Fifth year seems to be hitting hard.
I warned myself that it'd be a huge change to fourth year, but did I listen? Course not.

Once again I've abandoned this for the past three or so months, but I haven't just been sitting at home twiddling my thumbs waiting for the hours to pass, I've been keeping busy!
In early August, I joined a musical group called Tightrope Productions, ran by Brian Dooley and Siobhan O'Dowd. We had out first production on the 15th and 16th of September, called "It's Showtime!". It was a selection of songs from loads of musicals, like Blood Brothers, Miss Saigon, Wicked and Guys and Dolls. Although it temporarily took over my life, spending about 80% of my time at rehearsals, it was an amazing show, and pretty much my musical debut! I took part in the school musical earlier this year, but was just in the chorus. I joined Tightrope with a couple of friends, not knowing many other people doing it. We all became so close and I'm now a bit of a musical nerd cause they've all rubbed off on me. Just last night I went to see a live streaming of The Phantom of the Opera from the Royal Albert Hall in Dun Laoghaire cinema, not going to lie, it gave me shivers.
Anyway, I was given a couple of minor parts in It's Showtime, but mainly I played Diana, a bit of a diva from Puerta Rica, singing "Nothing" from A Chorus Line. Obviously I was beyond nervous but I managed to not pee my pants on stage, and frankly I consider that a successful show.
Apart from that, life's pretty much just been taken up by the 10 and a half hours of school I do a day, and the ridiculous amount of internet TV I've started watching.

Madre is a callin', my spaghetti's ready.
