A Few Things

I've been back for a little over a week now so you might be wondering what I've been up to (or not, but I'm going to talk about it anyway).

Theatre! I saw Time for the Good Looking Boy at the Gulbenkian Theatre on campus. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but I think it achieves what it aims to accomplish. It is definitely a show that is aimed at 14/15 year-olds (although it's advertised as 14+) and the audience full of school children seemed to respond well to it. I don't think I've ever been to a performance where there is cheering as the lights go down...before the performance.

This week I will be attending T:24's production of Women Laughing, also at the Gulbenkian. T:24 is the drama society at the University of Kent.

Archery! I am still doing archery (although it was cancelled this past Wednesday due to rain). I went today and there were very few people out there because of the cold. I'm not complaining - that means I don't have to queue to use a bow! On the other hand, until today I never realized exactly which muscles I was using...shooting constantly will show you pretty quickly.

NaNoWriMo! I have opted to participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for the fourth time. I've met with a group of lovely people at the local coffee shop for writing sessions (which sometimes admittedly turn into general goofing off). I'm at about 15k/25k words (25k is where you should be on the 15th of November, aka the middle of the month). It's still feasible to catchup, but perhaps I should start counting my blog posts in my word count...

Classes? Yup! And of course I am still going to classes, even if it doesn't seem like it according to this blog.
