Drama Monologue (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

Hey Guys!

So I remembered that I was gonna update you guys on how I'm going on my drama monologue.

So far I have Memorised my script for Ferris Bueller but now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to preform it and how I'm going to say everything.

Do you guys have any ideas? 

I'm doing the opening scene where he just made his parents believe he was sick and he's saying what a good way to trick parents are and how he had a test on European socialism.

I have a rough idea of what I want to do but I want someone else's thoughts of how I should preform it, in case someone is a big fan of the movie.

Thanks for reading guys!

I need to get back to doing school work 

Starting Monologues

Starting Monologues in class

So today in drama we are starting Monologues (if you couldn't already tell) and we have a choice between 31 different ones from different movies. I narrowed down my choices to three options 

1: Tangina - Poltergeist

2: Dumbledore - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

3: Ferris Bueller - Ferris Buellers Day Off

So I have decided to do the male role which is Ferris Bueller.

I have no idea how I am going to go for this because we have to perform it in front of the class and it's going to be our exam. I'm excited because I love to perform but I'm nervous because I'll be  playing a male role and I'm a girl, that and I've never performed by myself in front of this class before, it's always been with other people in the class.

I'll keep you posted about how it's going!

Demon Teachers

Hey Guys

Once again I am supposed to be doing class work and listening to my teacher but this post popped into my head and I had to write it.

I'm in English at the moment and it's the last day of school (thank god) and I can honestly say that my English teacher is probably the worst teacher I could have ever had.

For example: She makes us read at the start of the lesson for 15 minutes and talks through it for 10 minutes.

Someone in class will be doing absolutely nothing (like what just happened now) and she will tell them off! like why? what's the point?

Something else as well is that we were given an essay and we only had one lesson the prepare for it, like writing down notes and getting information. FOR AN 800 WORD ESSAY, she then realised that she didn't give the class enough time so now we have to do it next term. Lucky.

All term we've been learning about the origins of English and I know she has to teach it to us, it's not her choice. But she could at least make it fun in some way but instead she drags it on and she just doesn't know when to stop talking. 

Going back to picking on the students, a few of my friends have wanted to leave the school because of her, my teacher just picks on them so much and she favours others and that is not fair at all. She doesn't even let us open the blinds because it's a "distraction"

AND RIGHT NOW SHE JUST TOLD SOMEONE THEIR OPINION WAS WRONG!!!

The student says in her life time she doesn't think language has changed. Fair enough that is her opinion, but my teacher just said "that's wrong and you know it is, you know very well that it has changed" Like let the girl write about her opinion and not yours.

Bloody Catholic school always trying to force their beliefs down our throats.

My school is a good school but I'm sick of getting beliefs forced upon me, just stop we're sick of it.

And I'm sure other students around the world will agree with me

So in summary my English teacher is a demon on earth. Tell me in the comments if you have any bad teachers and what makes them a bad teacher.

School gets in the way

Hello Everyone!

So I think I've made it pretty obvious what I'm gonna be talking about?

Me, being a teenager, is hard to be writing posts all the time.

I love posting on here, even if no one ends up seeing it, I just love the fact that I can share my thoughts with others and maybe later in life reading back on these posts.

There's just one downside to doing it though.

School.

I hate the fact that I'm in school and I always have heaps of homework because then I never have time to think of something I could post. When I do have time I don't have an idea, but when I don't have time I have an idea and I think "I'll remember that for later" but I always end up forgetting.

I know some of you will understand if you're in school and have a blog. 

It's funny that the things we love doing we almost never have time for, don't you think?

You know what's unfair as well? 

The fact that schools never teach us things we want to be in life. Like this for example, I wouldn't mind doing this for a living but do they teach you how to write a blog the write way? or teach you how to make it look really good? No. And what about if you want to be a youtuber, which is something I also want to do, do they teach you the right kind of equipment you need? or how to come up with a video idea? Nope.

In school they teach you pointless things you'll never need in life and it's something I think the education system needs to realise.

I've gone completely off track, sorry

I know for sure when I graduate school I'm going to be dedicating my time to writing good material  for you guys. I just hope that one day someone will see my blog and share it with someone and soon it becomes something people will love and write comments to me. Kinda like Zoe Sugg's book Girl Online. But instead of falling in love with a guy named Noah I just get the blog aspect of the book.

Gone off topic AGAIN!

But anyway you guys get the idea about how school gets in the way and how they don't teach us things we'll really need in life.

(Fun fact I'm writing this in school when I should be doing my drama work)

Thank you so much for reading

Bye! 

  

Confidence in Performing?

Hey Guys!

I had a thought.

A lot of people (like myself) love the thought of singing, dancing, acting on a stage in front of so many people and want to make this a career, but don't have the confidence.

This year I have learnt a thing or two to help gain your confidence when it comes to this sort of thing so the only rational thing to do is to share it to you.

ACTING

When it comes to acting or drama in general, there is no need to stress about portraying a roll in front or with someone because they are in no way going to judge you. In my drama class there is this boy that does act and I am in a group with him to perform a play to our class and year 12's. He knows some of us are nervous about acting in front of others because we hadn't done it before. He gave us a few pep talks and from that I've learnt that there is NOTHING to be afraid of

"Why are you so nervous? They aren't going to make fun of you if you forget a line or if you trip on stage. The reason they are here is just to enjoy the show. You may not be Meryl Streep or Jennifer Lawrence but you are you. And no one can play that role the way you can."

(I'll leave this for you that I made)

DANCING

Ah dancing. The art of telling a story though your swift actions (did I really just write that?) There is nothing more beautiful then a dance, whether it be ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip hop, etc.  

This part is sorta going to be for those who have just started dancing and aren't as comfortable in the class.

I started dancing at the age of 13 because I wanted to get fitter and just do something for fun.

When I started dancing I wasn't doing a lot and I found myself in the back corner of the class so I couldn't see myself in the mirror and I was so scared because everyone was so good and I was so insecure thinking "I've just messed up that move" "how can I do this?" "I should quite cause I am just so bad" "how is everyone so good and I'm so crap?"

From experience I will tell you this.

Do not be afraid to have fun. When you think of dancing you think of Abby Lee Miller and that all dance teachers are that strict and that you have to be perfect. If you mess up just keep going because you WILL eventually get that move perfect and if you do mess up no one is going to judge you or think you're stupid, if anything they'll think it's amazing that you can keep going! When it comes to people in class and not knowing anyone don't be afraid to introduce yourself because, trust me, it becomes a lot easier to dance when you know people. I went from being so awkward around everyone and I felt so uncomfortable dancing around people I didn't know, but then I decided to just get to know people, I've made some really good friends and it's easier to dance because if I forget a move I can just laugh about it with a friend.
So from that just DON'T BE SCARED JUST GO OUT AND DO YOUR THING.

SINGING
Here's the big one. Singing
We all love to sing but some of us want to make it career but don't have the confidence to get our voice out there (don't worry I know how you feel)
This year I have had a few occasions where I have performed for a small crowd so here is my advice.
You know that phrase "picture the audience in their underwear"? well I'll tell you know that that doesn't exactly help.
The only thing I can really say about it is to just do it.
Go out there and rock the stage because no matter what you do it is going to sound good and if you mess up, no one will notice except for you. Once you have performed and you're off the stage you will have such an adrenaline rush and It'll feel so good because you know you've done something you're afraid of doing and it's one step closer to becoming more confident.

So this was just a bunch of advice I thought I'd like to share with you guys
If this helped anyone please let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading

Dearest Taylor

Hi Guys

i want nothing more than to meet taylor swift​ and tell her how much she has done for me. If it wasn’t for Taylor i wouldn’t be the person i am today. If a day ever comes where i meet taylor i won’t have enough time to tell her everything.

Taylor has been there for me through her music since 2008, through my tears, through my smiles and through all my hard times. No matter how mad or sad i’ve been she can always bring a smile to my face and she is one of the only people that can do that.

I have learnt so many life lessons like i don’t need to worry about having a boyfriend because there is so much more in life that is so much better then that, In life all i really need is my family and a few good friends to be happy.

I’ve been through a time with my family and i’ve been depressed (not wanting to kill myself just really really sad) about everything that has happened with my brother, my mum and a family friend. But through all this hurt taylor swift has been there for me, not physically (cause australia) but in her music, twitter and instagram. 

I am so happy i live in an age where i have a chance to tell my idol how much they mean to me through social media, so if i never get the chance to meet them, there is a chance for her to see it on the internet.

Taylor i would just like to say thank you for being a songwriter/singer because without you i would be an emotional wreck and not know as much as i know now.

There is also a point i want to make about helping people out being noticed. 

(Why is it when someone with a lot of followers posts something meaningful for a celebrity (like i've just done) everyone will tag the them and help that person get noticed? But when it comes to people like me who don't have a big following no one wants to help? I don't see how that's fair honestly because i live in Australia so my only chance of Taylor noticing me and knowing what i have to say is over social media, it's just not right that some people don't even want to help others when this is their only chance. I'm sorry but it just really upsets me)

Hair Change

Hey Guys!

For the past few months my hair has been really crap so i'm just gonna go through what happened.

(Blured my face out because i look absolutely terrible)

I first ombred my hair in September last year, but the blonde was too yellow and there was no blending in it.

A little while later i went back and dyed my hair darker, and over time i had to keep toning it because it kept going a Brassy. By this time the texture of my hair wasn't at it's best but it was still not bad.

At the start of January i dyed my hair blue and I really loved the colour but what i didn't like was the fact that the ends of my hair felt really dry and broken and that I had layers to it just made everything look even worse. In this photo I had straightened my hair to make it look nice but when my hair was how it naturally is, it goes very curly/frizzy and it exposed the terrible ends of my hair.

When school started up again my hair was wreaked. The blue had faded and the blonde was coming through with a green tinge to it. The parts of my hair that was dyed felt even worse then they were feeling before and the colour looked horrible. I felt awful with my hair in this state because everyone around me had such nice hair and my hair was not as nice as everyone else's and i had just wreaked it completely.

Last time I was at the hair dressers I started to cry because i just hated everything about my hair. So today I went back and she used a moose colour that wouldn't make my hair worse and she gave it a really good cut so now my hair feels a lot thicker and the colour just blends really well.

Compared to when i first got my hair coloured i've noticed how bad my hair used to look and I can easily say that i will not be dying my hair for a while.

Moral of the story, if you're thinking about dying your hair do it if you are completely sure of the colour you want but if you haven't dyed your hair before and really want to dye it so many colours like I wanted to do, just don't do it because you will regret it. If my hair ended up like this by only dying it those times just don't take that chance of ruining your hair because it will take a long time to get back to the way it was before

Bye Guys
