Still drama related, but not arts award related.

I got back the results from my end of year practise GCSE's; 2 A*s (in History and Science) 4 As (in English Language, Maths, German and Citizenship) and 1 B (in RE). Strangely, my English Literature result wasn't on there (but as I've got A*s in al my coursework I'll assume its that) and also to my annoyance my drama result was missing. I'll have to hunt those down on Monday. Overall I am quite pleased with my results, especially German and English as so far we have only done half of the course. I was disappointed, but not surprised, with my RE result as I only found out we had a test on the day so I couldn't revise. And we do still have a year before the actual GCSE's, so hopefully these results will get me into the courses I want to do at the local sixth form college.

For my final drama assessment I have to do a performance of Samuel Beckett's 'Rockaby'. I'm not sure how I feel about this, as I have done really well so far in drama so I cannot really understand why Mr Sibley had given my a play in which all the speaking is pre-recorded and all I have to do is sit in a rocking chair for a while. Some people have got really challenging ones that look really exciting. I'm alsoon my own as opposed to in a group, which I suppose when I think about it I'm quite pleased about, although the only other two people on their own are people who normally rely on others to do work, whereas I am much more committed.
But on the otherhand, I'm terrified that this might be Mr Sibley's favourite Beckett play, and he gave it to me because he thought I could do it best (not that there's much to do best) it's tearing me apart trying to think of what his intentions were for giving me that play. Maybe I should just ask him, but that's not really done.

I'm going to see Spiderman 3 tonight, which I'm loking forward too. I've seen Spiderman 1 but not Spiderman 2, so I'm going to have to try and figure out what's going on it.

I watched an episode from the new series of NCIS last night, and I could swear that I've seen it before. I can't think where though, and I can't work out why as this is the first time the series has been broadcast on Channel 5 and I don't have FX (the other channel whic shows more recent series). This is now also bugging me.
