An Ironic Title that reflects how I feel currently - Maps and Journeys

My first thoughts about coming back to uni weren't all that positive. I was having doubts about whether I was doing the right thing and going down the right path.
I was lucky enough to get a job during the summer and had grown attached to the people there and just the whole routine was comfortable and what I needed at the time.
The thought of returning to uni terrified me and I was unsure if I wanted to.
As I am quite a stubborn person and I don't like giving up I knew that leaving uni wasn't an option and I guess that everyone has those feelings at some point.

Over this summer I have realised that music needs to be my focus, it wasn't until my ipod broke that I realised how reliant I was on listening to music and having music in my life seems to keep me calm.
I have always wanted to take a musical route regarding career and life choices, however due to many people telling me that wasn't an ideal goal for life I chose to focus on the second thing I was good at, that being film. DFSA has given me the opportunities to be as creative as I want however as it is primarily a film based course it lacks the music element that I would like.

This post is more of a note to self than anything else but I wanted to make it clear in a way that I want to focus on sound, in all of my projects I think they will be heavily sound based. I think this will help me channel the energy and passion I have towards music into the creative way this course requires me too.

For the first time I have realised that I can channel my feelings into my work as this unit is about journeys I'm using it as an outlet to express how lost I currently feel and hopefully it will lead me to the answers I'm looking for.
