Well i was going to do just drama but decided i needed something else to do aswell and i like business i no i am v strange hehe
im in southlands college cos its really nice and was worried i would end up in the nast old hallsof the digby bit i think i have more money that 30 pound got maximum loan so im lucky there hehe
u moving in on the 17th?
i am so nervous but v excited have u been to look around yet then?
maybe we shall see each other at uni then?:biggrin:
lol, at least u'll be able to do something with the business aswell. can't really do a lot with the drama. maybe do a bit of extra work in eastenders or something like that, but not much.
(I'll hope to be like winston, who was an extra, but then became not an extra, but he does seem to be missing of late. hmmmm)

ahhh, as soon as i saw lee house in digby, i knew that i needed to get in there. just for the lounge/kitchen for the parties.

my parents earn just more than i want em to, so i dont get any bursarys or grants or anything.

Yep, i'll be moving in on the 17th, and probably out on the 18th lol.
I only went to one open day (cuz i live in bham) and had a lil look around, you?
Maybe we shall see each other around then lol.

ooo, have u registered your online module thingys??
im sure u will be able to do something with drama hehe even if it is just an extra in eastenders but u could make ur self noticed as an extra hehe
southlands halls are also really nice i saw lee house and it did look amazing but southlands was slightly cheaper so thats what swung it for me
i think every1gets a 500 pound bursary from roehampton but u dont get the 1st half of it till feburary so u will just have to live on beans and bread until then
i regestered my module things but not a picter how about u? i looked round at one open day but live miles away from london!
I suppose i could streak around albert square, but i doubt it would get in the final cut, so would have to do something else. any suggestions??
Ye, southlands halls were quite nice.
Ahh, i think i may need that money lol

Which groups did you select for your modules for drama?

So why you choosing Roehampton if you live miles away??
well im only doing 3 out of the 6 modules of drama as im doingjoint honours i only do half the course if that makes sense well for the 1st year anyway and i am in goup Thinking Through Theatre Group 7 Fri am, Performance ProjectGroup 5 Thu am, Approaches to Drama 1 Group 5 Fri pm how about you?
Chose roehampton cos i really wanted to be in london the course looked great not many unis let u mix dram and business etc etc but very glad i chose it! how about u if u r coming all the way from birmingham what made u choose roehampton?
did u get the freshers week pack? did u send of that money or are u just going to go with the flow? i dont no what to do hmm im very nervours bout making friends etc?
have you come straight from 6th form or college then? what did u do before?:biggrin:
Ye, that makes sense, i think i chose group 2 or 3 for the ones that u've chose. I know that i've got friday off though.
Well ideally i wanted to go to warwick, but i knew realistically, no chance. So i looked for somewhere else, and found chester uni, n that course for drama looked alrite. And was gonna choose that, but then realised that i might want some backup choices, incase i dont get in. And i'd have to look at the uni's i'd choose for backup, bcuz i dont want to end up in any crappy uni. So i went about looking at a few i could use for backup, and found Roehampton, and after reading the details of the course, knew that i had to choose this one. Partly bcuz of the amount of choice you get in 2nd year, so can practically do what i want to do lol.

I got the pack ye, but after results day i went on holiday for a week, so only got it when i came back. I sent off for the pass, but doubt that there will be any left, so will be going along with the flow. you?

I'm so nervous aswell, esp. about the making friends bit. I've been advised to take loads of alcohol, that almost always ensures friends lol.

Yes, straight from college. in the year just gone i Did Drama, Business, and AS law.
yourself???

Less than 14days until we start!!!!!
I no how scary less then 2 weeks!
im going to send of for the pass but forgot about it so now i very much doubt i will get one so will just have to go along with the flow! o well hope to make friends will have to take alcohol and maybe that will help!
i have just finished college did a national dimploma in peforming arts wich was good but think roehampton will be miles better!
i have mondays of so get a long weekend wich will be well good! have u heard back about the modules then? i have not so i hope they got it.
wonder if we will acctually bump into each other! hmm
I'm crapping it, i think i've got everything that i need, but dunno tho. how bout you? you got everything, or u still need to get a few things?
Ah, how was the course? was a lot of it practical?
I thought about having mondays off. I think i could have had both monday and friday off lol, but i would have had to do more than one lecture a day then, and i dunno if that would be the best thing. I was confused about which groups to pick though.

Haven't heard anything, only done modules today lol.
have you sent off for your student card? or are you gonna get one when you get ther?

We probably will bump into each other somewhere along the line, but we probably wont know it.
I know, you just have to look for the dude sitting alone in the corner with no friends, and no alcohol because its all been robbed. and that will be me! lol
well then u might also find me easily i will be in the other corner sat on my own with no friends and no money and no food or alcohol. havnt sent of for my student card think i might do it when i get there
yep i am also crapping it very scared now its getting so close i have nearly everything need to get a tv and a tv liscene but thats about it.
no doubt i will ghet there and have forgotten the most important thing but o well!
the course i did before was very good alot of practical and i had to sing and dance wich is never a good combination but i got to peforme at a theatre for a week so that was really good.
how did u find the drama a level!
its good to have someone to talk 2 thats in the same situation!
Lol, i'll be on the lookout then in the corners.
Ye, im gonna do it when i get there as well.

Are you taking a laptop or anything like that??
I'm not taking a television, i can't afford the license even if i was lol.

Lol, singing and dancing, what a combination.
performing at the theatre sounds quite cool.

A level drama was alrite. Had some alrite teachers. 2nd year was betta and worse, a better year for drama, as had to do a devised section, and also adapt a play. but some people in my class took a disliking to me for some strange reason lol. but apart from them it was good ye.

Lol, it is great to talk to someone in the same situation. I'm expecting to get down to roehampton, everyone to be fantastic at drama, alll be sorted out and organised, and everyone to know each other and already be best friends. so am a bit scared.

I nearly have everything. well i think i do, but i always think of new things that i need lol

Well even if you don't get one, there are going to be more students without one, than there is with them.
