OU stuff's going fine - nothing much to report on that front! However wondering if I should be reading the optional extra material but there are only so many hours in a day...
This last week's been not too bad. Busy as always, especially with Drama rehearsals. With the first performance during school on tuesday, and only one rehearsal to go (full dress rehearsal) with an entire scene about which I'm unsure and haven't been given the chance to work on, nerves are definitely building. Barely anyone knows I'm playing Joseph which is quite nice for now - keeps a nice barrier between the performance and 'real life' so to speak.
Had a party last night at the fabled 'Contin Hall', a "wretched hive of scum and villainy". Don't get me wrong, had a nice time, but to come home and hear the amount of catastrophes that happened all across the world in Paris, Lebanon, Japan with its earthquake, etc, all at one time wasn't nice at all. It's absolutely horrific. Although a friend of mine pointed out that it's good that people are realising that the problem isn't religion itself, it's violent people. No religious writings would tell anyone to do what those people did. I'm sure that all of this has quite a bit of relevance to the Philosophy of Religion topic... No doubt people would argue that a benevolent creator would never let any of this happen, not that I'm necessarily one of them.
My school year's yearbook is currently in creation and I have nooooo idea what to write in my entry! To make it funny or make it all nice and soppy is the question. Struggling with Advanced Higher Maths as well as integration just gets worse and worse and worse. NAB upcoming! woooo...
Once drama's over with I can chill out and keep my focus! This Open Uni course will be great as a kind of constant throughout the year - writing these blog entries keep everything in perspective and the work has been consistently enjoyable. Nothing much else of interest to report off the top of my head - training was going quite well with learning 540o roundhouse kicks and stuff until I felt an old injury coming back a bit... Note to future me: be careful you idiot! Also those coffee machines are raking in the dolla. Learning to drive is so far going very well too.
I'm yet to learn how to keep these posts short and concise...
Go Go Go Joseph
