For all the grand plans of stitching, embroidering and bag making I had upon my return to cardiff I failed to factor in one important detail; the astronomical workload expected at third year degree level.
Not that I should be at all surprised, any course where the entirety of the marks are earned in the final year is bound to be full on. But I think a summer of relaxing, leisurely afternoons spent reading in the sunshine and entirely suiting myself made me forget a little of how real life actually is.
So for now, my personal projects must be set aside and every waking hour is filled with drawing, designing, project briefs and deadlines. It just serves to remind me how lucky I am to be doing a degree in something I am so passionate about so that despite the pressures and the long hours of working, I can truly say that I enjoy what I do.
