OKAY, so now that you've discovered my tangent skills, I am going to carry on. I really miss my brother. I don't think you understand how close we are. When we were little and fell asleep in the car, on long journeys, we had to sit side by side and, on numerous occasions, hold hands. I know, WE ARE SO CUTE! ( I've just emmbarassed my brother completely.) It's a relationship that cannot be replicated, I have already bought him some of his Christmas pressy, actually I got it within one of the first days I was here. I miss his smile and laugh, oh lord, I sound completely cheesy. I miss my mum TOO, but more so my brother. I didn't mentally prepare myself for this kind of alone feeling, well, it's more of, like, a detachment. I just miss him and my cat. Sorry mum, dad, grandparents, the rest of you. I mean I miss all of you, but the fact of the matter is, he is closer to my age and my cat is my other half. Plain and simple.
Well, sappy sob story over, OOOOOooo look at that alliteration (BAM!)
Being in the 3rd/4th week of college, now knowing the direction of the course, I am in love. It's like every princess dream come true, except for me it's not princess-y, it's more like, obsession is reality. I melt into the course, I completely understand what it is they are trying to bring out of me, I am SUPER excited to show them what I can do!!!

On a side note, there are very few of us in my course who can actually sew, and sew well. THANK YOU MRS. VANCE!! The range I have in my skill set puts me above the rest, in that respect, but I still need to grow with my art skills. That is something that can come with time, I feel it's within myself, I just haven't quite figured out how to completely pull it out and showcase it. This next year will hopefully do just that.
That being said, to the little note above, everyone wants to do 'womenswear,' and I don't doubt that some of them may go into it. I am trying my hardest to keep an open mind. Although, we had our induction on the sewing room..... I so badly want to be in there all the time. I want to be making more things. I was having a really crap day on the day of our induction. Our tutor showed us the machine and my mood changed instantly. I think from then I knew I wanted to work with textiles in some form. Whether is design, drafting, tailoring, whatever. I want to keep my mind as open as possible and push myself to be the absolute best. Galiano and Mcqueen didn't go to this college expecting greatness to just be handed to them, I feel the same way. I want to work and work really hard for it. Which is why I am mentally exhausted half the time, I am pushing myself to be beyond what I know, I am experimenting and challenging myself.
It really is everything I thought it would be, and a great deal more.
I am really sorry for all the cheesiness.
Well, I can safely say being incredibly outgoing and talkative, at the right time, it has paid off. I was elected to be a Student Representative for my group. It is a leadership role and I can add it to my CV. It looks really great on there apparently. I was kind of hesitant to accept, only because I thought "How am I going to do this and all my course work?"
To be honest, it's not that it's a job or a chore when you've, sort of, assumed the role in the beginning. I have just been given the wrong name at birth, I should have been name Cathy or Obama. Once I found out what a Student Representative is I find that I really like the role, I can foresee it being really helpful to my progression into Higher Education courses.
You could be reading the blog of a future Fashion president. Crazy.
