Starting up!

Ok, here goes! I'm not much of a writer, as you'll soon see, but I thought I'd give this a go. In September I will be starting a Theatre degree at university. I thought I'd start this now, to include the run-up & preparation involved.  I currently am in Greece:

Church of St Nicholas, Georgioupoli

but will soon be returning to my native Cornwall in order to sort the necessary paperwork & arrange accommodation. and probably many more things I need to do that will pop up all the time!

I was originally offered a place starting September 2013, but due to health, accommodation, & financial reasons I had to defer to this year. I am a mature student (I'll be 37 by the time I start - eek!) so it is going to be strange. I have already joined the university's Facebook group for mature students, so it won't feel as though I'm plunging immediately into the deep end. I have also joined the Quidditch society! In addition to muggle quidditch, they do things such as modified versions of Hogwarts lessons (potions class is making cocktails, things like that), film nights, and a Yule Ball. I've already thought of a class I can give when I'm there! Oh God, I'm a geek! Now, I wonder if anyone will start a Doctor Who society before I arrive!

Anyway, I'd better get back to sorting my stuff. It's not easy to pack for 3-4 years! And then I have to sort out the things I'm leaving behind, & make sure they're stored. I will of course be coming back here for as many of the holidays that I can afford. And for half of the second year we are expected to study abroad. Hmmm, now where is there that I know a theatre group & can speak the language...
