Submission Relief

Mod 2 submitted and the weight is lifted.

I can't deny I've found the run up to this submission rather frustrating. Having felt in a great position for the last month or so submission felt like an array of issues... again!

- unihub not working
- turn it in not working
- conflicting messages
- no feedback
- hundreds of questions

And now its allllllllll gone and life is good again...for a short while.

This summer should have been filled with 3 months playing two Shakespere roles and a 3rd role as the queen of hearts which would have been so much fun!!! but ...

Here's to a break and figuring out what's next for the career in these strange covid times.

One month of Lockdown UK

Lockdown day 30:

So a month of official lockdown  and I'm adjusting pretty well now it has to be said...

First of, something that hasn't come up, and I just can't understand why.... the Sun has been out almost every day since lockdown started! ITS A LOCKDOWN MIRACLE! It's amazing. I love the sun! I'm tanning like I'm in the Mediterranean and it's lovely!

My nan rang me earlier (always nice) and asked how my day was. The response:

Well the sun was shining so that means it's a good day...

This is something I really do live by but it's not by choice. I mean in one way it's great that the sun can help everything, but on the other hand the mood drop when the weather is poor is so noticeable. Almost as noticable as my mood when I'm hangry! No-one needs to experience that!

The other thing that's nice about this lockdown is that it's the first time in literally years that I don't feel guilty for having a day to myself. The only other time I find this is possible to feel, is on an abroad holiday with no internet, but even now the world is so well adapted that you can't afford to switch off on holiday.


Lockdown schedule:
Morning breakfast
2 hours of focused work (art or uni or professional advancement)
1-2 hour workout
Lunch
Free time in the sun (book reading or spend time with my sis)
5PM news briefing combined with an abbs session
Cook the family dinner
TV evening
RSC/ NT live/ Drama online bedtime show

Repeat

No complaints!

But this is only allowed as I've already put a lot of time in to uni work and my taxes, applying for 'normal jobs' including the NEC Nitingale and updating my showreels/CV. 

Anyway I'm rambling but it's how the mind works in this lockdown. Try to avoid the elephant in the room, that still every day theres hundreds of people dying and life as we knew it remains in jeopardy. I also feel like in a time where the world says reach out, I'm really really selfishly enjoying my own little bubble of isolation. 

In terms of the course, I've spent a solid month working hard on 'completing' this unit and still new things keep mysteriously presenting themselves. Frustrating when you think you might be done and all of a sudden there is something else that needs adding. I sent a complete version for feedback a couple of weeks ago tho so at least I will hopefully know that the structure is right and theres nothing missing. Hopefully that will come through soon so I can make final adjustments and submit. We will see.

For now... back to the routine.
