*Future*

2013 Taken care of !


In terms of plans for the future, I am pretty much sorted out!

I head off to North Carolina on 27th May 2013 to work for Gwynn Valley Camp, so majorly excited that words cannot describe.

I am going to be the Fine Arts Program Leader for the summer which means drama,dance,singing,musical theatre and kids for 2 and a half months!!!!

Got this employment through Camp Leaders Agency and I cannot wait, this camp seems like the perfect one for me, full of warmth, love and welcome and I think it is going to be the most summer of my life.

In the process of getting my visa, medical and all the boring bits out the way now... Also anticipating the post camp travel, going to see as much of the states as I can and come back sometime in September and I will hopefully create memories that I will keep with me forever!




 
 
So thats summer sorted and when I eventually come back home, I'll then be heading back to America to work as a Youth Arts Counsellor for Disney Cruise Lines! Thats right people, Ill be heading to live on a cruise ship on what I believe is the "Happiest place on Earth". Not sure what ship yet , but the training is in Walt Disney World, Florida so I will happily oblige to going !
 
So thats me and my life taken care of until at least 2014... Will hopefully be full of ups, new experiences, amazing people and wonderful memories.
 
Talk about living life to the full :)

Running.....

Another hobby that I've gained that is nothing less than hard work but awesome at the same time is Running....

In the midst of such a hectic schedule, it provides light relief as well as staying fit and healthy at the same time.

The first race I did was the Iceman on Saturday 26th January down in Frimley... It was such an amazing experience that I did with my work colleagues and only one word can describe it: HILLY!! They made you go up and down like a yoyo with no recovery time at all. It was roughly 11k , probably not the easiest race to start off with but I wouldn't change a thing about it.

NO PAIN ,NO GAIN

A couple of images below from the day, I love how I start off so happy and postive and you can see the progression in the last picture..... exhausted!!


















A couple of days ago, I signed up for my next race : The Energized Night Run in Battersea London. A nice easy 5k, where you cross the finish line into the afterparty with music, food and drink that goes on until 12pm, Now that sounds like my kind of race!!

Doing it also with my colleagues so it will hopefully be another fun filled event, my training has already begun so hopefully I will not feel as much pain!

New Year... New Experiences !


Hellllllooooo,
Feeling a bit of a let down in the Blogging community as I have not actually posted since my final year at University which was in 2012! Since so much has happened and is happening as I speak, I thought I'd slowly get back into it :)

So news, I graduated from Roehampton University with a 2:1 in BA Drama, theatre & Performance Studies! Best three years of my life and I did definitely shed some tears on my Graduation day.

 
Its quite a surreal experience really, you work your butt off for 3 years, essay after essay, Dissertation and performances/rehearsals and then you collect a piece of paper and your done, never have to write anything ever again if you dont want to !
 
Since graduating, life has been pretty full on! I think I have been one of the VERY lucky ones to have  been getting offered soo much work in my industry that Im having to turn some of it away.. Thats when you know that you've made it! :)
 

My time is split between acting, filming, dancing, teaching, modelling, nannying, working at Childrens camps, casino,retail, marketing, admin,promotions/events and other random work..... Mental would be an appropriate word here :) But im loving it!!!!
