EHU Final Year- Twenty Ninth Week

Monday

DAY OFF PHONE, TV AND SOCIAL MEDIA- READ ABOUT THIS DAY IN MY LAST BLOG POST

Tuesday

I woke up to GREAT news of a line of viewings set up in Liverpool tonight for next year. Hopefully I get something sorted this week and everything is in place. I am hopeful and excited about one TOUCH WOOD so we shall see.

I headed into Uni for my diss rehearsal, where I had a lecturer sit in on part and watch the movement. The feedback was that she loved the material and was about questioning the set and intentions moving on and off it. I am now even more excited to show my work. We went through a task- where we were then left for keeping the talk confidential, between me and the dancers, and left with some connections and an upbeat energy.

Straight after I NEEDED a catch up with one of my friends where we went for our day early coffee/breakfast date. It was so nice having had that day to myself to be able to process and talk through everything I needed and she is a wonderful beautiful support.

From here I went straight around town and in and out of tattoo shops with another mate (she got one and was so brave and chill getting it I was unbelievably proud). In the gym I ended up doing more than I expected. My longest run so far, stair climber AND THEN HER LEGS BUM AND TUM CLASS. I was dying but felt so energetic and upbeat/positive after. The stretch I did to end was perfect and needed.

I feel good in myself.

I didn't get back into my flat into late evening, where it was cooking, flat cleaning (physical clearing helps with the mental) and then some yoga reading before bed. I have loved these two very different days and both have supported me in different ways.

Wednesday

Happy sunny profuctive day. I was woken up by the university to arrange another meeting for tomorrow morning, no lie in then.

I was up and on the train towards Liverpool. The journey wasn't that bad and I got to read my book (which I haven't done for AGES). I viewed my first flat in Liverpool and was reminded of my FAVORITE street- Bold Street. It is full of 'hippy' stores, but all about being good for the earth and some beautiful products. It was a challenge to not buy anything but I knew wherever I live next year I cannot wait to explore Liverpool. I know I am making the right decision living there and commuting in.

I had a short break where I got to continue reading my book AND THE WEATHER WAS SO NICE before viewing the second place.

I loved the second and put in an offer. I could see myself there. A stones throw away was the Walker Art Gallery. I have wanted to go here for a while, and saw the opportunity. It was stunning. Just one whole room of sculptures, one of clothes and then this never ending maze upstairs of paintings and exhibitions. It even has a 'create your own' room where you can sit and draw/colour for as long as you want- yes its for adults.

Home early evening I finally get a really late lunch, early dinner before getting some admin done and then into the Uni for rehearsal.

Thursday

Friday

Its my travel home day. The more I am on a train and the mroe I move in my daily life the more i struggle sitting on a train. I did a quick few stretches when no-one was sat by me (didn't want the strange looks). I missed my connecting train, due to my first train being delayed and had an hour wait.

With all my bags and nowhere to sit it wasn't idela but I had to keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason. The next train arrived earlier so I was on 30 mins early so i was able to bag a table and socket seat and began drafting up some letters. Creativity hits me at random moments and so I know I always have to carry my work with me so I can attack it with this professional mind that just overpowers me. This was one of those ah-ha moments.

Once home I was EXHAUSTED. Today is a burn out day.

Starting at 22:30 GMT, the embodying trauma conference was live-streamed. As I sat with my headphones on upstairs taking notes I am always reminded of how much information is around us. So many opportunities. We need to learn to see them in our minds eye, in a positive light, and then they start to show themselves.

I wasn't able to stream every lecture of this first day, due to an early start, but I found so much of it resonating and building bridges between the old and new knowledge. I AM SO EXCITED TO BE A THERAPIST.

Saturday

Today I headed into London to watch 'the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime'. IT WAS AMAZING. The set was minimal but relied on such intricate and organised technological cues and secret compartments where props appeared onto the stage or people disappeared into. It was a moving story, hilarious and HAD A LIVE PUPPY.

The whole day in London was beautigul, after the matinee we headed to Ballie Ballerson. I need to play more in soft play areas and then maybe I will be one step closer to my flips. Then into carying food stalls, live music and bars.

I missed London and how there is ALWAYS something to do and moving from one amazing moment into another.

Sunday

Home really early, today is a rest day at home.
