I’m a Graduate!

Just a quick one, got to do the obligatory graduation post!

“I don’t want to leeeaaave”
“But we have to graduate now!”

Sharp blow to the head in 3.. 2.. 1..

Just as I expected, third year was over in a flash, and while it was sad to leave Uni (as I’m sure you can tell from the above picture), come November I had the joy of graduating! So exciting, dressing like a wizard, drinking fake champagne and eating canapes! Safe to say I was just a tad nervous at the prospect of walking across a stage, in heels, in front of hundreds, to collect my degree – made worse by the fact I was the first of my entire course, thanks to being blessed with the surname ‘Ashfield’, bane of my life. Well I’m relieved to say I didn’t faceplant. It was an amazing day and definitely one to remember, what a wonderful way to round up my Uni experience 😀

It’s true what they say, Uni really is some of the best years of your life and you make friends for life. I’m sad to have left the NCCA and all the great friends, colleagues and lecturers I met there. BUT, onwards and upwards and onto the next chapter: finding an actual job!

Welcome

Hello there! I’m Lucy Ashfield, a student at the NCCA studying BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts, and with my third year now well under way, I thought it was bloomin’ well time I started a blog! I wondered if I would ever find the time to take time out of working on projects.. to then write about those projects, but it has to be done! Especially since I will soon be one of the many graduates trying to find a job. And it’s always nice to show off your work 😀

So as a little introduction, I’m in the second term of my final year at the awesome National Centre for Computer Animation in Bournemouth, and I currently have three projects on the go: Master Classes in Computer Graphics Techniques, Innovations, and the biggy.. Major Project. I hope to explain a little bit more about these projects in posts to come, but for now I best get working on them!
