A bit more about Chelsea & VARSITY cup!!

I really love Chelsea because everything is right here in once place.  I'm very much looking forward to 2nd & 3rd year when we're doing a bit more on the larger spectrum when it comes to projects.  This year has been a lot of smaller brief projects that haven't been so much about innovation as they have been about learning tools.

I do like the freedom we're given on the course, which is nice.  It was a bit tough for me to grapple having come from the extremely structured american education system, but I absolutely love it.

The varsity cup is tomorrow, and ladies football is playing goldsmiths!  I second my earlier statement about joining a sports team.  Participating in sports gives you a strong social group which is really lovely, and I love playing sports, so it gets me out there running around.  Another unexpected benefit for me, being an international student, is the chance to travel!  When we go to our away matches, we take a minibus and I get to see a bit of the "country" as I would put it.  That has been a real treat.

Recently I worked on a website for my assessment.  You can check that out by clicking the the picture below.

Again I have to say that I wish there was more community at UAL.  Maybe I'm just missing something, but I know that the sports community is fairly strong, but that's only on wednesday nights and then on training nights.  Which is nice, but I would love to see other people in some other settings.  I know that it's difficult considering how spread out and how large the university is, but I guess that's just the way things are.
