Place Secured; Waiting

My interview went… rather unexpectedly. It was very informal, so I felt rather awkward in my suit and tie. However, awkwardness aside I got a place and I’ll be off to start the course in October. 8 weeks and 2 days to go.

I’ve been sifting through the work that students have done at the NCCA and it really is impressive (You should check out the Top 20!). I shall link to a few websites of the some of the students on the Top 20 that I’ve stumbled across (I can’t remember how): Matt Birkett-Smith, Matt Ovens, Daniel Lim and Ben Jones. I hope a few of these people are progressing to Masters level, as it would be nice to meet some talented individuals who know the ins and out of the University. According to Jon Macey, the MSc course leader, only two artists are progressing to masters level from the BA.

This whole summer has been one long Wait. Waiting for results, waiting for jobs, waiting for Bournemouth to interview me. Now I’m waiting to hear from Bournemouth Accomodation services and waiting for information on my scholarship application. But October will bring an end to this monotonous holiday.

However, it’s my birthday on Saturday: One blip of sound in the otherwise silent sea of events.

Edit #1: Now you can actually see the links. Hoorah!

Edit #2: This whole Bournemouth thing, while exciting, is proving to be very expensive. I had to pay a £250 deposit to get on the course, the fees are £5,300, the rent is close to £4,000 and today I was disgusted to see that I need to pay a further £350 to get a place to live. So… I am most displeased. Hopefully this will be worth it in the end…

    Suit and Tie?! Hasn’t Computer Games Programming taught you anything?! :p

    Anyway Happy Birthday. I am staying down at my cousins at the moment so I’ll chat to you when I get back this weekend.

    Hopefully you got enough birthday money to pay for your fees. I am sure they accept HMV vouchers too…

    Hehe, sadly not. I still owe Teesside money because of their screw-up. (

    I got a 19″ TFT though, which is cool D I can install that font you sent me now.

    Have fun at your cousins )
