One day to go!

Friday was soooo fun (yes those extra o's were completely necessary).  We got shown round the amazing and very confusingly laid out campus, then we got grilled for a couple of hours on Gnomon policy etc. Doesn't sound as much fun on paper but the atmosphere was great. The studios look so cool and there is tonnes of fantastic art every time you turn a corridor. I am very looking forward to seeing Gnomon up and running on Monday!
I met a bunch of very interesting people too some of which were taking the 2 year track so I will see them from time to time panicking about render times etc that's a whole year off for me :p.  The majority of us on Friday though were taking the 3 year program, I am really looking forward to seeing their work and working along side them too.  Again though I can't wait to start on Monday!
So today was mostly errand running I cycled down to the Grove which is a very classy kinda shopping street I guess, I don't really have anything from home to compare it to.  To be honest it mostly reminded me of walking down a theme park like Alton towers or Disney land with the large departments, green features and walkways, maybe a couple of rides would make it an even more fun experience.
I did find Santa and his reindeer just chilling in the parking lot though. Maybe he is outsourcing some of his work this year.
On the way back I stopped off at one of the biggest art stores I have ever seen. I probably sound a little naive saying that in the USA but I still can't get over the size of just about everything here! The cars the roads the stores just everything is so big! And I love it! I've traveled to the US a few times before but it still amazes me. 
Lastly before I sat down to fully unpack and prepare for my last day of freedom for 3 years I used my Gnomon enrolment sticker to jazz up my bike! It fit almost perfectly on the coloured tag on the top frame.
