Well, it\u2019s been quite a while since I last blogged. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a busy few weeks, filled largely with Uni work but also with some pretty epic social moments thrown in: primarily a weekend at Alton Towers and a visit back to Essex involving staying up til 11am and going to an engagement party on 30 minutes sleep. Some more local fun stuff’s been going on too and some Uni-mates-based piss ups are approaching nice-n-fast!<\/p>\n
As I write this, I\u2019m in the 5th week of Uni, with one more week of the first module (Visual Communications) to go \u2013 and hence deadlines a go-go next Friday. Once it\u2019s complete I\u2019ll probably dump some of the work online so you can see what we\u2019ve been getting up to.<\/p>\n
The following Monday starts the next module (Visual Language), which is a \u201ccompetition brief\u201d. I\u2019m still not entirely sure what that means. I guess there\u2019s a competition and, as it\u2019ll last 6 weeks, it\u2019s \u201ca brief\u201d rather than \u201cbrief\u201d.<\/p>\n
Oh and all the while the \u201ccultural and critical studies\u201d module churns along, involving lots of the stuff that I’ve no experience and, to be honest, interest in: reading up about artists and art movements in various books and on various web sites. That\u2019s right: I love drawing and doodling, but I’m not particularly into history of art. That’ll change, I guess (\/hope). But hey, come on: the last time I wrote an essay was when I was doing my GCSEs. (And you’ve never claimed to be anything other than pig-ignorant! – Squage<\/i>). Oh, thanks for popping in! (Pleasure! – Squage<\/i>)<\/p>\n
In case you\u2019re wondering, I\u2019m generally doing a 40 hour week (including coursework outside the classes) – plus, when I\u2019m not shattered, some (but not many, yet) other creative bits in my spare time. So it\u2019s not a total doss. Hopefully that\u2019ll make you feel better about your taxes, although given I\u2019m paying for everything myself bar council tax I guess that\u2019ll only make you feel better if you live in Brighton & Hove…<\/p>\n
Anyway, other than the course I still like it down here, not least because I bought a \u00a35 sandwich toaster from Sainsbury\u2019s. It\u2019s made my breakfasts amazing.<\/p>\n
I am nothing if not rock and roll.<\/p>\n
BYE!<\/p>\n
Pat<\/p>\n
P.S. I finally get broadband on Thursday. It\u2019ll mean blogging without walking a mile first or without praying I don\u2019t go over my quota on Orange\u2019s incredibly generous 500MB monthly mobile broadband limit. I\u2019m not sure what I\u2019m gonna do with all this freedom! Probably just watch the 10 hour version of Trollolol on Youtube…<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
