Yes and I needed it. Just to clear my mind of all the self doubt that moved in after not being successful at that audition. Although looking back, it was stupid of me to allow one unsuccessful audition to question my career aspirations. After all, it is part of the game. Besides going to an audition whilst your ill is probably not the wisest thing to do. It's just that I wanted to get unto the programme so as to guide and prepare me for my drama school application.
We just cannot be close minded about things, just because one door was shut does not mean another will not open. Must not be rigid, imitate the wind instead and seek all ways to reach your destination.
So guys you'll be glad to know I am back on track. Looking at audition speeches again, RADA is a constant feature on my browser, it's even bookmarked and I am yet to discover how to make it my homepage. You know, a little self advertising. hehehehe!
Also, the calls from the theatre to take part in projects, working with directors, workshops here and there. That reminds me, it seems that my not getting unto the programme was for good as I was later offered a part in a project that was paid. Which for me was very good news as I did NEED the money very much then.
So it all worked out.
Still on my way. Still taking Stan's advice and keeping close to Shakeaspeare! Still running with the dream.
Now I must go back to reading a novel for my African Literature class tomorrow. I've got a 9'o'clock lecture. Do feel for me!!!

* Stanislavsky (the esteemed theatre director and theorist) and I have become familiar (via his book), so I call him Stan for short. He's a very honest man. At least in his theory.
