Starting Second Year of University

Today was the beginning of my second year back on my Illustration and Design course at university. Apart from the rubbish weather (shout out to my new Matalan coat that was a life saver from the non-stop wind and rain today!), it has been a great day! It felt good to be back and catch up with my class about how they have spent their summer holidays and hearing from my tutors all about our new and upcoming projects for the year. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in! I'll be sure to share both behind the scenes work and final submissions of any projects I do on this blog. 

Before my first day back I'd also been on a shopping spree in preparation. First I'd visited Sunderland City Art Store to stock up on supplies for my course. I love the feeling of starting a brand new sketchbook. Followed by a new plug in Razer mouse* and mouse pad* from Amazon which will help me develop my skills on Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator etc. Lastly I treated myself with a trip to Boots for a brand new mascara I'd seen advertised on TV that caters to your eye colour to enhance your eyes. 

In-between university preparation I took a pilates class last Friday at Sunderland Aquatic Centre and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I've been meaning to start a new hobby for a while and this one certainly looks promising. It was such a good work out and I felt great afterwards! I can't wait for the next session.
Then on Saturday I went for a lovely meal with my Mam to Luciano's restaurant, we really needed some mother-daughter time together lately as it has been long overdue. 
Lastly I have been working at Matalan for over two months now and I'm honestly loving working there. I'm enjoying the work and learning new skills, I've met so many lovely and friendly staff who have made me feel so welcome since day one and I've been receiving lots of shifts so roll on payday!

Thanks for reading! <3
