This last Semester..

Since arriving in Nottingham I feel like I've really settled in and it's only been a really short space of time! After studying in UCA i felt ridiculously disheartened that possibly University wasn't for me. But Nottingham has proved this wrong, i honestly Love the location, and i feel the course is perfect for me!

Coming upto hand in of our first Visual Awareness module, i have realised i actually quite enjoying spending time in the library with friends and socialising but also being constructive with my time. This is defiantly something i need to reinforce into future modules. But lets face it, the first few weeks.. okay.. maybe months, was a case of settling in, finding my feet, and getting to know the route to Ocean on a Wednesday.. Now i feel confident with where I'm living have a lovely bunch of motivational people around me i need to be more constructive with my time. Reading. Sketchbook work. Attending seminars even if i am a little worse for wear or Hungover. But on that note, I'm pretty proud efforts on hangover days.

SLEEPING. I think i need to sort out my sleeping pattern. I was in a great routine when i arrived back home for christmas, but then as soon as i came back to Nottingham i have been staying up till ridiculous o'clock! But on that note, i know how i work when it comes to inspiration. I always seem to get inspired late at night, and start to do work. So if this is the case i must accept that i work better at night time and consider this. I know its so typical of Uni students but maybe power naps are for me?! But first things first.. I'm going to try with plan a) to sort my sleeping pattern out, and if all else fails ill go with plan b) carry on working at didic time until i cannot physically work anymore and accept that fact that i will be having a power nap the following day! 

Having coffee today with friends Tara & Mellie and reflecting on my time in Epsom then coming to Notts- I am so so happy things  happened when they did. Although things didn't turn out as initially planned, I know I am so much happier than I was back then and I'm so excited about my future in Notts! We have a house! I've met a wonderful bunch of people and my gosh this place is so much nicer and more inspiring than Epsom and the Boogie Lounge! Here's to the next semester, of disco dancing, creating and memory making!
