3 fabulous things that have made this day GREAT!

1) breaking the vicious cycle of stagnant 63s for my Hollywood Cinema module. for the last 3 essays i have handed in, they come back with cover pages that all have the same mark. this time, it came back with a 66 (whoopeee!) which thankfully brings my average up since the requirements of the module was a 'best of 2' for the longer essay and i did both (and thus this 66 can replace my previous 63). phew! it pays to be kiasu.

2) i got into Blake and Wordsworth with Emma Mason! *dances with joy* she's brilliant and i'm going to really enjoy that module next year because a) i get a fabulous tutor who is amazingly enthusiastic and engaging, b) i get to study poetry and c) i get to look at politics as well as contemporary themes in Romantic poetry.

3) i sent out my CV with a cover letter to the Birmingham REP Theatre for a speculative application for work experience yesterday and got a reply today saying they are looking for 1 or 2 students to do some information pack about careers in the performing arts and that they will doing some shortlisting next week and will be in touch to possibly arrange an interview. FINALLY! some form of hope/response to all my previous applications. even if i dont get it, at least they replied (and that there is that slim chance i can get work experience here over summer)!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD!
