I finalized my choice to go to Brunel.
I AM NOW OFFICIALLY GOING TO BRUNEL UNIVERSITY IN SEPTEMBER 2008 TO STUDY CREATIVE WRITING.

Clicking the "yes" button was done with a deep breath.
But it's over now. I am so glad it's done. ^^ Had to withdraw my app from Goldsmiths, but with all the crap they were giving me it serves them right. :P

Also,
I'm leaving for Amsterdam this morning.
Will be back on Thursday. Lots of randomness predicted for both the trip and after... ^^ It's going to be a lot of fun, hopefully. I just hope it doesn't rain *crosses fingers*~

Um, that's all I guess.
*has run out of things to say*
Bye bye~ ^^

Goldsmiths decided it's also missing a reference letter. A letter no one else asked for.
And even if I reason with that [seeing that normally my application SHOULD have a reference letter in it but it's missing because the teacher I asked it from gave it to me one day later than the application deadline] they tell me this less than a month before I have to make my decision. The deadline's May 9. OH MY GOD WHY ARE THE STUPID PEOPLE ATTACKING ME?!

To top it all off, the reference letter I have has been emailed to me. No official stamps and stuff.
I'm going to forward it to them, and that will have to do.
And if it doesn't, FUCK THEM. I don't have time for this shit.

In other news, I had a dream last night, and my GOD did it kick ass. :D
( involves death, spirits, gangsters, and William Beckett. )


Brief mention of three things that are pissing me off at this moment:
I. Emma-stinkin'-Watson just got TWENTY MILLION POUNDS from the HP movies as a whole, since she turned 18 like 10 days ago. TWENTY FRIGGIN MILLION POUNDS. And I'm can't even gather 100 lousy euros to go get myself a scanner. I get pissed off at the unfairness of some people getting all the luck (especially when they don't deserve it). If you look at the bigger picture, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
II. My ex-boyfriend is ignoring me like I don't exist, when I am completely normal and friendly with him, like we used to be before we got together. Those were fun times, man! Don't ruin a perfectly fine friendship! >.< I swear he must hate me or something, when I didn't even TELL him what was wrong with him and why I broke up with him because it would break his heart. Suddenly I'm this evil person he doesn't even talk to. He ignores my comments on the YT vids he and the guys made, and on his "art" on dA, and from what I hear he's been acting like a downright diva. OH MY GOD GET A GRIP YOU IDIOT. He's like 100 times worse than when we were together, makes me actually say "thank God I'm not with that guy anymore", you know? *sigh* My problem with him is the fakeness of it all. (Then why do you bother, stupid Kath?!)
III. Certain people need to STOP TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES. It's annoying. You meet up with this person, you have like a bajillion common interests, and upon conversation this person talks only about themselves and what they've accomplished and the things they like and cute family stories and BLAH BLAH BLAH~ leaving you---in reality, me---unable to form a single sentence that's longer than "Oh, me too." What is up with that? Stop it right now or I swear to Silvanus I'm gonna kill ya, and then I'm gonna work on ya. I fuckin' hate people like this. They piss me off.

That's a log of stuff for one entry O_o
Hope I didn't tire y'all.
Must go to bed... Bye nya!

Remember the University of the Arts London fiasco story?
Add to that the letter I got today from Goldsmiths, in which they say they will consider me as an overseas student if I don't send some sort of form to them in a week, because the information on my application was unclear.

OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY FULL OF MORONS.

I'm Greek. I'm 18 years old and I have lived in Greece for the past 18 years of my life. What's unclear about that? Are you people doing drugs or something? Did your wives leave you? Am I an outlet for pent-up stupidity?

Every stupid thing has happened to me this year. I honestly feel like I've been run over by a thousand bullet trains.

On top of that my sleep patterns are completely reversed (went to bed at 6AM this morning and woke up at almost 6PM~ I'm talking vampire shit, yo!), so I missed a message from Kostas and he's angry at me for replying to him late.

Y'know, I like it when people ask things of me, it makes me feel needed and stuff, but when you're rudely demanding things from others, and on top of that you are completely disregarding them and whatever might be going on in their lives right now, I just get mad. And I don't like getting mad.

*sigh* Withdrew applications from UAL and Guildhall.
Still considering Brunel as my first choice.

There's CSI:NY on tv tonight. I'm gonna watch.
Adios.

My mom brings in two envelopes today, mail from me that arrived at my old address.
One was a holiday card from bibsy (OMG thank you so much for sending me this, you're the best! *squishes*), and the other one was...

... the letter from University of the Arts London on auditions and stuff.

Which doesn't even make any sense because when I applied I used my current address not my old one, I moved here like 9 months before I'd even applied d'oh. I had used this address when I applied last year, but they rejected my application due to that stupid age restraint thing. Did they keep my old application for this year without letting me know? And why didn't they email me or something? First of all, trusting the Greek postal service is suicidal, and second, why the HELL would they use the old address when the new one is on my application for this academic year?

As a result, I cannot even think about applying there because the last auditions are, like, NOW.
Thanks guys. Thanks a lot.

Whatever, in my head I'm already a Creative Writing major, so screw them. I'll apply there when I finish this first degree, but by GOD they are IDIOTS. Not that I would audition now if I had the chance, I am sooo not ready for any sort of audition. I haven't done any theatre stuff in almost a year... I'm rusty. I need to brush up on things, and I can't do that in a rush and by myself.

Fuck it. Fuck it all.
But it annoys me because it's so freakin' RETARDED. I know the English are more than somewhat simple but not stupid-like-durrrrr. :P

But here's something that brightens up my face no matter what. Skeletal iraqi puppets with an accent!! XD

" 'alloooooooo! I am Lindsay Lohan!!"
XDDDDD I LOVE THIS MAN.

Three weeks ago I bought a mic+earphones headset for the computer, but the mic wouldn't work. I may have mentioned something. It was confirmed that it wasn't working, because I also took it to Elissaios's place to double-check it and it wouldn't work there either.
Well I took it to the guys where I got it from and left it at the tech desk to be looked at, and when I returned the dude said that it worked fine on his computer so it must have been a problem on my side, ie. my computer, sound card, settings, something.

I came home and plugged it in and it started working.
WHAT. THE. HELL.

O___o

But nevermind, all's good since it works. I don't care what was wrong with it. :P
I HAVE A MIC NOW YAY :D Expect voice-posts! ^~^

In other news, I am considering canceling my Guildhall application because I will not be ready in time without proper help. Kostas said he'll try to help me by asking around his uni (med school, orz) for someone who might be able to help me. If he doesn't find someone, which is what's most likely, I'm going to email Guildhall and tell them I can't be there for the audition because of an insane reason I'll make up at that moment, so cancel my application plzkthx.

I regret all that anguish and terror on the 15th of January when I was making my applications. Too much worry for nothing.
Plus it cost me my dad 45quid or something. (Eh well, it's not like I paid it anyway.)

*sigh* Procrastination sucks.
Which is why we all do it.

PODCASTING THIS WEEKEND!! :D ZOMGYAY~

Also lots of RPG-ness planned: Exalted on Saturday afternoon, and DnD on Sunday afternoon. We're still unsure over which DnD party it will be, since we have two open fronts (1~ the initial DnD party that I started with, where people have started to get fishy and unreliable and damn annoying and this will probably be the last session with them ever, and 2~ a new DnD party formed by people I met at an anime meeting, with whom I've had two downright AWESOME sessions and would like to keep it up because they rule). It all depends on whether the dudes form the 2nd party are available on Sunday, 'cuz if they are we're totally playing with them. ^~^ If they're not, we're going to have to take the last-session-ever option, just to take those people off our backs because they're such IDIOTS. >:P

And one last thing:
AMY IS COMING HOME YAYAYAY :D
Missed you so much! *hugs*

Today I have been on an anxiety spree regarding all things school, seeing that I let everything loose for the past week and I need to pick up on stuff again because I have a select few things to do and I have to do them right now... Studying, exams, theatre arts research commision and practical play analysis (aka, a paper researching a specific technical area of a theatrical tradition [I picked Commedia dell' Arte], and an analysis of an Elizabethan theatre play from a director's point of view)... In two weeks time I have my GUILDHALL AUDITION OMGZ. So I have to set up both my Shakespeare monologue and my modern theatre monologue.

All British universities require two audition monologues: one has to be from Shakespeare or one of his contemporaries (ie. Ben Johnson, Marlow, etc), and the other one has to be modern, usually by that they mean written after 1830, but some make it even more specific and say written after 1950 or something. Anyway, for my Shakespeare piece I have chosen a monologue of Imogen in Cymbelline by Shakespeare, Act III Scene IV.

( *insert Shakespearean monologue* )

My modern theatre piece I came across a few years ago when I was in summer school in America, it's a monologue written on a minor character in a play by the same author. She's a quirky, obsessive-compulsive high school student, who fantasizes about talking to an audience. Quite amusing, actually. The Absence of Gray Matter, by Josh Weckesser. Based on the character of Kim Kutledge from the play Gray Matter by Josh Weckesser.

( *insert funny contemporary theatre monologue * )

Especially the modern monologue I like a lot... It's really funny and I think I can pull it off nicely.
Anyway. Got to go set up the Shakespeare monologue, it's a pretty difficult one!
Tell me what you guys think, yes? :)

ps: I wrote a rather extensive review on Hoobastank's discography on Last.FM this morning. Check it out here if you've heard of them. If you haven't, I advice you NOT to get their latest album, it's LOUSY. :P Their other stuff is okay. ^^
pps: My sister cosplaying Saki Hanajima from Fruits Basket. :D That's what they say 'pretty in black', haha. ^_~

I just found out this morning that CAS papers are being sent to the IBO this Friday.
WHAT?!
This means I have two days to make my CAS papers and get my signatures, write the CAS essay, the journals for the activities, the self-evaluations... Uwaaaaaah! I think I can make it, but by the end of tomorrow I'll be a shaking pile of bones and flesh. So much stress!

It's my grandmother's birthday today. Rejoice. *pulls out and waves little triangular flags*
I also read somewhere that it's also World Sleep Day. *groan* I wish I could sleep all day!! >_<
I have to do most of my Theatre Arts portfolio today as well, so that I hand it in tomorrow and appease the predatory urges of my theatre arts teacher, who has suddenly assumed the role of the all-powerful authority figure *insert dramatic music* and is threatening to chop off heads. That, and also next Friday we're handing in the portfolio which must be organised into some specific form, and it must show our personal journey through the two years and shit like that.

I HATE THE GODDAMN IB. DIE DIE DIE.

The performance I'm directing for theatre arts will be put up next Friday. I'm struggling to get everything done, as the director. I think we'll be able to make it. On Friday I'll set up three more scenes and the interludes, and we'll be ready. Provided that the narrator learns his lines and shows up at the rehearsal, things will be fine. I'm so anxious about it though... >_< 

Hopefully I'm going home this evening. I need to do so many things, it's stressing me to no limits. The problem is that there's some sort of power problem at my place, so if it doesn't get fixed by the time I finish school, I'm gonna go over there and take the PC to my grandmother's. At least I'll be able to do the portfolio and the CAS things, even without the internet. I don't mind really, I don't need internet for this sort of thing now. GUH all the problems have gathered up now! Why?!?!

:(

Stressful things need to die. I want to relax goddamit, and that's not happening any time soon. Even when I'm done with classes (that's next Friday), I'll still have the revisions for the exams in May. Auditions are in April, if and only if universities don't file my application due to the fact that I won't be exactly 18 in September... RADA sent me an email saying "sorry, we didn't spot this in your application, come back next year".  *CRIES* T_T and when exams are over, I'll be waiting for the results of the auditions (I don't even know when I'm gonna get those) and the grades in July... Hopefully I will have passed the Diploma. >_<

In essence, I won't be fully relaxed until the final results are in, and until I know which university I'm going to, if I am going to uni this year at all. :( I really want to start this year, but if they all tell me that I'll be too young (WTF), I'm still going to London, maybe I'll take up a drawing/photography/photoshop class, whatever, get a job, get used to the city, have fun with Amy, that sort of thing... It's not the end of the world if I don't start this year. But I want to know dammit. >_< I won't rest until I know for sure.

~_~
I need to relax. All this anxiety and stress are bad for me. 
Make it end. Please.

:(

ps: And by the way Mazi Sou was awesome on Monday but my grandparents were talking with my uncle nearby so I missed most of the dialogues :P I will download the episode anyway... I need to make icons... God, the episode RULED!!
And in Para 5 I think the main characters died. Or, they almost died. And now Amalia will save them because she's an angel and they'll continue. But I'm pretty sure they died. Oo My grandmother looked at me as if to say "yeah right" but seriously... 

Oh, expect an entry on the differences between fangirls in Greece and the rest of the world. I was fired up the other day and started thinking about it. O___o Go figure.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF DRAMATIC ART AUDITION: 25 APRIL 2007!!!
Yay! :D I'm so excited!! ^__^

Also, I think my left wisdom tooth is beginning to descend. My mouth feels funny. Oo
I'm too young for this, dammit.

I finished school early today, and I would have held a rehearsal for that performance I'm directing if some stupid little girl hadn't thought that it got cancelled. She went and told everyone else that we wouldn't have a rehearsal today, and as a result, only Danai and myself, and Anna and Christina, were there when we were supposed to be. I couldn't hold a rehearsal with 3 out of 8 people. We went home.
I am seriously going to strangle someone tomorrow morning. I am running on a tight schedule and I can't have rehearsals being cancelled like that!! >_< By god, I'm bringing everyone in on Sunday to work overtime. I have to finish setting up the whole thing by the end of this week, and I don't care about people's obligations. I was nice today and allowed two girls not to come because they had homework and stuff, but they mistranslated "it's ok if you don't show up" to "hey everyone the rehearsal is cancelled". WTF?

Maybe being a bitch would shut them up and teach them to ask first before jumping to conclusions.
From now on I want everyone there, period.
>_<

But yay, RADA AUDITIONNNNN~!!
So happy. XD

I finished a lab report for Chemistry, I'll give it to the woman tomorrow. I'm not sure what other labs I owe her. Oo I'll ask her tomorrow at the risk of getting beaten with a baseball bat or some other heavy, painful-looking object.

Also, did I mention that I had no Psychology class today? ^__^ It was quite nice.

I am starting to feel very self-conscious about the way I look when I go to school, and I don't like it. I'm doing the usual thing that never gets me anywhere: trying to impress. I always fail in that. T_T I must stop doing it. I must get these silly notions out of my head. It's a hopeless case. Finito.

Need to go to bed I guess. I don't want to go to school ever again *groan* --OH COME ON KATH IT'S 3 MORE WEEKS YOU CAN MAKE IT.


ps: Sorry, this entry doesn't make any sense. x_X *baka*

In 15 minutes I have to go back to class. I don't want to.
I've been dry-coughing since last night.

But... but... I CAN'T BE SICK ONE DAY BEFORE THE THIRD PERFORMANCE!!! >_<
I'll spend the rest of the day tucked in my bed and drinking lots and lots of hot tea. I have to get better dammit!! O_<
I also feel like I have a fever... T_T

In Psychology class my teacher was talking to some people about their extended essays, so the rest of us were free to do whatever. I just rested upon my desk, and fell asleep. Woke up a few minutes before class was to end. I even had a dream! (which I don't remember anymore, but I remember it had a weird feeling to it). If it wasn't for that nap, I'd be crawling on the floors right now. I have no energy whatsoever.

In university news, Thames Valley University sent me an acknowledgement that they received my application, and that since their Drama programme is located at the Kingston University campus, my application has been forwarded to Kingston for consideration.
I also found another place to apply to, called London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). We were surfing uni sites with my mom and thought, why not?
So I have the applications to RADA and LAMDA left. And then, we hope for the best. I think 8 universities are enough already.

That is all for now. I have Theory of Knowledge nwo, and two hours of Theatre Arts after that.
Must remember to remind my teacher *rolls eyes* to take a last look at my extended essay. If he won't do it, I WILL. :P

ps: I love sick moodtheme!Raito. Evil gone nautious! LOL!
