Life is good. I think.
I'm still behind in my work, but I've figured what I wanna do.
Because I dunno what exactly's going on in my head, I've decided not to go to uni, cause I don't want to. Not this year anyways...
Yes, this is stupid, because all that fee-crap is coming in, but I don't care. If I'm gonna go to uni, I'm gonna do something I'm sure I wanna do, and to be honest, I haven't got that at the minute.
My choices are (In order, even though there are really only 2 now...):
Abertay-Criminology
Edinburgh Napier-Criminology
Carlisle-Musical Theatre & Technical Theatre
UU-Criminology
UWS-Criminology
The only reason I applied for criminology is becauseI wanna join the PSNI, and 'cause they're not recruiting for 2 years, I decided to spend that time earning a degree to help me into it. BUT, then I realised don't need a degree to get into the police, and it'lljust be wasting my time...so I'm gonna apply anyway when I'm 18, (which is actually today haha) and see how it goes.
The reason I applied for musical theatre is because I'm now on my grade 8 musical theatre exam, meaning that I must be atleast decent at it?
PLus I enjoy it, and my interview was successful, and the course sounds class, and I LOVE Carlisle...so quite a list there.
BUT
Even though I'm positive that I would thoroughly enjoy Musical theatre, it has no ralistic career aspects. Basically my life would be travelling to all the show-central-cities (London, New York etc.) trying to scrounge a job while living in a cardboard box. PLastic box if I'm doing well. But atleast I'd be making good use of the counselling skills (that are tought in the musical heatre course) to get over my costant rejection.
BUT. I could maybe cut a break if I'm lucky and/or good enough?
OR, I do the TOTALLY unrealistic but perfet thing;
I buy/rent the Town Hall (Yes, that's right, Kilkeel Cinema), and I do it up and using it as a stage school. Hire dancers, have acting classes, singing lessons, hold shows; muscals, sheakespeare productions, dance recitals etc.Which is a real dream to be honest (maybe not the ideal location, but possible none-the-less)...but if I'm realistic, it'll probably never happen. And if it ever does, I'd have to win the lottery first, cause it would cost a hell of a lot. PLUS, people might not even wanna bother going?
ANYWAYS, a few months back, young Oglee said to me "you should go to uni to do events management, cause you're really good at oganising stuff"...and I thought..."HA"
But then I began to think about it, and I've organised loads of stuff,
And I facepaint at kids parties? (Good pay too! haha).
I enjoy it too, which is wierd, cause I never enjoy anything that's good for me...lol like school, everyone thinks I'm thick, which will be reinforced when I don't bother with uni probably, I know I'll be stereotyped, but I'm not as thinck as everyone thinks. Yeah I don't do well...but I don't bother. When I try, I do do (lol) well.
I just don't have a school focused mind, however gimme a task and I'm on like Wobbles on the drink. Hence the reason that I am seriouly thinking of heading do BelfMET to do a foundation course in Events Management. 30 weeks long. Not bad eh?? :)
So instead of taking the gap year that I was considering, (even though it's "stupid" to pass over the financial benefit I have this year), I will possibly/hopefully live in/travel to Belfast and attend MET and become an events manager.
It could do no harm to try it. Could it?
I dunno...someone reply please and tell me what you think.
P.s. sorry I babbled on...bored myself a little.
