Well, suffice it to say it was all marvellous and I was pooped to the highest degree when it was all over - so so much organisation and so many early mornings and late nights. All wholly worth it though!
So, in a quick sum-up of all that's been happening in the last few weeks, given my blog posts have been scanty to say the least:
- I presented a few ideas for my documentary for my Contemporary Documentary module (which I'm loving). The only fly in the ointment is that my tutor hasn't been over-enamoured with any of my ideas so far. However, I've storyboarded the one I like best and I'm just going to run with it - hopefully I'll be able to prove that I'm not a total non-entity, haha. SO eager to get my hands on the SLRs that we're using to film the documentaries - I've booked one out for this coming Wednesday and also the weekend. Cannee wait!
- I've seen the following films at the cinema:
- Hereafter (6/10 could have cut half an hour out of it without breaking a sweat)
- Black Swan (8/10 gripping throughout and beautifully shot)
- The Fighter (8/10 Christian Bale was fantastic - didn't really like him as an actor until this film)
- True Grit (8/10 a little slow at times but beautiful and some clever funny lines)
- I've read the following books (excluding uni-related):
- Never Let Me Go (I was determined to read it before seeing the film - which hopefully I'll be seeing tomorrow. It's well worth a read, very compelling)
- The Screwtape Letters (a re-read, still a definite favourite - typical glorious C. S. Lewis eloquence and wit)
- Searching for God Knows What (technically still reading this one, but it's brilliant so far)
- Got a couple of offers for work experience in a couple of marketing agencies in London (I know right?!) - so so excited about them! Can't imagine little ol' me commuting into the Big Smoke for work!
- Started knitted the long-awaited iPod sock. It's my first time using a proper pattern and involved me learning to purl (a tad harder than anticipated...) but lovely Ellie has been on hand with counselling and lightning-fast knitting-reflexes, haha.
Can't think of anything else in particular, but it's seemed like a really busy few weeks - with more social gatherings and cups of coffee than I care to remember. Jolly good stuff.
