the debate

i have been to university and have a degree in film and television production, a degree in which i ended up not enjoying in he end and regretting the fact that i didn't do an fine art degree. for at least 6 months i have been debating going back to university to study a fine art degree. I'm constantly coming back to the idea of going back to university. but the eternal debate keeps raging

because i already have a degree i obviously have a student loan to pay back, to do another degree would create more debt especially since they changed the you don't get your tuition paid for you anymore if your parent don't earn enough rule and now i would have to get a tuition fees loan as well as a maintenance loan. this obviously would create more debt with the student loans company and while i don't start paying it back until i earn a certain amount a year i worry about never paying them back.

at the same time i don't want to be left thinking what if i did do an art course would i become better than i am now, or even if i wasn't to do one would i regret not doing it when i had the opportunity. currently i have a job with low hours, i don't have a mortgage and i don't have any children to support. I've considered going to uni again at a later date but then again if i have other commitments would this be possible or would i decide not to because its too much of a risk.

if money wasn't involved I'd have said where do i sign by now but it is and its something that i need to take into consideration. hopefully over the next week i will find answers and make the decision.

on an other note I have had to place my markers down and put my tablet away for the weekend and probably wont pick them up again for a couple of weeks. over the weekend i need to empty out our room except for the bed and redecorate before the wardrobe men arrive next Tuesday(yey wardrobes) I'm looking to also getting a new curtains and maybe a new quilt covers (I've seen one i like where i work) as I'm fed up of the mismatched look we currently have going on.

hopefully i'll be back creating art sooner than i thought i would.

that's all for now (i has to go to work) and hope to up date you guys soon :D
