I'm not sure when I'm going to find the time to write the rest of my script, as my week's been rather hectic. I've got two jobs on today and my third job tomorrow. Very hectic, but I know that SCHOOL COMES FIRST! haha ;) Therefore, I'll continue to do this blog and work on my script.

Mine's not actually a script by the way. It's sort of a poetic piece relating to the importance of memory and the nature of memory, with a bit about dementia. It's quite similar to Amy's. Except she wrote hers and I wrote mine. I'm still not quite satisfied with it and continue to add bits to it, and take things out. It's weird to think we are performing soon!
Anyway. I wanted to put a mention about this, as I'm currently looking at universities to attend, therefore am in quite a thoughtful mode. Similar to my last blog thought.

Life and memory goes hand in hand. Life is the experiment, goals are the hypothesis and memory is the conclusion. All are crucial for moving forward in life. And memory is what we remember, without it - what do we have to show our existance on earth? A headstone doesn't count, and memory which is written down is possibly the best thing to show remembrance.

From doing this drama project, it's shown me to not take memory for granted, as youth don't have much memory to look back on compared to those older than us. It makes me so upset knowing that Frances, my 95 year old partner, has lived this amazing life - full of travel, inspiration and doing what she loved. She's done so much more than me, yet she cannot remember a large section of her life - due to Dementia and she's 5 times older than I am ( I think ).

On the other hand, I remember most of my 17 years. Frances told me she kept a diary when she was younger, but she doesn't know where it is. Therefore I think I'm gonna start writing in a diary, and tell those I love where it is! Even if no one ever reads my memories but me, it doesn't matter as my memories aren't necessarily special for anyone else. Memories are personal special exciting things that each individual on this earth possess. We are all united with our different books on the shelf, each filled with a different story. That's what the exciting thing about life is about :D
