This is my thought for the day. Seriously. It’s true!

1. I have to use all the kids in the class.
Unlike an open audition situation, I can’t turn anybody down. They’re all paying to participate in this class and all need to have an opportunity to perform in the show, since that’s, you know, the whole POINT of being here!

2. I can only use them all once.
Although the script says it would work, doubling them up isn’t really possible, since they’re all pretty decent sized parts and having kids rushing around trying to change their costumes mid-show would add another whole layer of confusing.

3. There’s only one perfectly right way to do this.
Ok – so maybe this one isn’t quite true, I’m sure there’s more than one child who could play some of the parts, but there’s certainly a BEST way…I just haven’t found it yet!

Yep. Kids theatre. Exactly like a Sudoku puzzle! Hopefully once the other adults involved have a think about who would fit into which role, we might be able to make some decisions!

I am not impressed with you today. I woke up this morning and went to check my account, only to discover a problem. I have been suspended! After the initial panic of “Oh noes what’d I do!? Did I break the internets!?” I realised I could submit a support ticket to find out exactly what kind of “strange activity” I had been engaging in.

It transpires that I have apparently been participating in abuse. Yup. That’s ALL it says! I am completely confused. I replied to the support ticket saying that I believe I have been hacked¹, and asking whether they can provide me with examples of my “abusive” use of Twitter…

Unfortunately I have heard from other people that suspended accounts often do not get restored, which makes me a very sad panda, since I was rather attached to it, and to all my lovely followers!

So. It looks like I might have to make another one and start again. Am currently trying to think of a suitable username. AdventuresOfHolly is too long, sadly.

Any ideas?

1. Without my knowledge? Surely not – but it’s the only conclusion I can think of! [↩]

I have successfully survived my very first day of teachers college. This is a very good start.

It was a pretty long day. I arrived there at 8:30am and didn’t leave until about 3pm, but we had quite a few breaks in between all the info sessions so it wasn’t too boring. I found out that both of the other women in my interview group were accepted! One of them is doing the same degree as me and in the same stream (class), so we spend most of our breaks sitting around talking. She is a maths/science brained-person, so I suspect she might be a rather useful friend for my creative-minded self to have, since we can help each other! I didn’t see the second one, since she’s doing a 3 year Bachelors degree as opposed to a 15 month graduate diploma, but the other woman did, and said that she seemed really excited to get started.

I also came across a good friend of mine from primary school, who is also doing the same qualification! Thanks to Facebook I knew she’d be there, but I hadn’t seen her for years and years!

I’m going back tomorrow for another info day, and then on Wednesday we go for our first school visit!
