And when you cry, darling, I wish you'd feel my love. Your heart is way beyond capture...

NO ONE BLOGS ANYMORE. Me neither, but, y'know, oh well.

So, let's sum up the last few weeks. MY BIRTHDAY WAS INCREDIBLE. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. Quite frankly, 22nd January 2011 was the best day/night of my life (so far). I've been blessed with some amazing friends and I should've smelt the coffee and realised sooner. Wow. You can't even begin to imagine :')....

Everything else? Rent, Rent, Rent, Rent....you get the picture...IT'S 4 WEEKS TOMORROW AHHHHHHHHHH. (But tomorrow is Mentoring Day, meaning I get a lie in.)

I'm sorry the majority of this post has already been pretty 'in your face' (I don';t think literally), but y'know, my head and stuff.

What the hell, mother dearest just went to an audition and got a fairly big part in a play...why is she more successful with these things than me?! Honestly.

Oh, my phone just buzzed.
Oh, guess what, MORE EMAILS ABOUT RENT.

On a slight change of topic, last week I became super inspired about my future beyond sixth form as I took a trip to Birmingham Conservatoire. Woah. My heart is pretty much SET on auditioning there. It's even more amazing than I imagined, it's just so wonderful etc etc. Seriously made me think realistically about the whole studying performance and voice thing though...I have since vowed to up my practice and seriousness about performing hugely, and ever since I have been doing at least half an hour of intense singing every day :) *proud*
I don't intend on getting my hopes up however or believing for certain that I'd get in (they take 15 singers a year and not very often people of our age get in because of voice maturity), but I'm giving all this my best shot.
Off to the Guildhall next month, and then hopefully Royal Northern too :D WOO OPEN DAYS.

But, anyway. Back to good ol' Rent troubles.

Here's the transcript of a conversation between our favourite Mr Dr and myself after choir yesterday (open mouth crescendos, oo, ahh):
Mr Dr: "I bet this [meaning Rent] has been a real learning experience, Beth."
Me: "Yes! For example, I've found that no sane person takes on both roles of director and MD."
Mr Dr:"Hmm, well yes, I suppose you've learned the hard way then..."

You might think I'm really boring going on about this constantly, but it really is a large chunk of my life at the minute! I knew it'd be big, but I admit I wasn't aware it would be quite this much....then again, parts are pretty fun and exciting, like when we get ACTUAL LIGHTING OUT! :D And some people are working pretty hard, not just in the cast, but Juliette is also working (and stressing) her socks off, bless her...

At least we've replaced the cast who left! Shame that certain people still don't appear...

This will pay off. This will pay off. This will pay off.
