Cue Queen - 'It's a Miracle' - Tuesday 29th July

24-hour death-germ - I think so! Feeling ridiculously better now - still coldy - but can completely deal with that - although it is more unpleasant when you're stuffy and it's really sunny and hot - but, if this is all I have to suffer after yesterday - I can deal with that 'til the cows come home!

Nothing really new to report though - we're still working - things are still going really, really well and we're still having an amazing time!

MA-wise (keep on forgetting that's actually what this blog is about...whoops!!) I am getting a little concerned about the interviews etc. etc. because I just haven't had enough time to sit down and actually do that many. I mean I've done some - but no where near enough for a 15-20 minute documentary...

Honestly - I'm actually more than a little concerned.

But, we leave on Saturday - which means I need to have everything done by Friday, and it's Tuesday...no problems...really...oh Godddd!!

It's just so hard doing all the music, and writing stuff longhand for my blog - because there isn't enough time to be dilly-dallying on the internet, so I have to make random notes everywhere (!!) and also trying to approach the others, who are also VERY tired, asking if it would be ok to do the interviews now...so difficult! After all - for the rest of the group, and me as well, the reason for being here is for the music - my MA project, although it's in the forefront of my mind, and is very important to me (obviously!!), it's not the priority...it's just one of! And I don't want to force it on the others, nor me either because we all have much more important things to do..relatively! Also, it's not because the others aren't willing to help - there is literally not enough time, and only a certain amount of things are physically possible...

There have been a couple of times when I could have done some interviews, but everyone was so tired it was not worth it - my interview technique would have gone out the proverbial window, and the answers would probably not be as passionate as they could be..and I want the others to be pleased with their interviews too...complicated or what!

But, it's got to the stage where I just have to knuckle down and get it in the can - regardless - (remember Nat - once these two weeks are over - you have to go back to the UK and you can't come back ('til next year for the performance..!) which means you just have to get everything, more than you need in the can)

Ok - inspirational speech over.
