Havin' so much fun it's not even funny (apart from my illness over the weekend!) (Which I now think may have been caused by some dodgy cranberry schnapps on Friday night! I thought I was onto a great deal!)
Everyone is so nice and have taken me under their giant 'Year2' wing!
Back to the beginning! First day was scary, but not so bad because I had someone in my group from Dundee (Remember I was in the Year1 class for a week!), registered and had my ID card given to me! I felt so special! It's got my picture on it!
That weekend, went to see Smallpetitklein, After the show, I went out with them and got absolutley hammered! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME! When we left the place we were in (at about 4 am!) This girl I had been befriended (she was one of the dancers friends!) started going up to these foreign peeps and asking them to sing Happy Birthday to me in their mother tongue! It was so good, I got about 9 different languages! City of Culture or what!
First week was good, really nice, easy start, getting to know the building and stuff!
That Friday I joined Year 2! Was so nervous I almost pee'd my pants! Everyone was really sweet to the new boy! That night I got absolutley hammered again at the local pub, which was home to the Labanites that night! I went to meet Cat and teacher Cath from Dundee for drinks at 3, and didn't stop drinking until I passed out in bed! I payed the price the following day! I sang on the bloody Karaoke for cryin out loud! Made a bit of an clown of myself, but it well and truly broke the ice with me new classmates!
Got a really good timetable, Tues and Wed, don't start til 10.30 and Fri I finish at 3pm! Crakin! It's because I didn't choose any electives this term as I have to catch up with Labanotation! (EEK!) Have Classical Ballet and Cunnigham every day for a while then I switch to Graham, thank god! Met a girl called Alex who went to Northern with my friend from home. She lived with him in his foundation year! She's my new friend!
Back to the here and now, as I said I was off Mon and Tues due to a mystery(!) illness! But back to work today! Did a small scale Site-specific project this afternoon which was fun! Going to see a MA performance in about 26 minutes, so I should really wrap this thing up!
Start my new job in Selfridges on Saturday which I'm most excited about! I saw Sarah from Girls Aloud on my 'on-the-job' evaluation day!
Anyhoo, I'm off to watch the movement we like to call dance!
