The impact of the first year ...

   Just thinking of how quick did this first year of University pass. It seems like it was yesterday the day I did the check-in in the airport of Pisa. It seems yesterday that I arrived in a foreign to me country- England! Suddenly, I realized that I made the big step- I made my first step towards my life as an adult; towards a life where you have to face every difficulty, every fear and finally start to be comletely independent.
    Of course I don't deny that first two weeks were the most terrifying period for me. Each hour felt like it was an eternity. Fortunately, I met nice persons who understood me, understood my situation and the big change I have to adapt myself to.
    Yes, I am not a baby anymore and I realized it when I first entered the big glass building- Sounthampton Solent University. I felt like Alice in Wonderland. Everything was completely new for me and finding the room I needed was like walking through the labyrinth trying to find the exit.
    Well, from a social point of view it was quite difficult to adapt myself to foreign to me habits, and trying to be myself but taking in account rules or habits that were strange for me. In the end, opening yourself to the world means exactly this- accepting other cultures and living this kind of experience helps to understand the variety.
    From a professional point of view, that is studying- at the beggining was difficult to me to understand even what teachers were saying, because of could each person has his own accent and own way of explaining.
    If talking about make-up- from the very beginning it seemed that a new world opened to me. Even the first moodboard I did was a novelty , as I have never done anything like that before. One thing I understand is that in this scope you will never stop learning or discovering. Make-up and Hairdesign is that purview which is evolving continuosly.
    By the end of the year I was a bit dispaointed because I expected to finish it with much more technical knowledge But that making the summery of the entire year and taking into consideration all the difficulties I passed, I understand that it was the rightest way to help us to learn as well as possibil e the basic techniques and knowledgefor this area, because you must have a strong fountation to grow.
