Well, lets get the ball rolling...

So, my first post on my brand new, sparkling blog. What to say.... well as you can probably guess from the title, I'm from Wales, and soon to be going to St Andrews to study English for the next four years. I am just a tad excited...

I thought I would set up a blog about the build up to going to St Andrews, actually going there etc. as when I was applying I thought that the blogs from people actually in St Andrews were really helpful in finding out what the place was really like etc. (I seem to like to use the word etc. quite a bit, hmmm... - also I'm a bit ellipsis mad) There probably will be some (or quite a few) posts about books and what not, maybe some art too.

I've just finished a Foundation in Art & Design, specialising in Fine Art, so with no more work to do on anything such as PRDs (Personal Reflective Diaries, the bane of my life for the past few month) I thought I would set this little baby up. (Oh my word, why did I use that phrase???) I got a Distinction for the course, I was a bit shocked to say the least, considering the state of my (almost non-existent) sketchbook. But a lot of people seemed to really like my final piece so I was really pleased with that.

I don't really know what else to say, except I really need to find a job soon. Blerrrghhh, the toils of being a student have already started and I haven't even moved up there yet!

Hopefully, you'll be getting more posts in the near future!
