Update and good news!

Although I've been quiet of late, despite that a few good things going on.

First off, after much encouragement from friends I submitted my portfolio to a freelance photographic agency. To my surprise I received a very positive reply and am now on some one's books! Though this seems like an excuse, I feel a bit stuck at the moment, there really isn't much going on in this part of the world - Pantsville is a notoriously dull place - and the only projects I can run here that will, hopefully, bear fruit are of the ilk that would be destined for features, couple that with not being able to get to Civilisation for at least another week and it all adds up to me being a very frustrated bunny! All in all I see it as a very good step toward achieving my goals!

The second good thing happened last week. My second university interview bore fruit! The feelings I had throughout my visit to this (unnamed) university were extremely positive. The course sounds great, the facilities spot on and tutors I met were extremely friendly; I found it extremely hard not to be completely enthused by everything I saw, a total contrast to the last uni.
The interview itself was great (and over ran), this time I had a really good feeling all the way through - although I was a bit stunned when at the end of the interview I was told that I had a place if I wanted it! Not what I expected, and until an email from UCAS arrived I suspected I had misheard him (though recently had my ears syringed so can now hear a pin drop!).

Last and not least, I made a call to the university I originally wanted as my first choice. I knew they had my application, but had heard absolutely nothing from them since corresponding with the course leader around a month ago; obviously I wanted to know where I stood. Speaking to the course director (who remembered me - not sure if that's a good thing), he informed me that they were waiting for the on time applicants (I'm classed as late - story of my life!) to confirm if they will be accepting a place on the course of not and that I am still in with a chance for an interview.

So, Plan a & b are in play and working well (apart from not doing as much as I would like with plan b just now), some decisions will need to be made soon, obviously I need to see if the third and final interview will take place before I can head in whatever direction I end up choosing... The game is afoot!

Probably quite an obscure one and I'm definitely not a country music fan, but I had the Big Lebowski on as I spent the weekend trying to learn CSS (cheers for the help Jools!).
