One

Ok, so here I am in my bed, laptop sitting in front of me, Austin Powers on the tele and I have to say I'm feeling abit nervous and apprehensive about doing this... It's something I've always wanted to do, but never have...

So this is my first blog... I'm kinda scared noone will read it, but then I think I'd be relieved if noone did coz that would take the pressure off.

So I guess now is the time for introductions... My name is Monique, I'm 19 (I turn 20 this year and I'm starting to freak out coz that means soon I'll be able to say "hey that was cool almost 20 years ago" etc etc etc) and I finish my gap year at the end of this month, so soon I'll be shippin off to uni.

Uni freaks me out... alot... and I know it's stupid to be scared of it, but it's not so much the moving away from home or the lack of money, it's the course I'm doing... It's a Bachelor of Creative Arts majoring in Drama... They take like 60 people a year! 60 PEOPLE! and they audition over 300... OVER 300 PEOPLE THEY CHOOSE ME! Now I'm not saying this because it sounds impressive, I'm saying this because... well... what if they choose wrong? What if I'm not good enough? What if I'm not just cut out for it?

That last question is the thing that worries me the most... This course is my dream... I've wanted to study Drama since I can ever remember. All I've ever wanted to be is a paid actress... I feel like there's too much presure on this course to complete my dreams... I'm scared I'm going to fail...

Well that all got a bit serious didn't it?

Soooooooo, let's change the topic slightly?

Did you know that if the human stomach didn't store food we'd have to eat every 20 minutes?

Um.. yeah... I think I might stop it there... for now...

ps. The picture has absolutely no relevence whatsoever... I just like Diane Arbus.
