My Confusion and I

I didn't think that day would come when I would want to write about a book but for some strange reason I feel the need to share my experience with reading Tuesdays with Morrie written by Mitch Albom. So here it goes. The book is about an old man who is dying and every tuesday he meets up with an old student of his to discuss everything between life and death. Even though the lessons we go through aren't that surprising and I don't really think that I will actually adapt them to my life it makes you think about life in a different way. Without spoiling the book too much, it makes you appreciate what you have rather than wanting more. Mitch Albom manages to describe the characters in the book very well and even though the way they look isn't described that thoroughly it felt like I knew the characters in the end and that I was actually a part of the lessons they had. The book is also very easy to read which definitely made me like it since it was always interesting. I...

Recently I have felt the need to get involved in what the Uni does for the students. I have now been course rep for almost 2 years of uni and so far I have seen no change in the uni regardless how much we complain. This made me decide to actually take action to one of the things that pisses me off the most (excuse me for the language); the uni showing the students that they support them. We have a radio in uni and a proper radio station. There are almost 20 radio shows on during the week and the students make a lot of effort to actually prepare for these shows and what does the uni do? Plays other radio stations because they don't find the music on Radio Hope good enough. First of all, everyone has different taste in music and the women working in the canteen on the average age on 40 probably can't be the ones knowing what students want to hear. Secondly, even if people don't like the music that is being played on Radio Hope they won't stop coming to the canteen since i...

I have recently rediscovered my love for theatre. The last month I've been to see Wicked and Phantom of the Opera which have made me realise how much I want to work within productions whether it is film or theatre I don't really care because the concept is the same. There is so much more to it than what we see. I think what makes me fascinated about it is how every single detail makes a difference to what people notice and there is so much time put into how to lay up everything. Although both of the musicals  are very good and I really enjoyed both of them I have to say that Phantom of the Opera is a masterpiece. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius composing those songs and creating a line in the music running through the whole play. The way the melodies are repeated makes everything connected to each other. But if it was just the music that made the musical excellent I would say Wicked is better but it's not. The way of scene changes in Phantom is thought through to every sin...

About a year ago I blogged about me taking over as Jsoc co-Chair and how exciting it was taking responsibility for other things than just my uni work. A year has now gone and my year is over. My first reaction to it was that it was a relief but the more I think about it the more I realise how much I will actually miss it. Being the chair for a society with about 50 members and events on weekly basis your life easily gets taken over by the society instead of Uni. Last term I managed to handle it quite well but running up to the charity ball (which was yesterday) it felt like I didn't have time for anything else. This blogpost isn't meant to be an emotional post about how much I'll miss it but it is worth mentioning that it as been a good year. However, I would rather try to point out what this year has given me. Because of me being to lazy I am going to do this in bullet points because that way I don't really have to think about the structure. 1. Working with friends i...
