Open your eyes and you will see a world awaiting thee...Isn't it incredible the way your vision changes over time? I don't mean the way your focus gets a little fuzzy round the edges with age. But rather as your interests, tastes, feelings and knowledge changes, so your eyes adapt and you get those odd moments where you remember how you saw things before in comparison with how you see them now... and there's a world of difference! This is exactly the way I have found myself contemplating the past year's learning curve, and how it is now continuing with my summer placement. The practice that I am working for is (as I am) very pro a hands on approach and this has enabled me to get to grips with a vast array of new knowledge and begin to view my world through landscaped eyes, in a working manner that I feel sure will help me in entering the new year at university.
