Gosh I am a useless blogger. All those precious memories of being in America, eh? Well I'll be posting all the emails I sent to my mother everyday telling her every detail of my day, so you guys who were watching out for those journals won't be missing out!!

Of course I've been so away from the computer recently as I've started UNIVERSITY. I'm doing Art for a year, then choosing my full degree next year. It's like a year 0. It has turned out to be absolutely fantastic so far, some parts are long and drawn out compared to other times but it's sooooo cool.

I feel like I've been there a month but it's only the end of my first week! Then again I've been feeling this course for the past few months, so no wonder really. I love my new friends, I have lots of asian friends who are perfectly hilarious! A few other really good friends that are english too! So many fascinating people, I just love going in everyday (gosh that is sad).

I have started with two weeks in 3D & Spatial Design which is pretty intense, I've finished a sketchbook of sketching from galleries and observations around me, 3xA1 (594mm × 841mm)sheets that are filled with more sketches and observations, as well as 12 small scale sculptures that will inspire the next stage of making a large scale model, with some sortof purpose. It's all rather exciting really! (Though 5 hours making sculptures out of boxes was a bit slow haha)

Something that made me smile the other day was, we were talking about people at uni and how some people are unapproachable 'cos they come across as grumpy or something. Then my new friend Than said I must find that 'cos I'm always out for a laugh! Either the past week has changed me substantially or this guy doesn't know me AT ALL yet. I find myself being the one in the background wishing I was having fun, rather than going out there and making it happen. Whereas this week, I've had the most fun in months, maybe even years! I really appreciated what he said though, I've always wanted to be 'fun' in real life, I'm quite happy online but in day to day life I tend to turn into a big pessimist.

HOORAH FOR OPTIMISM. I hope it sticks.

I'll be journalling sometime -soon- with the link to the emails.

Hope you're all having fantastic times.
