Where did my holiday go? 4 weeks and 1 day til I move back to sunny Preston.
I got a confirmation of my place on the textiles course this year (yay!) and in the envelope was also my holiday project....(grrrr, how could you, UCLan?)...and a letter saying that the uni are running a trip to New York in February/March next year!...
