A little update

These past few weeks have been some sort of a haze. I received my AS results (not too bad, it's something to work with next year) and watched The Inbetweeners Movie - crude? Yes. Hilarious? Yes.

I did make an attempt to visit the local book club - yes, that is my enigmatic nerdiness coming out of it's shell again. I don't think I could explain to myself what seems so appealing to me about book clubs. I've always loved reading from a very young age, and that's been constant to this day. I went to this club last week and I arrived at the library with my friend and couldn't in fact locate where the damn book club was being held. We figured out where it was just as it had ended (we sat around reading instead, which is just as good as any book club!). We're having another go at it tomorrow, and perhaps get a little more of my personal statement done.

As school approaches, I'm getting more and more nervous about this personal statement; it has to be crystal clear and brilliant. It just dawned on me the other day that this will be a long process. I will be spending hours drafting this personal statement, so to avoid the infamous "last minute panic", I'm trying to get as much done now and then ask for advice from my tutors.

For anyone else in the process of applying to university (anywhere in the world) and you require a personal statement, I'd suggest being as true to yourself as possible. Don't try any cliché quotes and lines, and don't use vocabulary that you couldn't define on the spot. I've heard that during your interview, you could be questioned about these things.

Another tip: START NOW!!!!


As summer ends, I'm slowly depleting on money so I doubt much will be posted on any exhibitions or events I'm going to. I think most of my money has been blown off on travel and food, and less on material things as such. So if anything is posted, it is most likely on the basis of thoughts, opinions or maybe even photography, considering that's free.

Hope you're having a great week!
