Had a meeting about my year abroad yesterday, a Spanish one this time. As you may or may not know, my Spanish is not in the best condition. My grammar is good, my oral is basic, and by oral I mean my ability to actually speak the language, no smutty comments please. Anyway, there are LOADS of unis, but only a few who cater to the less abled and shy (i.e. me), but I'm happy to go basically anywhere, within reason.
The RENT translation project has somewhat stalled, as I have no idea what song to put forward, as obviously all of them, but it has to be 250 words. La Vie Boheme is defo too long, as is I think Rent. At this point I'm stuck between What You Own and Halloween. Any thoughts? So much to think about ARGH!!!!

Erasmus here I come...
Today, I had a meeting for my year abroad which is happening in the next academic year. I have decided that, despite my reservations, I am going to go to Spain for a semester, even though my actual oral knowledge of Spanish is quite limited, as, so far my courses have been only grammar based... oh dear :(! I have no idea which Spanish unis we (Roehampton) have exchanges with, so I'll keep you posted on that. On the French front though I am definitely going for Universite Paul Valery (Montpellier) and probably Universite Lumiere Lyon II, or maybe Universite d'Angers or Universite Francois-Rabelais in Tours! All very good choices - it's difficult to choose. Will let you know my final decision!

A new direction
Sorry for the absence. I've been working and rehearsing.
Today is the start of the new theme for this blog, my mission to become a translator specialising in the theatre. My previous translation of a script was episode 4 of series one of The Thick of It into French from English. Bear in mind that I completed this last summer before I started uni, but I've been looking over it recently, and it's surprisingly good if I say so myself. The other day I started translating RENT for a presentation I am doing in three weeks time. It's a massive undertaking, but I know I can do it. So far, I have just about finished Tune up #1. I am aware that I may be breaking copyright laws, but I won't publish it unless requested to. Vive la vie boheme!!!
