Another two weeks...

... and they've been hard ones as well, there's no point in my pretending any different. It's not the writing itself that's been the problem as much as the form, the structure. Writing has always come naturally to me, so the realisation that there actually IS a structure has come as something of a shock, one that's had me confused for several weeks now. Suddenly I got doubtful about everything, including my name at times, and for the last week or so my very survival on the course seemed to be in real doubt.

Still, today I've managed to put that behind me. I stay and fight. I've had my lesson, now what I have to do is learn from it and move on.

Back to Yorkshire on Saturday for Xmas with the family, but I'll be back in Falmouth before New Year with a heap of work to get through.

Au revoir,

Chris

Two hard weeks...

That's how long it's been since I last posted here. Okay the flu didn't exactly help, but actually it's been the sheer intensity of the course that's given me me the most problems. It's been a totally new experience for me and, this is still only the first term! Never mind, where would the feeling of achievement be if it was easy? Just a week to go before the first term's submissions are due and the workload is positively scary.

And after that, for I have no doubt that I will be back next term, what are my choices? Should I consider the Novel option that I originally came here to do, or should I switch - to the Script Writing option for example. Not sure to be honest, that's the reason I have a meeting with my tutor tomorrow to discuss the pros and cons... I'll keep you in touch.

Falmouth is still a lovely place to be. Despite the rain the place and the people are great,(well most of them anyway), though we'll be heading back to Yorkshire over Xmas for a swift, 7 day visit. Santa and Snowflakes, Pudding and Presents, Tinsel and Trees...

One more thing before I go, if you ever come to Falmouth, why not pop in to Tyto's Boutique/Gallery down on Discovery Quay. Always a nice welcome and a wide range of gifts and accessories. Oh, and the answer is no, they HAVEN'T bribed me to post this, I just happen to like the place. Take a look next time you're down that way.

Chris.

Now I'm afraid I have to go, I have a degree to pursue.
