Plays, And The End Of My Uni Journey

I will begin by saying hello to my first follower, hopefully the first of many. Bear with me, I haven't had time to check who you are yet, but I am thankful.

My biggest worry as a student, aside from money, is where do I go from here? It is the question that plagues my mind day and night. My subjects are somewhat selective when it comes to a career, and although I think if I commit myself I am more than capable of achieving what I want to achieve, my marks in one subject are continually low. This is demoralizing to say the least, especially since the praise for my work from my peers has been high and welcome. Maybe my tutor just doesn't like me very much.

Tonight, I went with some friends to see a play performed by some third year students called Testing the Echo. The play contained several interwoven stories based on a group of people trying to become UK citizens. Needless to say, it blew my head off. The set up was fantastic and a brilliant second half brought the plot full circle. I admit that after the first half I was a tad confused as to wear it was going, but the actors delivered performances that made their characters seem very believable and emotional. And in doing so, they answered my question.

I want to be an actor, and I didn't think that my course was taking me in the right direction. Now I see that quite possibly it is. Add to this the possible beginnings of my resume and I could be on my way. I may well be in a short film that is being shot over the next few weeks. Updates on that will be posted soon enough.

For now, good night. See you on the other side.
