The end of my second week at University and I think it's time for a quick update. I'm beginning to settle into academic life and it's very different from the corporate environment I was so used to, I'm so far outside my comfort zone that it's a small dot on the horizon.
I've met some great people and new friendships are starting, groups are forming and I find myself spending my time with the other mature students. Not through choice I hasten to add, it just seems to be the way of things.
I have learned so much already and lots of what I already knew has been put into new context. I have a huge amount of respect for my year lecturer his depth of knowledge is breathtaking and his passion for photography comes through in everything he tries to teach you.
There have been a few disappointments. The building work carried out over the summer has overrun so we don't have our new darkrooms and studios yet, so our first couple of shoots for our assignments have had to be processed at Jessops. Some clown in the administration has also decided that there won't be and a refectory or cafe area in the refurbished blocks. These minor things can't detract from the fact that I'm having so much fun. I'm enjoying meeting new people, enjoying learning new things and enjoying my new life.
