible for our play and i'm not happy with my character if i am completely honest. This production is completely student driven so the directors have clearly picked favourites as all of their friends have received the good, big roles and everyone else got shit. As for me I have four lines through out the whole play and that is at the very beginning. The last play was set during the day so none of our family got to see it where now this will be a night performance so my family won't get to see what I can do and they have never seen me perform in this way before so I'm really sad they won't get to see me acting like I did in Twelfth Night. But there is always next year.

As my year level is the first year level to do VCE Drama we had a showcase evening where we presented our ensemble pieces that talked about the plague in the 17th century and i had a big role in this and I was really hoping that my parents would see this, they were going to be late as my mum had a doctors appointment, but unfortunately they only came when i just got off stage so I was really upset that they missed my performance but I can understand.

I auditioned for the school musical which was Annie but I didn't get in as I didn't realise that you had to do a dance audition to get in.

My birthday is soon, August 30th, and my party with my best friend is this Saturday so I am excited for that but i'm also nervous for some reason but I do have anxiety so it's probably that so i'll try not to worry about that too much.

If i'm honest with you there hasn't been a lot that has happened this year that I can really talk about as not a lot has happened and i've had so much homework and assessments to do.

Today I did go see a play for Drama. It was Jasper Jones. This was put on by Melbourne Theatre Company. This has to be one of the best plays that I have ever seen, it has romance, friendship, and mystery and it was brilliantly put together, the stage set just completely blew my mind because there was actual water on the stage like a little pond in the corner of the stage and on the other side of the stage, the main character had to dig and there was actual dirt that he could dig and the hole just kept going down and down and down, IT WAS AMAZING! If any of you guys live in Melbourne I 100% urge that you go and see it.

I've been to a few concerts and shows this year that i'm not going to go into detail about. I firstly saw Halsey at the beginning of the year, I then saw Little Mix and Troye Sivan and soon going to see 5 Seconds of Summer. As for plays I saw The Sound of Music with my Mum, Auntie, Nanna, and little cousin and next week i'm going to see a murder mystery called Curtains with my Mum and Auntie.

I've gone on about a lot in this blog post so i'll wrapped this up right here.

I hope I didn't overwhelm you guys with all this catching up.

Thank you for reading

Bye!
