Went to Slimelights last night with a funky group of peeps and crawled in about 5.30 having had a good time, so to everyone there. Respect.
There was no let up on the drama front this week as the lessons keep coming thick and fast. I've never had so many lines to learn from so many different things at one time, I feel like I'm coughing up Chekhov and shitting out Shakespeare. I'm getting to know alot more about my peers now and where there strengths and weaknesses lie, god knows we all have them otherwise we wouldn't be doing the course right? For me my biggest weakness is dancing and I thought it a complement when the dance teacher called me "An unstoppable thashing machine" but it not really the kind of thing you want to hear when trying to attempt ballet.
After two weeks of stage combat lessons one of my peers still managed to give me a right hook in an improv session which was ok until she stopped to ask if I was okay. I've taken quite a few worse bumps in the line of acting I can tell you.
I'm still quite concerned as to my money situation because I don't have any coming in because The Man won't give you any money to do a Post Graduate course so if anyone knows of any evening work that doesn't suck too much going in London then could you give a shout or for anyone whos done a PG course to let me know how they survived.
London is still lonely although I'm becoming tighter with the guys off my course and of them even came to see the Cardiff Devils play against London on Friday night. That said when I leave my new pub and the sun goes down, I get the sense of being cut off and I know that this years going to be tough on me. I still feel I made the right choice in coming here to launch my career but I can't help but feeling regret for a whole bunch of choices I made between uni's end and now.
