So, I received a letter in the post!

To my surprise, it was from the University I was supposed to be going to this September just gone.

They've sent me a letter to apply for 2015 /2016 course year, after cancelling the course this year because of there not being enough applicants.

See the thing is I got really downhearted about it when I got the letter saying they're sorry to tell me that the curriculum has been cancelled. And I kind of lost interest in wanting to go to university, reading that I had automatic entry to the course deferring to next year.
The real question is, do I want to risk applying again..to only be let down again?

The university itself has had a a little track record in August cancelling various courses because of not enough applicants and the uni has only been open 2.. neeeearly 3 years now. I don't see my course pulling through this year or the coming next 3 years to even complete the degree? My friend can't complete her uni course into second year because there aren't enough people to provide a class worth putting on? So her having that experience is making me not want to risk £6,000 on something I may not be able to complete in the comfort of my hometown due to money issues! Hmmmm.

I think I'll pass, I'm doing just fine and I'm happy without the Uni troubles!

Power on! :)

SO, in my last post...

I told you about how I was going to use a disposable camera that I was going to use at the Lady Gaga artRAVE Sheffield.

Disappointing fact is, I only actually took one photo at the concert, and that was outside waiting with my best friends. OOPS! It's literally a fabulous photo though! :)

So, I also told you that the negatives have random cats on them so that when the photos are developed and etc, these cats show up...but you don't know which cat design is going to be on what photo.

GREAT THING IS! That we got lucky on the one photo we too, there's two cats situated either side of us so you can see us three! What I hoped that didn't happen was a big cat face to be smack on our faces so the photo wasn't worth even taking, but that didn't happen so i'm pretty pleased!

Downfall to the camera was it didn't work too well in dimmer lights, you had to have quite a lot of light, AND the flash aswell...so out of the 28 exposure film, I got one fab photo, and 2 other ones that look pretty cool and Tumblr-esque. So I'll do some work with those one day. :) The rest were completely black with random cat designs etc on them. Massive fail!

I would definitely try this again though, it was fun to experiment with what was basically the unknown! I'm going to buy a few different ones with different outcomes, designs colours etc!
