UCAS and CUKAS drama school applications

Hi beautiful thespians,
So it is coming up to that time of year again when its time to start getting those Drama school applications in! I'm so excited and nervous already about it all. Especially because up until an hour ago I couldn't find a sutible monologue as a contempary. But finally I've got it. Anyway this post is a little database on some of the drama school's available via the UCAS and CUKAS website's with some basic infomation. Now with UCAS and CUKAS there is a £16 fee (CUKAS) and a £23 fee (UCAS). You can only apply to up to five school's on UCAS.

A Mix of News Overall...

Hello,
So today, as you might of guessed from the title has been what I would call a extreme mix of emotions day. So where do I start off.

The Bad News:
1. I have been rejected from MMU for this year. - Of course this is the most gutting news, especially since I received it on a bus therefore no where to run and cry in a corner. This may be a good thing as if I do want to be a Actor I need to grit my teeth and continue through the course of it all. But even the most hard hearted of us all would be a little gutted to be rejected from two of you're top three choices in one week. (Tip 7. Remember to space out favourite places to avoid this in future.) However I must carry on because I want it so bad.
2. It is that time of the month. - Yeah maybe this is too much information for you but it has not helped matters of the above by making me extra emotional then I would usually be.

The kinda in the middle news:
1. I got a D in my politics mock. - It's kinda bad because a D is not a brilliant grade to get in any A2 mocks. But then it's kind good because a) I really struggle with exams therefore this is a really good baseline for me and b) It is not a fail which is rather excellent.
2. I got my report on the dyslexic assessment that was carried out on me. - This is neither good or bad, it's just informative on how my brain works, which I have never understood and probably never fully will.

The Good News: :D
1. I got an A* in my Textiles mock, which I have to say I am immensely chuffed about this news. I have never got such a good grade in a mock before and I have to admit it took the pressure slightly off my thinking that I would be seriously struggling when we came up to April and May.
2. I have decided what I want to do for my Birthday (18th eeek!) I am going to on my Birthday have a Harry Potter Drinking Game with all my friends and have a Dominoes (which I can never afford therefore I am treating myself in the big event.) and THEN a week later I get to go to the Harry Potter Studios!!!!!!!!! I am so excited I cannot believe I will have that privilege of going to the halls which graced so many of our best actors.
3. My Drama Centre email has come through so I can now book the day of the audition. I have been looking forward to that audition as it is based within Central Saint Martins and it would be the ultimate thing to study along side all the arts students!

^So yeah, for a day of getting news it has been big. Fact.
I am now going to gloat at being a A* potential student and cheer myself up my buying loads of new books online after the rejections ;'( . But I do love a new book, which believe me is a rare thing for a Official dyslexic and dyspraxic student to say.

Now adios,
Terri ;D
