(The table is a metaphor of my studies, the way towards which is full of obstacles I need to get past. The black and the white (and the plastic bag) foreshadow the fight of good against evil [studying vs not] that awaits me, as well as the practical needs (such as grocery shoppings) which accompany every member of the studentship of the Yin in their quest for a MASTER('s))
So I thought I needed to update my blog because I'm gonna be very busy for a while, but I didn't want to talk about the things I do outside of the lectures because
1) My previous note was about amdram (= amateur dramatics = theatre)
2) And basically that's all I do these days (and probably too much for my own good, actually :D)
3) There's gonna be a festival (called STaG nights) from Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th November (that's next week), so I'd rather talk about it when it's over (that is, when I'm not advertising for it ^_^)
So I thought I'd talk just a little bit ('... just a little bit...') about my studies here (I won't be too long, I promise):
I'm loving the masters at the moment (especially not having to take too many notes, as I'm terrible at that write in the messiest way that was ever seen). It is very interesting, and it is refreshing, for once to be able to CREATE things (because it's quite technical and usually to-the-point) that you can be satisfied with and not look at and think "oh dear, this is rubbish/useless" :).
It is quite hard, however, as it's a master's degree and also because we need to catch up with all the IT we've never done before. And because I'm keeping myself very busy with other stuff outside, I'm a bit behind on my schedule and am just starting to catch up. To top this up, we were given some of our coursework last week, and needless to say it's a lot of work (we even have to write a documented ESSAY (wth?! :P), but this we've known for weeks).
So until next week I'll try to
1) Prepare my assignments as well and as much as I can (since some of my deadlines are before or during the theatre festival next week, woopsey :D)
2) Read and learn an adaptation for singers of Peter and the Wolf (I need to learn it because I can gightread rhythm but not notes on sheet music XD)
3) Work on a devise piece (ie something that we create from scratch and is usually quite experimental :))
4) Do my stage manager's job for another play
5) Look for a shrink so I can get my over-busy-ness obsession sorted %D
Love to all,
xx
Wow, good luck with all that :)
ReplyDeleteC'est quand meme mieux d'etre super busy que le contraire (je trouve), surtout si tu fais des choses que tu aimes!!
J'aimerais vraiment bien venir te voir quand je rentre, je suis jamais allee si haut dans le monde lol^^ Y'aura encore moyen de te voir sur scene au deuxieme semestre tu penses?
Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteTu rentres quand au fait? Parce que je vais probablement passer entre quelques jours et 3 semaines à Paris entre le 19 décembre et le 11 janvier :)
Sinon pour le 2nd semestre c'est un mystère, et ça dépend d'une part de si j'ai le temps ou envie d'y consacrer du temps, et de si j'obtiens un rôle ^^ (mais je te dirai si je joue dans qqch, et tu peux venir quoi qu'il en soit ! :o) Hésite pas à rammener l'une ou 2 des deux autres teignes de Paris 3, également ;o))
ah on devrait pouvoir se voir, je rentre le 2 janvier :) Par contre les premiers jours je suppose que je vais galerer pour trouver un appartement, mais J'ESPERE que je ne mettrais ps 10 jours a trouver donc a priori, c'est bon^^
ReplyDeleteEt y'a plus qu'une teigne a Paris 3 maintenant lol. Mais j'essaierai de les emmener quand meme (meme si y'en a qui sont occupes parce qu'ils passent l'agreg^^).
