Starting UNI Soon

Jake Thoroughly Enjoying the Park

So we have moved now, and all that Jazz, to Plymouth. The new flat is Teeny compared to the last one, but it's lovely, and we have no crazy neighbours! Yay! Little Man is in a good school and Big Man is happy shooting people (he has found a good Airsofting site). The main reason for moving was Uni, which was a big decidion, and one my partner (who has lived in North Devon his WHOLE life) took to surprisingly well bless him. Overall I am very chuffed with my family right now. When they aren't driving me bloody bonkers.

I was given the option of doing Fashion or Textiles, but the Fashion FDA has much more flexibility in terms of covering both subjects so I decided to opt for that.We do masterclasses in professional techniques and finishing in the second year which really sold it to me, and I can opt to do the third year to turn it into a BA which is awesome. I have the option then of taking a year of two out to get some work experience in before my dissertation too. :)

Things are a bit smoother after the move, to be honest I was settling worse than everyone else (looking after everyone else too much, not enough left for myself) but I've found a really lovely knitting group, and some of my friends have been cool in keeping in contact which is helping. I'll feel much better when I'm doing more, when my course starts, and we have the first Mayfest Committee meeting and I can get started on doing stuff for that. The first meeting is going to be a long one...

Anyway... It's pretty late so I'm going to turn in, but I have lots to add, so I'll post soon.
