First semester left me with a diagnosis of Dyspraxia that has been a struggle to cope with, and an anxious brain that told me I couldn’t succeed in the degree… then I started getting grades back from my assignments- unexpectedly good grades.
First semester was a culture shock
- Living without parents for the first time
- Going out
- Making friends
- Struggling to find out what I wanted to do in life.
By second semester, I have a vague idea of what I want to do with my life (I am still unsure of how to get there but I know that will come in time), I have friends here, I am surviving without my family, I have a part time job, I’m doing okay here. In fact, I’m doing a lot better than I expected to do.
Here are some pictures that sum up first semester for me. (Did I mention I wanted to be a photographer?)
