A Little Introduction
I am a 20 year old, who grew up in Southampton, Hampshire where I attended St Anne’s Catholic Convent School for Girls (a bit of a mouthful…I know!) I took my A-levels in English Language, German and English Literature. I gained 2 A’s for English Language and German and a B in Literature. I was very passionate about German and intended to continue at the University of Leeds. Unfortuantely I couldn’t complete the year due to illness and had some time to think about where I could go with my life. I loved my German degree and all the linguistic aspects too however I just couldn’t face going back. Everyone kept telling me to make a new start, research new degrees until I found something I felt I could enjoy but would still stimulate me. (I refused to continue with German knowing I’d have to travel away for a year, and at the time I couldn’t see myself doing it). After a lot of (soul) searching I fell upon the Public Relations degree at Leeds Metropolitan and I was thrilled. I managed to apply in time and got a place! In hindsight I don’t know what it was about the degree that struck me as something I thought I could do well in, but in the back of my mind there must have been something.
And now, here I am setting up this page, let the blogging begin…
