I really like doing these posts at the beginning of the month you know. Despite being someone who runs on spreadsheets and to-do lists I always forget when one month ends and another one starts, and the weeks end up just rolling into one.
September was a marker month, and October is a month for settling back into routines. I find that up until about the end of October time goes relatively fast, but then once the horrible weather hits a week feels like a month and a month feels like a year. Thankfully I have some strong plans to see me through the rest of 2013, so I hope they'll be enough to not let winter drag on forever.
This month, besides settling into routines again, I'm going to a lot of gigs - and ones that I actually get to be a fan at. Sometimes I'll go to 5 gigs in a week, and I have to be professional and review the show. But my upcoming shows mean I can get down and dirty in the crowd, I can dance crazily and it won't look weird because I won't be by myself. I won't have to be watching the crowd and how they react, or critiquing the performances to every last detail. I can just have fun and singalong (note:badly) with some of my favourite musicians.
There's also Halloween, but I'm not its biggest fan, so I'll opt not to dwell on that.
What are you looking forward to in October?
P.s I've created a survey to help me with a big project at university and I'd be ever so grateful if you could fill it out and/or share it with anyone who might take part. Let me know if you do it, and I'll give you a virtual high five!
I'm not such a big fan of Halloween either, I'm with you on that one. I hope the month goes as well as you hope, and the gigs are amazing! I've seen so much hype about October on my Twitter already, I didn't realise how much it is loved
ReplyDeletep.s. I just took your survey
I know exactly how you feel but now we are going into the warmer months and things are starting to get really busy, I love hot weather though so I cant wait!

I hate Halloween too! However, I do enjoy the cold weather because I like being able to wrap up warm haha! :) About to take your survey now.
ReplyDeleteOctober always seems to go really fast for me - the first couple of weeks are taken up with the students returning to work (I work at a uni) and before you know it, Halloween's here! Hoping to have a family fireworks/bonfire party at the end of the month :-) x
