Random Post: Thoughts and my Studies

Hello Lovelies!

This is a totally random post, so if you are interested only for fashion staff, you will find little here!
I've been so busy lately working on my dissertation paper, that I wanted to write some of my thoughts somewhere.
I usually have a notebook and a pencil for this purpose, but isn't that what a blog is for??











If you have read my 'About me' section, you should now that I am getting my degree this year.
If you haven't, I am getting my degree this year; in Interior Architecture and Design!!

I am aiming really high with this, the aim being to get a First-Class (1.1) rated degree, so that my chances for the Master program I want to attend increase.
Production Design, which is what I am planning for the Master, is something I recently came upon.
I've read a few (or rather much more than a few(!)) about what this 'field' is about, and I was really excited. I haven't been this excited for studying since the first year of my current degree, which is a fairly 3 years ago!

Today was a very productive day, (if you don't count the 'nap' I had between 8pm and 10pm -.-')
I revised all of my paper with my professor and she was so excited and told me that I have certainly gained the 1.1 ! I was soooo happy and content that moment!
Being a generally anxious person that approval of her was so heart warming!!
So there is little more to do to finish this paper, and then I have some practical projects, which I enjoy more, due to the creativity they involve.

I get all my motivation for these, through my dream of studying and probably leaving in London.
If everything goes as planned, I will leave this September and try to relocate there permanently!
(I would love to get in touch with foreigners leaving/studying in London (or local people) to share experiences, so don't hesitate to contact me.)

Here in Greece, there is little to none opportunities for Designers, in all fields.
So, in order to do what I love doing, I have to go somewhere that is really involved with Design.
So I combined those 2 things (my dream and my future career) and decided to apply in London Universities. We will see how that goes in a few weeks!

Well, I think I am done with the talking for today, it is already 3am here and I should be in bed a while ago!!

I really enjoy reading your comments and gives me courage to continue blogging.
I am in the process of creating another section for the blog, for Sundays, which my be closer to this format (my thoughts and things about me other that fashion.)
Let me know if you would like that!



Love, A!
