Very excited to be at the press night for the UK tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat tonight! Thank you so much to the @thecentre_yganolfan! Haven’t seen this show in person since I was about 10 years old but have had the classic film on repeat since birth thanks to my mum! Going to be a very entertaining night! • • • • • • #joseph #josephandtheamazingtechnicolordreamcoat #uktour @josephmusical @_joseph_tour_fanpage @thecentre_yganolfan #gifted #theatreblogger #josephuktour #theatrereview #theatrereviewer #blogger #technicolour (at Wales Millennium Centre) https://www.instagram.com/vickylrd/p/Bxc-RcWgkVq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c5gxea244v7a

Momentous shock moment number three in my time at @cardiffuni 😵 To be one of only two people to revive the award of Outstanding Contribution to the Student Mentor Scheme is astounding but after three years of working on the scheme I can honestly say it has been my pleasure ☺️ especially as without it I never would have met some inspirational people but none more so that my utterly incredible mentors who I’ve watched grow since their first year and who started my love and relationship with the scheme in the first place. Genuinely i couldn’t have done this without you girls (please don’t graduate this year time is scaring me! 😂) #cardiff #cardiffuniversity #cardiffuni #englishlit #englishliteraturestudent #englishlitmaster #student #studentmentor #studentmentoring #award #awardwinner https://www.instagram.com/vickylrd/p/BwIJPWOgJCp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1epuhnqixab2a

Finally back at the Fortune Theatre to see @womaninblackldn 😍 very appropriate given that next weekend I’ll be giving my first ever paper on big The Woman in Black novel and play - so excited to be scared and inspired all over again! #womaninblack #fortunetheatre #gothicliterature #student #masters #mastersdegree #theatre https://www.instagram.com/p/BuOqck2g9JV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15l0ecpfl7niw

Pro university tip that I discovered today: waiting until the last possible minute to get books for your favourite module pays off because I got to wait until I was having a crappy emotional day and go book shopping and buying a ton of books to cheer myself up 👀☺️📚 #bookstagram #books #newbooks #bookhaul #waterstones #alismith #hotelworld #sarahwalters #tonimorrison #jeanrhys #widesargassosea #thelittlestranger (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtdOot6gblz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y8z640fjhrlj

So on my deadline day I went to Waterstones and I finally found an absolutely gorgeous edition of Phantom of the Opera, a book which I used in my undergrad dissertation and I am just so in love with it 😍 it also has so many short stories in the back which I either already love or have wanted to read so I just couldn’t leave it and I know have a special edition of each book from my undergrad diss ❤️ #bookstagram #bookshelf #bookshelves #bookobsessed #bookish #bookaholic #bookphotography #phantomoftheopera #phantom #specialedition #fancybook #gothic #gothicliterature #literature #englishliteraturestudent #student https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQIMPZgiSr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y67iu3q2i024

Tbh I would absolutely love a spin-off of Arc of a Scythe following a young Scythe Curie back when she still struggled with her fantasies of power. I’m also trash for Curie/Faraday and want to see a closer look at their earlier relationship.

-That’s Scythe Curie. -The Grande Dame of Death? Is it true she gleaned the last president, before the Thunderhead was given control? -And his cabinet, yes.

So I’ve had to hide my phone away for the sake of essays but this arrived today and I couldn’t resist sharing it! Look at her! 😍 I kind of can’t believe I finally have a pop vinyl from one of my favourite animated films of all time 😄😍 I am also now very aware that I really need to share my updated collection because there’s now so many of them 😂 • • • • • • • #coraline #coralinedoll #coralinejones #coralinepop #coralinepopvinyl #pop #popvinyl #newpop https://www.instagram.com/p/BrsRjA2HpYn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=piwkqk3m8g2t

Today I was lucky enough to attend the Job Hack day run by Penguin Random House! It was such an informative day and basically confirmed it that what I think is my dream career sounds absolutely amazing and is certain what I could see myself doing so I feel so much better about that! It’s also lovely to leave an event literally carrying a bag of books ☺️ On a personal note it was so weird to not work the Cardiff Uni Open day for the first time in two years - I missed it so much but I’ll admit I didn’t miss the 5am start 😴 #penguin #penguinrandomhouse #jobhack #publishing #employment #employmentopportunities #publishinghouse #publishingindustry #englishliteraturestudent #student (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcR7c3HBAI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5wjlg7fimxil

So my life is now using my notebook to draw ‘detailed’ diagrams of character movements on a stage from memory: yay student life! Also if you recognise this layout props to you we can be nerd friends and I am impressed! • • • • • • • • • • #englishliteraturestudent #englishliterature #literature #maenglishliterature #notebook #studygram #study #studymotivation #studyblr #moleskine #drama #theatre #theatrestudies #studying #studyingtheatre https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9PvY2HIou/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fnt8n7go09vk

The show doesn’t start until later so expect more photos spam but I wanted to have the emotional moment first... yes I actually cried 😂 I’ve walked past this theatre so many times but today I’m finally going inside to watch my favourite play of all time. Seeing this show in Cardiff was the last theatre trip when life was normal shall we say but today I’m FINALLY seeing it in its London home after it’s been running fo 30 years and since I first saw it both the novel and the play have become the foundations and sole inspiration behind my Masters Dissertation which I’m completely in love with and have been researching since I saw it in 2017 - it’s hard to explain exactly what this show means to me but the easiest way to do it is: time to literally enter my nerd heaven 😍🖤 • • • • • • • • • @womaninblackldn #womaninblack #womaninblackplay #favouriteplay #fortunetheatre #london #sunny #englishliteraturestudent #englishlietrature #masters (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo38addge0r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ktrvj7g3ipzz
