Let's see how this works...

I really want to make the most of this blog and post regularly, but like a lot of people, time can sometimes be hard to find. And usually I can't write a post straight off the top of my head - I have to have drafts which I rewrite a few times first.

Often I get an idea for a blog when I'm in the middle of doing other things. Sometimes I like to leave a draft and come back to it at a later time when I can read it fresh before modifying it.

So I've decided to make the leap and set up mobile blogging so I can write and send drafts on the go whenever I have spare time. And then by laying down the groundwork I can make edits later at my laptop before publishing.

Sounds good to me. And this happens to be my first mobile post.

Visiting college

Today I went and visted my tutors from the college where I did my national diploma. It was lovely to be able to catch up and see how the course has developed. A lot of changes have been made, and for the better it seems. I was slightly jealous.

I also realised how much I have learnt since college. My conversation with my design tutor was so much more involved and interesting. Having become more aware of the current goings-on in the design sphere (largely because of, but not limited to, my RSS feed obsession) I was able to discuss topics in greater depth, and with better understanding than I could have ever done two years ago.

Two years ago I knew very little. Now I'd say I know at least a little bit more.

Homeward bound...

After spending the majority of the summer in Nottingham, it is time for me to head home for a week before the start of term. I'll have only been home for a total of 12 days this summer - its quite surreal.

I don't regret it - I've been much more active and productive in Nottingham than I would have been at home. But it'll be nice to spend some time in Blackpool again and see my family.  Also, whenever I return home something has always changed, due to the ReBlackpool masterplan and I always like to analyse the developments.

I'm taking books for dissertation reading with me - whether I'll get the chance to read them however...
