i will try and keep this short...

OK so i had my first mountview audition on thursday - here's a quick rundown of the day
STAGE ONE:
46 people got split into 2 groups, my group went and did the dance first for an hour (i was apparently in the 'advanced' group, having danced before, but there were some real doozies in there. if you are in an advanced dance group and have to ask what a channe turn is, you're in the wrong room.) after the dancing we swapped with the other half and went and did our singing: a little intimidating, cos we had to sing in front of everyone. i got through my first song no worries, was quite pleased with it actually, especially seeing as i had been developing a cold perisistently for a day or two.
SO after this we all went into a room and waited while they deliberated on who to call back. Luckily i was one of 8 who got called back (yay me!) so we then went off to stage two.
STAGE TWO:
we got split again into 2 groups of 4, i went off with 3 other girls for the acting part - we had to do our shakespeare monologues, then our contemporary monologues, relatively painless. then we swapped again and went and had a bit of a sing again, doing our second song - over in a flash! So i thought i was done for the day, we went and had a little chat to the registrar, she told us all about fees and scholarships etc, we were ready to go, then surprise:
STAGE THREE!!:
this was just for four of us, the head of the course wanted to see us sing - i am yet to decide if this is a good or a bad thing, cos they said it just meant that the panel hadn't made up their minds on us yet, whereas with the other four they had made a decision one way or another... so now i just have to wait a couple of weeks to see if they're offering me a spot or not - hundreds of people audition, and they only take about 36, so please keep your fingers crossed!
on FRIDAYme and mum went to my aunt/godmothers place in guildford, hung out there for the day, went out for dinner that night (seeing as she couldn't make it out for my birthday like she planed to, we had a little celebration - jewellery and champagne were involved)
SATURDAY we went to mum's best friend's place in knebworth, hung out there for the day, went to dinner that night (seeing as they also couldn't come out for my birthday, the celebrations continued - more jewellery and champagne) then on
SUNDAY we went to another family friend's place in rickmansworth, hung out there for the day, then came back to the hotel and craaaaassssshhhheeddd - sleep is my friend.
today (MONDAY) we're about to go to chelsea westminster hospital to visit mum's goddaughter and her little girl, who's only 2 and a half but been in and out of hospital her whole life - she's an ANGEL and i'm quite excited to see her now - i shall put some pics up next time.
i'm off for my second audition tomorrow, then home on wendesday! yay!

sorry, that was meant to be short.
