6 weeks gone...
Well its been 6 weeks now since I started university, and I am having such a good time, and I would highly recommend anyone going to university. I have met some great people, who I will be in contact with for a long time:) including my partner Naomi, who has to be the most down to earth, and mostly genuine person I've ever met in my life...I couldn't ask for a better partner. She's a bit crazy, with pink hair, and a loud personality, but a great lass:) My lecturers have been really nice so far, which is a bonus and i seem to be settling in quite well. It's a bit of a trek, with it taking 40 miles a day getting there and back, but it is well worth it, as I have had a ball. I studied Graphic Design, Fine Art and Business Studies at 6th form, but I am eventually doing something I LOVE, which is the world of advertising, and I can't wait to go out there and get my first placement. I have booked my ticket for my first course trip, which is in Edinburgh on 17th November for D&AD, and this will give me a chance to meet people, and open my eyes to what I am going to be doing for the next 3 years. I will keep you up to date with how the trip goes... but ta ta for now :)
