In all honesty, i have been awfully busy this weekend!! I've had two assignments due in the last two days, one of which i could not begin until i had been to a gig on Friday evening.
Friday morning was possibly the most stressed i have been since the beginning of the uni year and it had nothing to do with any deadlines looming. No, this stress came from three and a half hours of getting nowhere. Friday morning saw the release of Take That's 2011 Progress tour and my aunt, her sister and me were absolutely desperate to go! Having been at the final night of the 2009 Circus tour i could not resist spending £60 and many hours on tickets. But, perhaps naively, i thought it would be easy. A couple of phone calls, perhaps logging onto a website and it would be sorted. Alas, 210 minutes later i was still ticket-less and very close to pulling my hair out. Just as i decided to give up i saw a side note from one fan on the TT fan page to try an Irish website and suddenly i was the very proud owner of three Take That tickets for June 5th 2011!!!!!!!!!!! Words simply cannot describe how happy i was and still am!!
Having had a lot of early mornings last week i was looking forward to leaving the gig at Ruby Lounge fairly early, coming home, writing a basic review to go over at the weekend then sleeping for many many hours. Unfortunately there were a lot of friends at this gig and somehow i was convinced to stay to the end and then convinced to go to Satan's Hollow afterwards. This was my first new experience because i had always steered clear of the infamous rock club, being a huge fan of Take That, it was unlikely to be my cup of tea! But, i am all for trying new things and this lead to what turned out to be a really great night!
The next day saw me doing absolutely no work and instead baking cupcakes for a Halloween party that evening. Many hours later and the day had been wasted. I was making myself Zombified because this was Halloween weekend and i had some scaring to do! Unfortunately i've never been one for acting so ended up simply grinning the whole night and scaring nobody. Still, two great nights in a row so one can't complain!
Sunday. 1,500 word assignment due Monday. A draft had been written thankfully but more work was needed. I spent the day in bed, eating hangover food but also working. Eventually it led to a final product, a waffly self-assessment and a desire to never see the words pageant, beauty or competition ever again!
Monday, the work was handed in, the Shorthand lessons had returned and predictably the one week of no practice had sent me back at least two weeks in the process! Still, i had got almost all the work necessary done in time so i was happy. All that was left to do was write a live review based on the one A4 page of notes i had made at the gig!!
Surprisingly enough i managed it! After Chinese takeaway and Paranormal Activity Monday evening i knuckled down and the live review was written. All that was left to do was sleep! And sleep i did!
Over and out!
