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! :)

UPDATE: University

Well, I don't think this post is going to be a happy one at all!

About 3 months ago I got my acceptance letter to go to Grimsby University. I know it isn't a fantastic place but, it was convenient for me. And When I got that letter I was over the moon to know I'd be going on to study further in what I would class as my future career.

So I've been prepared for that ever since!

THEN, along comes another letter in the post about....over a month ago saying that the course has been deferred to next year because unfortunately not enough students applied for the course. HOW GUTTING IS THAT? I am actually really gutted. I got my place, I got accepted, got my finance sorted out. And then that letter really set me back. Genuinely upset about it because I knew that this was the right time for me to go off.

A fresh start,  almost?

Of course I signed the part where it said that I can be considered onto next years application straight away, but there's still no guarantee that the course would even go on. And to be fair, I don't think it will. It wasn't the ONLY course that was cancelled at this University this year, and everyone is really miffed off to be honest.

Best part is, is that I got offered onto another course to do with Filming? What even?

Yes, it is a digital photographic type of course, BUT...how can that really relate to commercial photography? If I wanted to do filming I'd have applied for it. Thanks though?

Like, yes they're so similar in some ways, but they're also in every way different.

Arrr, the whole thing infuriates me! But I don't think I'm going to wait til next year anymore. I'm doing rather well just the way I am with my page and my followers.

Thanks for all the endless support I've been given over the past 2 years of being 'public'.

Means so much. :)

Well christ it's been one heck of year!

I haven't posted for 8 months! That's crazy. But so much stuff has happened in that time.

I've been to a fair few places and photographed a variety of things. This year for me, it's been mostly about not so much photographing people. But more landscapes and street scenes.

The next few posts will be about the different places I've been and the things I've produced in this time.

University

So, as I was saying in my previous post..I am in hope to go to University in September to continue my Education in my passionate field.
I took my gap year or so to help me explore and define myself in regards to my personal photography, and although I don't have a set idea on what I love most (which I think is great) I find I'm ready to take my next step.
I haven't found the exact passion in my photography because frankly, I'm still discovering the world and there's so much more out there that I haven't explored yet. Although these past 6 months I have took a turn into bringing myself up through the likes of Facebook, I have been drawn to a lot of Child/Baby Photography, but this isn't where I am going to stop and I don't think I'd settle down and do that one subject for a living in the future, but I love doing those type shoots, nevertheless!
I've loved going on holiday and going to concerts to capture images from different types of activity this year. It's endless what you can do with a camera, and I don't think everyone will ever touch the sides.
I'm so excited what the industry can become in the future, it has so much potential. :)

I'm excited to see whether I get the place at Uni, it will be a great next 3 years in my life, enjoying learning more and more about the subject. I just want to get better and better at it and not stop.

I sound so, so geeky right now! Ah well. :)
