the reality is a dream

Thirteenth Journal Entry - Life

Journal Entry: Thu Aug 14, 2008, 12:53 AM

Here's my update on life:

1, I've finished my 4-year master's degree in Civil Engineering with a first which is really good.

2, I'm currently still at university doing a bit of paid work.

3, From the 19th July I'll be in Wales at a riding stables where I'll be trying to make money via souvenir photos. This is quite a gamble, I'm putting a lot of money into it, but potentially stand to make a very good amount from 3 weeks of work!

4, From the 17th August I'll be off on travels around Europe: Amsterdam> Berlin> Prague> Vienna> Venice> Rome> Madrid> Barcelona (win)

5, Then after that? Who knows. Probably a Civil Engineering job in Birmingham.

I also went to Budapest with ~WarwickUniPhotoSoc the other week so I'll probably post some photos from that. Nothing particularly special so far though.

The best news however is my photo-every-day project =yellowpumpkin finally made it through an entire year without breaking the rule! (The rule that is to take a photo that day and post it.)
It's still going now so please take a look!

Update
Sorry I've been absent from here for almost a month now, I've been busy with my little photo-business in Wales which has been hugely successful and I'm very proud of it. I leave tomorrow morning :/

I've got a Civil Engineering job in Birmingham now, I start that on the 29th September.

Maybe over the next few days I'll be able to upload some horsey-landscape goodness

Featuring you:

Over and out, will try to submit moar.

Wooo well done!

I've got the joy of university ahead of me, screwed up my maths though so I probably can't do any of the engineering courses I wanted to. =/

Still try and do engineering. They'll probably let you in, you'll just have to do a maths module or something.
Try applying/emailing Warwick, they are always increasing their intake and I know people who got in on DDC!

I guess it depends on how lucrative the degree is in and where you want to live/work.

very true, I don't want to stay around here, the work is too sparse and not very well paid, I will move to Bristol in the not too distant future and look for graphic work there
