Gallery visit

This month I decided to visit back home and the contrast was unbelievable, the weather, people, university life. Traveling and only a month into life here has given me a new outlook on work and living. Taking my first flights alone was scary at first but now I have so much confidence in traveling alone and feel that this feeling will benefit my job prospects when returning to the UK. Hopefully my employers will consider myself for exciting projects involving travel from the experience I have gained this year, another advantage will be when it comes to interviews as I will always have something to talk about in depth from my CV. Whilst I was away I was able to make a start with my projects, I had already researched into possible ideas ahead of my journey so that I could sketch in my books whilst traveling.

On my return to Cyprus our history class had arranged a trip to an art gallery to replace our usual lecture that week. It was a great chance for me to visit somewhere new in the city, see the artwork displayed and become introduced to most of our classmates. We all headed further into town for coffee after, to talk and get to know them more and answer their many questions about our travels, plans, life, university in Coventry etc.







I kept my promise to Vasilis our Greek classmate when I promised to model for his work. We drove out to a park for his Alice in Wonderland themed shoot where a costumes was given and hair and make up done by himself for his vision of the what he wanted and needed. There were also some girls from our class shooting for the same class and it was great to get to know them a little better. He was very happy with how his photos came out and has now asked me for another photo shoot in a studio located in another building of the university, this will give me the chance to see other facilities if I may need them. I invited them all to join us for a night out so they could get to know us all and we could get to know them more and learn more about their life at university.
