Travel

travel verb1 [ intrans. ] make a journey, typically of some length or abroad : the vessel had been traveling from Libya to Ireland | we traveled thousands of miles.

I've been back in the UK for about three months now, training and drawing and learning and generally trying to make sense of my plans for the next 18 months. The tension of applying for the funding and all that it entails as far as my future is getting fierce. In a couple of weeks, one way or the other, it will be decided. Either I get the finances in place, or I don't. Frankly it's worrying me to a quite inordinate degree.

I've created another blog (my, how the illness spreads) to document what will hopefully be 18 months that begins the next 40 or 50 years of my working life. It's scary to think about it that way but it's an honest truth. 

I came across this website - although by came across I mean I found it through a link from Penny Arcade - and proceeded to write a very rambling e-mail to the owner offering any and all services that I might be able to provide, although I don't know what they'll think when they read it. I thought it was important to make the offer though. When you hear about other people's troubles, and the hardships that life can have sometimes, it makes your own situation seem more than a little trivial. 

I'm not sure if or when I'll be posting here next - but my new blog is here - and I'll be trying to make at least weekly posts once I actually start my course. If I can't start, for whatever reason, I'll still be posting bits and pieces as I work on them. Fingers crossed I'll be boring you all with Animation Mentor-related bits of fluff in the near future.
