Well work from uni is picking up a bit and I feel like I haven't really had much time to relax or do something not related to my course.
I have frantically been writing notes from lectures and juggling bits of paper to try and work out what I have to do for next week but I'm determined not to become a slave to the amount of work I have. So this weekend I'm going to Edinburgh to see a friend and will stop off at Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair while I am there! It is at St Andrews and St Georges church on George Street and is guaranteed a must for any vintage fan with lots of sellers from around the UK attending.
For one of my courses (Contemporary and Contextual Studies) I also have to take a trip to Dean Gallery in Edinburgh on Monday to do work for my reflective journal on a Surrealist exhibition currently at the gallery called Another World. I get to spend the whole day sketching and creating some (hopefully) great pages inspired by the work I will see. Maybe trips like this will make it feel less like work and will get me away from little old Galashiels for the day!
Bye for now.

Home Sweet Home
I have now arrived in Galashiels and after a few days of unpacking and settling in I am having a great time getting to know everyone who is staying in my halls and on my course. This is the first internet connection I have found as the Wi-fi in the halls is not working so instead I will spend my time sitting in a quaint little coffee shop with a tea pot and scone.
After having a walk about I have realised that Galashiels isn't quite as small as I thought it would be and there is actually quite a lot available to us here, which is a blessing! Lots of nice architecture, small little cottages to lovely churches. Close by is a little town called Melrose which I only drove through but looks gorgeous so I can see many return journeys there. Tea rooms, antique shops (which I can't wait to trawl around) and little one way streets make it chocolate box perfect.
I got my timetable today and it seems like the course will be quite fast paced and intense but I'm looking forward to having some direction with my work again and learning new things.
My wardrobe is tiny but I will have to cope, Galashiels is 'Home Sweet Home' for the next four years.
