Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, As most of you have probably already seen on my Instagram, a couple months ago now, me and my parents went on a road trip to Durham to visit the university there. I thought it would be a wise idea to apply to other universities apart from Cambridge so that I would have more options in the future should anything not go to plan. And that's why I chose Durham because it was a good university and I also heard many good things about it from people at work who said they had studied there. I had actually wanted to visit Durham during their open day but of course this open day just so happened to fall at the exact same time as the open days at Cambridge which I suppose is typical. Both Cambridge and Durham are pretty competitive institutions to enter and I suppose they want you as an applicant to be selective with your decisions and narrow your choices down. It was quite annoying but I took to the internet and researched other wa...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, On Saturday, as you may have seen on my Instagram, I went into Cambridge with my sister to go to Creams and to buy something for my mum for Mother's Day. Last year, we didn't do anything special because we don't really care that much about Mother's Day but I did help out my mum doing a few things. This year however, me, my sister, and my dad decided to step it up a bit and we decided to get her a present. Before we did that though, we went into town to go to Creams at Cambridge Leisure Centre. I think it's safe to say that having dessert for lunch is pretty awesome every once in a while. Lol. After an hour and a half drive on the bus, a very stuffy disgusting bus may I add, we finally arrived in town. We decided to walk the fairly long walk to Leisure because we thought it was a good idea to take some fresh air after that bus ride. Especially since my sister forgot her inhaler! There wasn't a lot of p...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, This week, I performed in my school's production called Come Alive. As I've mentioned before, over the past two months or so, I've been rehearsing the IB dance rock 'n' roll number as well as the musical theatre Come Alive performance school piece for the show and this week, I was finally able to show my work. Due to the current Covid-19 situation, the show had to be spread out across three nights so that we didn't have too many people in the audience at once. As a result, we all performed on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, and my performances were largely a success. I really liked dancing in front of a real life audience as, with the pandemic, I wasn't able to do that. It's been nearly two years since I've done a show so to be able to dance in front of people again, was really refreshing. I know that this aspect of the performance world really suffered during the pandemic, so I think...
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Recently, I watched series 1 of Tiny Pretty Things. It's a Netflix series that is centred around ballet and dance, and it also stars Brennan Clost who played Daniel on the Next Step, my favourite TV show growing up. Tiny Pretty Things first aired last year and since then, I have heard a lot of people talking about it so I thought that I would give it a go and provide you with my very own review. To give you guys a brief synopsis of the plot, in the series one of the dancers called Cassie from the ballet academy in Chicago (where the series is set), gets pushed off of the roof of the academy by an unknown attacker. Although she survives this attack, Cassie is found in coma inside the hospital, with doctors unsure as to whether she will survive. Due to Cassie's condition, she gets replaced in the company by another dancer called Neveah. No one in the company initially welcomes Neveah as they all feel intimidated by h...
