21.11.10

Just a quickie to say I really dont regret leaving college, Panto is awesome and I get paid to do something id be up for doing for free so result!

15.11.10

Well as usual a lot has happened since I last blogged.
This time it has been

• Ross's 21st birthday party
• Ive dropped out of college
• I got a new job at the theatre for panto
  
• i told dad/tory that I wasn't going to visit for christmas
  
• I went up to visit Dad/Tory for Ben/Max's naming/birthday party.
  

To start, Ross's birthday party was really good fun and there was lots of banter and gin to be had and I think every one had a really good time, especially Ross who was wasted but in a really fun way :D

So I dropped out of college, still not 100% sure if i made the right choice but I don't think i'll regret it and it's not like i'm never going back to further education, there's still uni to think about and all that.

My new job. The reason from dropping out of college, the reason I went to college was to fill time while I was looking for a job, I then got offered a job, college wouldn't let me take it and stay on the course, so i left. Simples!

Due to it being Panto season and I have now got shows on xmas eve and boxing day i cant go to dads for xmas, to be honest its slightly a relief because im really looking forward to having a xmas where im not woken up like 2 hours after ive gone to sleep to open presents!

My weekend was nice going up north, however this has made me slightly suspicious that dad wants something from me, but i suppose only time will tell...

11.11.10

Well today was pretty intense, I went to work and then epically failed a mock driving test which Ismail pretty normal, but then I got an email from the theatre asking me to come in to have a chat about working on panto. I got really excited and went and everything and tub they told me I had to be available every single day, and cause I have college and stuff that isn't possible, however if I can persuade my lecturer that doing this job is a good idea the job is mine, and I have until 4pm tomorrow to male it happen, so I emailed my lecturer and literally begged him to let me take the Jo and promised that I would keep up with all the work, but I'm just gonna have to wait and are, cause if it is happening I start on Monday, if it doesn't I'm gonna e gutted, and tbh if I hadn't got my saas through I would probs just drop out of college to do it!!!

Ahhh!

10.11.10 - again

Well Ive decided to give the old blog a facelift,

so thats what ive done..


hope it is pleasing..

10.11.10

Well this weekend has been eventful to say the least. Lets start from the top shall we.

On Thursday I had an argument with Jamie becuase he wasnt supporting me in applying a work placement in Edinburgh because we would never see each other. We went to sleep still angry at each other. - not a good shout!

Friday - Was ridiculously awkward with jamie and I don't think we've ever said so little to each other over that amount of time. After lunch I go to the cash machine to get some money out to pay for lunch and all my money is gone, I go to the bank and find out ive been a victim of fraud and that my card has been copied and my account has been emptied in Columbia. - Bad times!

Friday Night - I was working the fireworks, I was incredibly tired, cold and grumpy and decided that it would be a brilliant idea to tell Jamie exactly how I felt about our relationship.
I phone Jamie and tell him that I think he's being over protective and that we were becoming too comfortable, it was like the anticipation and excitment levels had dropped in our relationship, I know this is normal, because we've been together for so long but Ive always loved a bit of drama, it keeps me on my toes and keeps things exciting!

Saturday morning - Working. All day. Well till 4pm - it was horrible! Got on the bus to go and see Jamie, completely uneasy about the whole thing because don't know how things will be between us after my little performance the night before. jamie pretty much acted as if nothing had happened.. or at least thats how it felt. We had tea with his parents, went over to Pauls and headed into town with everyone and ended up going to Dusk (my first ever time) Me and Jamie buy a drink and end up sitting down and having a massive chat.. we both get really upset and its horrible but then we decide that there isnt that much more we can do tongiht so went to dance and then went home.. went to sleep - still pretty awkward.

Sunday - i get up and mum comes to pick me up. I drive home. Its generally a bit of a rubbish day. I go to work I come home. I sleep.

Monday - Go to work. Come home from work. Jamie comes over, we end up having another massive talk but this time we actually get somewhere and things are kinda sorted. Im still not 100% sure about my feelings on the whole situation but we're trying to sort stuff.

So yeah, thats my weekend. Pretty eventful as I said. But yeah. Thats my story.

Imma back

Hey Hey
Yeah It's been forever, but in my defence I did kinda leave school, go to NYC, France and been working and started college and generally been using the internet on my ipod and it wont let me use blogger on it :(

Anyway, the general rundown of just now.
Im studying Music Business HND, it's really good and I've met a bunch of people that are really nice and all interested in similar things to me which I always love. Plus there is a pool table in the union and loads of new people to play :D

Work is awesome right now, This summer our group of friends got really close which was amazing, however half of them are off to University in the next couple of days and there will only be 4 of us left :( Ive had an awful lot of fun this summer and cant wait til everyone comes back at christmas :D

Jamie is still Jamie :D We had our one year anniversary at the end of August which was awesome. Not so much the day, becuase i just went to Jamies and then went to sleep, cause he had kungfu and i got bored waiting so read my book and fell asleep and promptly spent the rest of the evening asleep, i had fun though.

This week I have Julie (my french exchange partner) over from France and it's loads of fun, even though im at college she's still here which is nice :D Tomorrow we're going to Edinburgh which is going to be such a laugh cause all the host partners are going too :D

That's pretty much everything tbh

Last day of school 10/5/10

So yeah. That's me done then. well not really I still have to go in for 4 exams and a NAB but thats me done with my lessons. Im out of that school, into the big bad world. Am I scared... oh yes! Am I excited.... very much so. I can't believe the day has come around so quickly that I'm finished. But I can't wait to see what the future holds and what the next couple of years have in store for me..

Lets go find out

:)

I love him sooooooooo much!

So today was pretty ace. My aunt, uncle and cousin from Australia are over visiting. It was really good fun, we went for lunchup at the golf club and then went back to ours, played mario kart and then Jamie appeared and we played more mario kart and then David pulled out the triva questions and tbh I think we were doing that for at least an hour and a half... i properly knew like none of them. Anyhoo then we played Cluedo, me and Jamie were in a team and we kicked ass, we won the first round easy! Second round we had the weapon but Uncle J made a guess and won :L

Then after a bit it was late and Jamie had to go home, we didn't go on skype last night, but we lay there chatting on the phone for ages, just talking about life and what were gonna do. It was awesome. I do love him very much, he makes me incredibly happy :D

BTW my friends (From Jamie's band) Aaron and his girlfriend Sammi got engaged yesterday.... it was sooooooo lovely. It was ace, cause everyone except Sammi knew it was going to happen. As I said cute as anything. Well anyway I should probably be going to have some breakfast before I go to school and get my leavers form signed.. (last offical day :()

Love you long time

27.04.10

well today was ok I guess.. I discovered that I am going to fail higher english. period.

26.4.10

Today Today Today... well Today was a Monday. I went to school,had my double free where I put all the equipment from Friday away and studied some history...then had a break, then actual history class where the fire alarm went off. I wasn't too impressed, this is the second last lesson we are having with Mr.Deans before the exams and i am a TAD stressed. Then I had music where I did sweet FA which annoyed me a bit cause im not overly confident in that and I know that I could have been doing so much more constructive stuff with my time but I was just doing what I was told.

Then it was lunch, I grabbed some grapes and headed for what has to be the LOUDEST library in the world and I tried to study, however younger people kept coming up to be and asking me questions like "what are you doing?" it was rather irritating.. Then after lunch I had double WWO it was pretty fun, we had to fill out our booklets to say what we did for our fundraising thing and how we went about it, was a tad tricky as only two of us in our group had actually done anything for the event the others had just sat about and done sweet FA.

Annnnnyyywhoooo Big news of the day.. I cut my hair.... like myself. Cut my fringe in so it sits across my face like proper.. haha I don't know if Im going to regret it yet or not, ah well we shall wait and see :)

Well Im actually rather of the sleepness so I shall bid you farewell

Love

omg shit has CHANGED!

Well I just went through all of my old posts, bloody hell things have changed, well they have and they haven't, It was interesting to read and how easily all the memory comes flooding back.

I gave J this address today.. I'm now not sure about it because like he picked up on spelling and bits and pieces that tbh shouldn't matter and don't matter. It's not the point of this blog. But still I know he didn't know that but it did hurt a little that I effectively let him inside my head and gets at my spelling :( ahh well, it's not really that important :)

I am a tad worried about if he goes back and reads through all the random shit and how petty I was and the boyfriends of days past and the like, I know he doesn't care but like I dunno it's something I don't like to think of, Jamie with someone else, like a while back he was telling me about his ex and then stopped and the sentence has just been spinning round and round my head ever since, I don't want to know but then again I'm curious, what was life like before he knew me, he says it was crap but how am I supposed to believe that.. I don't know.
Well I suppose I should try and sleep...

Just another weekend...

So this weekend I had a great time. On Friday night I had what is known as a McGarryokie Night, it's basically an open mic night where people who are pupils and expupils perform covers and original music and that.. it was a MASSIVE success, we raised £658 for The Institute Of Cardiovascular Research. - we did it for them becuase they deal with heart problems and strokes and one of my best friends has recently got a pace maker, so its all quite close to home.

Saturday, I got up and I studied and studied cause I am a cool kid like that... and my first exam is in less than a month haha... then I went through to Stirling and met up with Jamie (the new boyfriend- well he's not really "new" we've been together for 8 months now) and go to his gig with his band The Colony (who i have now made my personal mission to help get them a following) when I got to the venue, I will admitt I was a tad worried, there was like no p.a kit, the lights didn't work cause there had been flooding and stuff, plus the other bands were a little bit.. i dunno none of us got a good feeling from them. Then we went for subway - yay! and then back to the venue for doors... no one pitched up... then at like 20 past most of Jamie's mates pitched up and it started getting really fun. The rest of the evening just got more and more enjoyable and because we were all a little tiddled and we were all mates with The Colony we were all rather excitable when they came on, and regardless of the poor sound quality and the fact pete (the singer) counldnt hear himself so was rather flat it was probably the most fun I have had at a gig in a long time, and as much as I didn't really like the style of music the boys played last time I went to one of their gigs this time generally the actual music was so much more to my taste which was awesome, becuase tbh Im not gonna say it was amazing and I loved it if I didn't but I did and I had a great time. Unfortunatly after the gig was over and we'd been to a pub for a couple of drinks then decided to go to a nightclub I didn't get in becuase the bouncer unfortunatly could actually count up to 18, knew I was only 17 so me and Jamie went home and went to bed..

Today was pretty good, woke up, was handed toast, got up and bought cake, went for a nice walk and then got the bus home, had waffles for lunch, studied for the majority of the afternoon and then watched Doc.Who (OMG I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE NOW!!!) and then studied some more, then "rediscovered my internet identity" which was nice haha
hence the blogging.. Im going to try and keep it up for the majority of summer if I can.

Well night (:

well hey there....

So yeah, it'sbeenrather a long time since i've written here and I know I said I was done completely, but it doesnt hurt to check in every once in a while.. right?

So yeah, Life...its pretty busy atm, generally with highers being about a month away and having a joba nd a boyfriend and what not. you begin to lose track of where you are and what you want to do.

I want to be able to live for the moment, wake up and decide i want to do something/go somewhere and then just do it. no need to think of anything else-just go with your insticts and do what feels right for you right then.

that it what i wish for.

hmm

Its been two years. Feels like it was only yesterday i was being told the news. I cant believe it. I managed not to cry, i guess im getting numb to the feeling. either that or maybe i am just getting over it. I dunno.
But anyway, its that time of year again. and i couldnt go and visit him because i had to go to PYO :(

CV and things and stuff

Personal profile:

Adaptable and ambitious with effective organisation skills keen to take on the daily challenges and rewards of working. Enjoys Arranging meetings or events and able to exercise good judgement and sound reasoning. An effective team worker with excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the to organise and motivate staff.

Interests & Hobbies and other relevant information

I am involved in many activities within school and the local community. I have been a member of the school Netball team for the last three years and have been Captain for the past season, I have also been a member of the school Hockey team and through that I have achieved a UKCC level 1 coaching award. I have been on three school ski trips and achieved level 3 ESP international skier qualification. I enjoy acting, singing and being involved in the technical side of theatre, as a result of this I have been in two school shows and a one act play and was a member of the Perth Youth Theatre company for two years. I spend a lot of my time on my music and have achieved my Grade 5 violin and Grade 2 Music Theory, both Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. I have also recently been successful in auditioning for the Perth Youth Orchestra. I am also a member of the school choir and school String group who have both competed in Perform in Perth. I also enjoy reading, going to live music, swimming and writing. I have a good knowledge of computer skills including word and excel.

I have basic French skills. I was a member of the school pupil council for a year.

personal statement

Every little girl wants to become a pop star and see themselves on MTV or Top of the pops. Instead I have always been fascinated by the way that the technical crew and management worked.

Ever since I was young I have always been drawn to the music industry. When I was five my parents bought me my first violin and I started lessons soon after. Then when I was nine my parents renovated an old hay loft and cattle shed on the farm we lived on into a music venue. I remember going to my first live gig and being in complete awe at the confidence and skill that the performers seemed to have and the way that the backstage crew could work together, sometimes without even speaking and create an appropriate atmosphere for their performer to work in. From then I have never looked back.

Meeting so many different members of the music industry throughout my childhood has inspired me, not to be in a band and be famous, but be the person behind the famous face, to go out and find the talent and make them into the next big thing. I have good organisation skills that I have developed through my work at Quake Central Sounds as a stage manager and through my involvement with school productions and events. I love to know that I'm the one behind the scenes making everything run smoothly. I have tried my hand at performing and have been involved in school shows and theatre productions. I also have had to do presentations and talks at year and house assemblies so I have the confidence to stand in front of a large group of people and perform or speak and get my message across in a simple yet effective way.

To think that I will be out in the workplace dealing with problems and overcoming difficulties appeals to me. I am a strong team leader but can also take direction and appreciate other peoples opinions. Through my work in The Meikle Restaurant at Crieff Hydro I have learnt how to deal with difficult customers and make them feel at ease.

I love to learn new things and I take every opportunity I can. I have been on many school trips both within Scotland and abroad. My experience on the French Exchange gave me a glimpse into a different culture and made me more confident about being somewhere I'm not familiar with and only have a basic understanding of the language. I always aim to be the best, I don't ever settle for “second best” or “scraping through,” because of this I have developed a very good work ethic, in my studies and in the workplace.

Overall I'm an enthusiastic student who wants to be the best that I can possibly be. I am an effective team worker and I know that I have the qualities, attitude, skills and qualifications to be an asset to your team and I look forward to discovering what I can do for you.
