Theatre, darling.
What-ho, poppets...
I had my Philosophy exam today and I totally...winged (?) it. Wung it? (help me!). I answered two and a half questions, lol, and got the hell out of there. I was in the exam room for about an hour, which I thought would never happen, lol, and wrote everything I could remember about the things I had studied (thankfully that stuff was actually in the exam). So, it's not likely that I'll pass with flying colours - if at all - but I obviously had to give it a go or else bad things would have happened. I'm just glad that it's over.
Friday will bring the last two exams and then that'll be that for semester one, and then I'll have a month holiday (yesss!!). A whole month to sleep in and watch TV and do nothing. Love it.
Saturday I went with my mother to the theatre (at the Opera House, you know) to see Waiting For Godot, for which she'd purchased tickets a few weeks back (which reminds me, I have to transfer some money to her, lol). It was awesome. I'd read the play last year for the first time during my English Literature course and just loved it...It was so far out, you know? Very different from anything else I read. So naturally I jumped at the chance to see the play on stage...With Sir Ian McKellen as Estragon. It was brilliant. Gobsmacking. His presence was amazing; the man is definitely a force onstage, even when he's playing a character as docile as Estragon. I can only imagine how magnetic he'd have been as King Lear or Iago (or Captain Hook, lol). I definitely feel lucky to have seen him.
Today I became a dot in the Michael Jackson tribute portrait :) Largely because I couldn't help myself, but also because it's only a few days away from the one year anniversary of his death and I really felt the need to do something, you know? And it really is a lovely gesture, this tribute portrait. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. If you're interested in joining me in being a small dot on a large portrait, check out:

It's free and quite the thing.
