I have just submitted a preliminary application for an exchange to the University of California, Berkeley campus! I listed the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara campuses as my next options; then the University of Glasgow, and then Sciences Po in Paris. I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders in this decision making - now it's all in the admin, getting references and course approvals sorted.
Now it's time to focus on the art making which has been on hold for too long.
