So yesterdays uni interview was very positive. The tutors that I met that do my course are absolutely lovely, and after only five minutes of looking through my portfolio she enthusiastically gave me a place on the course straight away. And I've pretty much made up my mind already that I'm gonna go there. I dunno if I'll stay there the entire four years of the course though, but then at the moment I'm not even sure if I wanna do the entire degree to be honest. I'm only unsure about doing the whole degree because I've got SUCH itchy feet you wouldn't believe. So I'm just gonna see how it goes and decide what to do later. I'm gonna pretty much focus on my art for that year, and then decide after that if I wanna carry on the degree at that uni, change to a different uni, or quit and go to France. But whatever I decide, I'm excited. I feel in control of my life at last and like I'm actually doing something instead of drifting. And even if I quit uni and go to France at least I'll still have spent a year getting some proper formal art training and still have a qualification at the end. Just not a degree.

So in September I will be moving to London :O

I've decided I'm probably gonna try and stick at my current job if I can too. It's £7 an hour, and I worked out that if I went back to Pleasure Island, after tax that would be nearly a £300 wage drop per month. And at least I feel better about everything now that I know for definate that I'm leaving in September.

And if this entry is properly coherent I will be amazed at myself because my mind is so all over the place at the moment. I'm totally drugged up on anti flu medicines.

YAY! That's good to hear! I know what you mean when you feel like you've finally got the next big chunk of your life figured out. I just had that epiphany yesterday. xD

Just a tidbit of advice: Try your best to stay the four years and get your degree. Future employers will notice if you drop after a year and not look kindly upon it. But that's from an American job market perspective; I know things in England work a bit differently. LOL, I'm still a bit illiterate concerning the English school and university system. xD

Haha I know what you mean, the American school/uni system confuses me to no end! XD
I certainly hope to do the entire degree and I know that I could never hope to get any career in the art field without the full thing, but just telling myself that I don't have to do the whole thing if I decide not to makes the whole thing seem less daunting to me! Right now four years feels like a very long time when I've never really committed to anything before.
