Well, i'm back again ...
I suppose I have a great deal to write about but can I be bothered ? ha
Firstly I did my drama school auditions, got rejected by RADA and waiting to hear from LAMDA and central. I'm not surprised by the outcome and will not be surprised to be rejected by the other two. I have my university spot at Kingston and it looks like that's where I will be heading for a year atleast, then I will re-audition next year for drama school as I will feel more prepared. My auditions didn't go according to plan particularly, RADA I was very nervous and forgot my words, LAMDA was okay didn't forgot anything, and central I only discovered the day before auditioning that there was a set list for classical monologues. So that shit me up good and proper, I managed to learn a classical speech in one night, and performed it, but even that went wrong. So I do not expect immediate entry to any of them!
Job wise, I have a weekend night job at a local nightclub which keeps me afloat. Also I have been accepted to work at Buckingham Palace in the summer June-October, I am excited about it but also dreading full time work. Got to get back into the routine of getting up everyday. At the moment i'm lazy and thus making me tired all the time.
I am determined yet again to become fit. Going to start with a slight jog 3-4 times a week and obviously healthy eating is back.
My boyfriend has moved down to London and is now living with me and my family. We are looking to move into our own place but money is needed before this can happen.
Confusion set in the other day about what I really want to do with my life. Of course acting is the main route I want to go down, but am I prepared for the constant rejections and uptight people surrounding me on a daily basis? Or do I want a more academic route which involves talent being judged on paper rather than performance...
Everyone says i'm so young, but the fact is I want to start my career now, whatever it is. I want to be learning and constantly involved with acting/singing.
I really want to take my singing back up and practice as much as possible, this could help me a lot in the future being able to sing and act. I think maybe musical theatre might be my route but I choose not the accept it fully yet.
Anyway, I need to write more and so I will, Tomorrow is a brand new day and I will still be writing!
Ciao for now.

Audition for NYT
Well my first audition parading my monologues is soon approaching....
Sunday is the day, excited and also nervous as i'm sure anybody would be! The thing that effect me and so many other people i'm sure is forgetting my words....
But I like to think i'm good at picking things up fast and hopefully I can make up something if all goes to pot! Shouldn't be promoting that but never mind!
Also my throat is in a terrible way which could effect my whole day but hopefully I can keep it under control for now.
Still having money problems.. looking for a job got interviews as i've said but having no money is getting me down , simply because applications need to be sent and things need to be set rolling as soon as possible.
I need to find a house for me, my mum , my sister and my boyfriend , in north london , with basically no money , so that is a challenge!
I'm thinking positively still though, that everything will eventually come together and we'll be fine, but you know CHIN UP haha.
I have added a twitter widget to my blogger profile so feel free to follow me.
Goodbye again ,
Ciao.

Well feeling ill these last few days has put a downer on my situation again as things were starting to look up!
I have an audition on Sunday for the national youth theatre and I am looking forward to it actually, even though i'm not 100% prepared to say the least....
Also I have a job interview for Buckingham palace which has excited me , just a summer job but it will look good on any CV saying I have worked for the royal family!
Weight loss is another target of mine, i'm feeling groggy and horrid. Partly because of having a terribile headache, blocked nose, cough etc. But also because everytime I seem to be with my boyfriend I eat a load of rubbish! ha.
Anyway I am trying my best to promote this blog and my professional one so if you like this one please go on my new one ;
http://aspiringactress92.blogspot.com/
I will be writing about everything and anything to do with acting.
anyway just a short one to get me back into it once again!
Ciao.

Positive Thinking
Well the time has come for positive thinking to take place!
I have taken two books out of the library on how to think positively and how to make the right choices in life. Basically telling me what I already knew but it drives the point home.
Got my UCAS letter now i'm just waiting for the universities to get back in touch with me, Fingers crossed and all that jazz. Still waiting to send my RADA and LAMDA applications off but like I said i'm waiting until last minute.
Well being back in London started badly but i'm slowly getting used to it again. Realised its the better place to be again, but i'm hoping to up sticks and leave the family home soon. Big challenge with no money but i'm determined.
Making new friends is the target these next few months. Most of the friendships I had in Barrow have turned sour so a new lease of life and friends is in order! Maybe that will give me a new spring in my step.
I think I will try and find some local drama society or choir and join. I miss the groups.
Anyway apart from having no friends and hating most of my family, life is actually OK! I'm becoming more positive about myself and in the long term if selfish is what I become its what I must become....
CIAO!

Back in London
Well after a month and a half I'm back in London city...
I was excited, but getting here to find I no longer have a bedroom, a duvet or a life sort of put a downer on things.
Decided I perhaps NEED to find a job as I am on the bones of my arse money wise at the moment. And this is another factor restricting me from doing things in and around London.
I was hoping that I may have had a few Christmas cards here but I was sadly mistaken. Got one off my Grandad and that's the extent of it.
Anyway enough of the depressing rant, I'm back in London for a reason and that is to get my acting career back on track and hopefully find somewhere to live of my own.
Leaving my current boyfriend in the north was the most difficult task. As my family do not provide much support he is the only one I can count on, which when looked at retrospectively is not the ideal situation. But in the most simple of terms, I miss him.
Hopefully now I have applied for UCAS as well as RADA and LAMDA I will feel safer having a back up plan for the future because things aren't moving fast enough for me.
Anyway its my mothers birthday today and I thought we might have gone out for a meal or something but as usual she has gone off with her friends into the city centre and left me to look after my sister. Personal babysitter.
Well all I can say is I hope this downward spiral shoots upwards at some point.
Goodbye for now.

Home
Well , I've been neglecting this blog for sometime and it needs some attention!
Not much has happened really, apart from me being really into photography at the moment.
Whilst being in a little town surrounded by countryside its always a perfect time to take pictures.
So I went to a local forest and spent a good couple of hours there taking some pictures of the beautiful world we live in ! Not appreciated as much as it should be of course.
Also having this month to reflect on my life has put me in the same mind set I was a few months ago which is I need to get my career moving... I need to do things that keep me going each day and get me motivated enough to get up and GO.
Auditions are coming up for drama school and I am, well, scared to say the least!
Preparation still needs to be done and confidence still needs to be built but hopefully that will come soon..
RADA and LAMDA are the two I am auditioning for which happen to be the most prestigious two in London, I don't seem to aim low... but if I am rejected I have no idea what I will do, I am not prepared for that outcome and am not looking forward to it....
Positive attitudes need to remain, for example
I AM GOING TO GET INTO DRAMA SCHOOL
or
I AM GOING TO BE AN ACTRESS
hope has to remain somewhere !
Anyway back to London I go next Monday, to start again properly this time!
Ciao for now!

The new year
Well , the new year has finally arrived and has sort of lifted my spirits somewhat....
Still the same routine remains for now but determination is afoot!
How hard it is to get into the acting business needs to be at the back of my mind not the front...Just my love of acting should remain at the forefront of my mind! Practice Practice Practice!
Set the aims, meet them!
Anyway my new year was okay but could have been better, the need to go out and party has completely gone out of the window, drink just does not interest me. I'm 19 this should not be happening yet! Never mind I still enjoyed myself and enjoyed the company.
Back to London soon, back to reality.
