So my blog and I have not been the best of friends over the past few weeks, but I have decided to give in and buckle, Hollie is a very easy distraction and sometimes its easier to entertain her then sit down and write pages and pages of words!
So from the first campus session I didn't learn much I felt that I had sat in on a Russian lesson as I walked out the door, none of the information had processed and I had no idea what so ever what I was supposed to be doing. So a decision was made I either stick my head in the sand until the 5Th May or I have a crack at the work and use the trial and error process, weather this was successful or not I'm not sure but at least I have something to work with.
On receiving my module handbook I became dizzy. There were to many words on each page, and the fact I was unsure of my objectives the finishing line grew further and further away so I left it to one side and decided it was defiantly a job to do small amounts of but regularly.
I began whittling down my options...
What was always present in my life?
What aspects have changed my acting life?
What subject will interest me for 6 months?
What subject will interest other people, to make it worth the research?
I realise some of you may be sick of hearing about the fact I recently became a mother, however this is a permanent fixture in my life and also the reason why I took this course rather then A standard 3rd course so I began to think about my situation and how the different factors have affected my future plans.
Having a child has put my career aims on hold, being a Mum and a West End star is something that I'm not comfortable with epically while Hollie is so young, you see Hollywood mums giving birth and being back on set the next day - some of them don't even bother with the whole pregnancy thing and adopt one.
So this became a choice however I was not sure which angle to take on the subject...
- Unemployed because I'm a Mum
- Is there and age limit to acting, or can I wait that extra 4 years till Hollie is in school?
- Has having a child ruined my chances of a sparkling acting career?
