And I hated it. But I still had to do it anyway and I thought I might as well just try and get the grade anyway and perhaps experience something I haven’t done before. I guess it wasn’t too bad but at the same time it certainly wasn’t good and thinking back I’d probably try and find a way to avoid it given a chance as the grade I got for it was the lowest – a G, which again makes sense because it just totally isn’t my thing at all. I was incredibly nervous from start to finish.
On that final year in secondary school there were two productions being done for the exam, one for those who were more confident – which was Blood Brothers – and then a smaller and shorter play for those who weren’t as good at Drama and/or just didn’t really like it as much – this play was called Pâté and I don’t think it is well known, not like Blood Brothers anyway, Pâté was basically about some waiter who serves a husband and his wife who visited a hotel on holiday and the waiter ends up killing the husband and then serving him to the wife as Pâté.
Yeah it sounds very strange, it was a macabre comedy production. In this I played the role of the hotel manager where I had a few funny lines, and to be quite honest I can’t at all remember them or hardly what my part even did, which is how little I was into the whole drama performance. I also certainly didn’t talk loud enough and my body language was probably incorrect, otherwise how else would have I got the lowest grade.
But at the end of it I don’t really care, I guess I can at least say I still did the drama exam rather than just finding a way to completely avoid it and be unmarked, I got some kind of grading from it, not that it’s going to be at all useful in anything. I do think subjects such as drama and music should be optional and they are certainly not needed and I think some kind of system when you can choose to swap them out for more essential subjects would have been great.
Maths for example, I could have done with a lot more of those lessons as I am terrible at it and annoyingly it is an essential subject. I do plan to one day try and get better at maths off my own accord by using various resources I can find online; the problem is just trying to remember it. I could always learn it, but then forget it within a few days.
Anyway, so yeah, just a short little story on Friday. In other quick news I am working on two new blogging series that will be coming soon, one is going to be about hauntings, I always mentioned this some time back, but I will make a big announcement on social media about it closer to the time and try and do a bit of promotion.
The other one I am working on won’t start coming out until after I have finished the Mysterious/Paranormal US States series, but it shall be about the unexplained as well, but not ghosts or hauntings entirely, but more other unexplained things, again an announcement properly describing it will come on social media closer to the time.
