First Week

Wow, what a busy week! I've had all of my introduction lectures for my modules, including the scary dissertation. I need to do a bit of research to make sure there is enough literature on my topic (what effect does the media have on young people). Hopefully there will be enough to do the critical study, otherwise it's back to the drawing board.

The workload seems fairly spread out this year, and the essays shouldn't be too difficult. People on my course are hoping to set up study groups so that should help things out.

In other news, I will have some photos of a project I've been working on for a few days. I should also be sorting a day out for the making of the 'secret' project soon.

Also, look forward to next Wednesday when I will be visiting a medical museum in Leeds, there should be a few photos there.

Not so secret project

I've been busy with felt today! I have a few sneak peeks for you to take a look at. Nothing big, full details will be revealed at a later date.

First I drew some templates (they've been drawn for a while really) then cut them out.

Then I chose some felt from my rainbow.

Finally I drew round the templates onto the felt.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I can share what this project makes!

Finally a 3rd year!

I had my uni induction yesterday. It was really great to see the people on my course again, we spent an hour before just catching up, seems like everyone had a good summer :)

The actual induction was a bit scary, lots of talk about dissertations, presentations and essays. Luckily the girls on my course are helpful and supportive so we'll all get through this in one piece! I'll keep you posted on dissertation news as it comes, I think it will help to have somewhere to write my ideas down. Currently, my plan is to write about the effect the media has on young peoples identity, is it a positive or negative one? Lots of reading ahead of me for that!

Anyway, that's it for now. Once I've cut some pieces of felt out I should be having my friend round for our first crafty session!

Welcome!

How exciting, I finally have my own blog! I thought I'd make my first post a bit of an introduction to why I've made this blog and what you can expect to find here.

Basically, I read a lot of blogs...I think they're pretty cool :P So naturally, I wanted my own. I'm not expecting anyone to read it (apart from my parents who are the main audience).

So, what will I be writing about? I'm going to try and improve my writing skills by reviewing books that I read and films that I watch. I also have a friend that wants to learn to sew, hopefully I'll post photos of what we make and links to some cool tutorials I find. Finally, as part of my studies I'm meant to keep a journal, so I figured I might as well blog it. It's not going to be anything personal and exciting, just my thoughts on what I'm learning at Uni :)

Well...that's all for now folks...I should be posting again within the next week when something interesting happens :)
