The start of summer marks, for some, the end of a period of studying. This was the case with me last year, but the arrival of summer now marks a failure to have got into drama school in this cycle of applications.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't 100% convinced this year that drama school was the right path for me at this stage of my life and so only applied to 2 courses this year. Sadly I realised I did want to go down that path, but the schools obviously thought it wasn't the right time! Not to be disheartened, I have picked myself up from my rejections and have formulated a cunning plan (or series of plans) to strengthen my application for next year.
I'm not really one for those wishy-washy statements like "everything happens for a reason", but I am hopeful that some good will come out of this. This will allow me the opportunity to gain experience, better myself as a performer, and extremely importantly (as other PG applicants for drama school will know) to raise funds!
Tune in, follow my progress for the next year (and foreseeable future), and all shall be revealed!
Yours faithfully,
