Hi, all! It's been a while. If you've been kind enough to keep up with this blog, you'll have noticed that it's been several months since I last posted some film ramblings. And for that, I apologise. Also, I'd like to reassure you that I haven't stopped with writing completely, I've just been struggling to find the time to post quite so regularly, given that I'm now already nearly halfway through my first year at university. Scary, yes. But awesome? Absolutely. I'd forgotten how much I'd missed studying Film. Obviously, it's quite different to how I'd studied it previously at school, but that prior knowledge I already had when I started here has really helped and has made me feel better prepared when it comes to assignments etc. It's not easy by any means, but to sit and have interesting in depth conversations with other people who share your love of Film, and to discover new films and share opinions and recommendations really makes it feel not like work at all sometimes. So to anyone considering a film degree, or even maybe just any degree, I'd say go for it. There's still this unfortunate idea circling the subject of Film that questions how academic it is, and what career it could possibly lead to. As a Film student obviously I'd argue wholeheartedly that Film is an academic subject - which I don't wish to get into now - but it has lead me to believe that, whatever degree you choose, you should just quite simply do what you love. After all, if I'm going to be involved with it for the next four years and investing a pretty large sum of money into it, why shouldn't I be studying a subject I adore rather than something that I hate but will get me a great job at the end? I'd rather worry about that later.
So, on a final note; I'm not disappearing from the blog at all, but I've explained as to why it's not been easy for me to post as much as I would've liked. But, being busy studying Film (and French!) is a pretty good excuse, I reckon...
