The risk, week one

Day one First day of a new chapter in my life, sitting on the bus on my way to Matthew Boulton, I could feel the nerves building, how would I cope? Would I be accepted by the rest of the group? Was I doing the right thing? I knew that if I was going to make thisz work, I had to push all my insecuritys the back of my mind, forget about the past, have a clean slate and focus on the future. Walking into the main meeting hall was daunting, I spotted faces I had met previously on a pre uni outing, it was comforting to know that I wasn't on my own. As proceedings got underway we met our lecturers who would be guiding us as a group through the course for the next two years, it was amazing to find out them and the course, we found out Ellie would be our main academic tutor. As a form of bonding for the group Ellie introduced an exercise where we stood in a circle and used a nown infront of our names with the same letter as our name, and put an action to it. Mine was doopy Danny, I fought it was quit inventive considering it was an on the spot job. We then went ok to play a concentration exercise, needless to say. I was another rusty, we had to throw a ball netween each other and remember the order in which the ball went, I got the whole concept but kept over thinking "if I drop this ball I'm going to look right doopy, so it happened, luckily I have a mature group who made me feel really at ease with the situation. At the end of the day I left that building a lot more confident than when I entered, filled with antisipation of the weeks to come. Danny
