Joseph four days in a row, the first being a dress rehearsal, then performing to primary school kids, then the two main performances on Wednesday and Thursday... And the main performances both sold out and gave a full standing ovation. From being pretty much coerced to audition, and counting down the minutes to the end of every rehearsal, and all the stress and fear and pretty much not wanting to be there, to getting super emotional once it was all over and loving every minute of the performance - it's been very strange. Dingwall Academy Drama Society has been a part of my life for a long time and now my last ever performance is over. Slowly sinking in how much I'm really going to miss it.
(Never forget that kid who threw up in the audience and nearly made a bunch of the actors sick too)
Thanks to all of that, I was only just able to finish last week's OU work yesterday and had to cram it a bit so my attempt at the last quiz was pretty slap dash... Been interesting talking to a Christian friend of mine about the arguments about God especially considering there was a time (of which I am not proud) when I had some slightly prejudiced views about religion. But now for some reason even though I'm not a theist I find myself wanting to defend the theist arguments.
Tomorrow will be a day of prep for a RASASH Scottish Parliament presentation which is pretty scary and there's a '16 days of action' starting on Wednesday meaning I need to think of a load of fundraising/awareness-raising ideas. Fast.
Besides from that I need to return to normality, whatever the hell that normality may be! Studying, training, etc, mostly just work! Been asked to take part in 'Strictly Come Dingwall' in a few months time so if that's going to go ahead then more updates on that no doubt. There's also an Advanced Higher Maths nab on Monday for which I am royally screwed but fortunately everyone in my class is pretty much in the same boat.
The only upside about no more drama is having more free time, but whether or not that's a consolation I'm yet to find out. Guess it's back to work I go!
