So as you may have read since my last post i'm now at University. Yep, my two years at college paid off. Hopefully will the 3 years in uni. The 5 years extra education i probably should have had 9 years ago. Still... It's happening now. In my first year doing Radio Production. Everyone at the moment seems pretty cool. I say "at the moment" because although i hope i never have an at least slight fall out with someone it will probably happen some day but it will repair.
I've managed to team up a lot of the time with Robin (Who's 18 from Gloucester) and Jelmer (Who is 20 - i think - and is an international student from the Netherlands). We all do a radio show together which is almost totally made up on the spot and quite funny because we all come out with such random stuff. At uni we're also sometimes joined by Fred who is also cool.
Anyway some how during a conversation during the show Robin, Jelmer and I decided that we were going to form a band (Originally called "Girl Band" - This name was to die within 24 hours of it's creation) and since then we've been talking about how to do it considering we're all skintyfied and don't have our own instruments so a lot has been about overcoming that.
Everything else at uni... seems to be ok. The only downside - and i don't mind people seeing this - is that certain people are still in their own little groups and really i'd like to get to know some of them better, but i'm guessing that some people might just not be interested in that. Still it's best to be friendly with everyone and help out when needed as usual :) However i think there is 1 person i get the feeling they actually hate me, it's ok because i don't hate anybody and if they hate me that's their decision.
It's cool we're talking to the second years too and people from other courses. Out team doesn'nt seem as close as the one at college but still it's all good. I think the work is going ok but i had a weird thought earlier. Am i on the right course?? I mean i get the radio thing, i love doing it, However...
When i went to college i had to consider the visual side of things and doing animation and really seeing things a bit broader. How people looked at what we were doing and making a connection with the audience some how. On this course there still is the connection and how it's seen, but now i don't have to consider the visual side any more unless it was the one i wanted to put in the listeners head. I kind of miss it to be honest but now i've started this im not gona give it up.
The Creative media module for instance. It was pretty confusing to start with but after we started the second task i got used to it. It was the kind of stuff we did at college and by the looks of it we'll be covering things i've already learnt about. Maybe i'll learn something i forgot or in more detail. For a second i thought that maybe Creative Media might be my thing. but thinking again i think if i did another course i'd probably see the radio production students and think "I'm on the wrong Course".
I'm hoping to get involved with other uni projects so i can stay involved with film one way or another. I recently became the voice of a Sock Puppet which will be recorded in January.
My course seems to be going well at the moment. Having problems reading things for my assignments because my attention seems to dwindle quickly when i'm reading which is very annoying.
In other gubbins my flat - well for a bit i lived back at my dads, now i'm in Cheltenham living with a house mate. My Kitchen is alive. I HATE the kitchen. I dont like going in it. Especially late at night. Its like it breathes.
I don't really have anybody here to speak to or spend time with doing other stuff outside of uni. I have a couple of friends from Swindon and Chippenham, who message me and phone and talk every so often but one person who knows exactly what's ticking along in this fat head of mine is the one furthest away from me. It's like that smiths sone "The closer i get the further away you get" or something like that. Part wish it was different. Darn you student finance! :)
Anyway i suppose i'd better get into bed and sleep as i have to be in by 9:15 and have no money for some milk. It's also late so Night!
