Update!

Well this week has been quite a busy week so far!

 Tons and tons of work, exams and dealines to meet in the next couple of weeks, which is quite scary, so i have been working my hardest, making an effort every day to go up to the uni library and get atleast 3 or 4 hours studying done every day. A little bit every day is a strategy i like to stick to! I enjoy myself though, because i can get into my own zone and grab a coffee whilst listening to music and getting work done, so i find the atmosphere very relaxing and enjoyable. I am also taking advantage of only working one day a week this week, so more days to catch up on everything!

Monday and Tuesday in college were quite busy, on tuesday we got to watch our Fat Sams footage, which was really exciting, however i always get quite nervous about watching myself on stage. But i was very happy with what i saw, and it was great to watch and re live the excitement and fun of performing! I get itchy feet just watching it, and want to back on the stage! :D

We were also put into new bands for Creative Project! We decided bands with a game of rock, paper scissors, which resulted in not a huge change, but an exciting one. At first i was unsure and sort of just wanted to stay in our Fat Sams bands, however when i actually thought about it, i am pleased that there has been a change, because the result was almost a whole new band for me, and musicians i havent worked with yet within my group! We decided upon ideas of swing and jazz, and the image of a formal, classy band. This prospect for me is incredibly exciting, as i am a huge fan of  old jazz, and artists in which i would consider influential and iconic to our  era of 1950s/60s two of my favourite eras in music. Artists such as Peggy Lee, Nancy Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, Dion and the Belmonts, my personal favourite. All of which inspired those eras in such a huge way, that to sit down and write our own material for this genre is something i am greatly looking foward to!

It is also a huge change and something i am not used to performing onstage, therefore quite a challenge and scary yet exciting opportunity!
Anyway that was college for this week, I have been working further on my graded unit today and will also start working my way through my theory workbook tomorrow. Then Perth Youth Theatre in the evening, we have just begun working on our new shows for the summer, and officially have our scripts, so very excited to be beginning rehearsals tomorrow night!
