After almost eight days in Reading, I finally get the quiet and will to write. It has been a long week adjusting to life in the UK. Especially the weather, it's not easy not to have much light, but well, one gets used to it! Some say it's the latitude, that makes us feel very tired the first days, especially for us southern europeans.
But well this is just some weather adjustments one needs to do when moving away from your country!
The program hasn't started yet, but this year we had homework, so everybody is home drawing, reading, and doing some exercises. But we find time to go out and get to know the city, and
the department.
It's very interesting to meet our colleagues, that are from all over the world, really, from Japan, India, Greece, Holland, United States, just some of them… So our English is a mixture, very
funny sometimes!
We also had the chance to meet some previous students that gave us precious advices, especially work hard, concentrate, and try to follow your instincts, and ear what the professors can taught us, lots of wise words.
It's nice to see them all happy to finish but at the same time sad that it's all over! But it's never over! Hopefully also some previous students of past years will also be teaching us at the department, and that is very good sign!
Right now almost all students are arriving to Reading, the last ones arrive during the weekend! Next wednesday is the first meeting at the department with all students, this year we are 18! Let's hope everything goes smoothly, I believe it will!
In the mean time a nice calm weekend just organizing for a full start on tuesday in London at the St Brides Library!
