Thank you January 2012

Phew, January is over. I have been quite scared of January ever since January 2009 came along and plunged the entire year into disarray. 2009 was by far one of the worst years of my entire life and every month brought it's own devastating and difficult troubles. But January was by far the worst month. Therefore when 2010 came around it could only get better, and it did. 2011 was so busy I hardly even noticed it. But this January was again a bit of a struggle. Before I left drama school I told everybody that I would go home to earn a bit of money and then move back after Christmas, either January of February. Obviously that didn't happen, for a number of reasons, but regardless that didn't happen. So January felt like a bit of a detour this year. Again I ran out of money, I blame Christmas for that, and didn't really manage to see many of my friends. I have been working loads this month. Not doing acting, but planning and running workshops and being at the pub. And although that was totally rubbish, it was quite nice once payday finally did come around. Now I am excited for February. The hotel and train tickets are booked for our stay in London so we can go flat searching, and this month the preparation jobs are: to get a settlement figure for my PCDL, get a graduate loan to pay off the PCDL and overdraft, hand in my resignation for the drama workshops and arrange viewings for seeing flats. Exciting times coming up, and February allows me to feel like it is finally all going to happen.

And on the acting front, I start filming my first short film at the end of February. We are shooting in Leeds and London, so all being well, it should be some nice footage for the old showreel.

Peace out.
