LMU/CSM comparison

Yesterday I bought cereal as I had run out, and today I bought milk.  Just realized that I hadn’t eaten a proper breakfast for the last week.  Don’t get me wrong, I’d still eat, but it’d be digestives (strangely yummy) or a crossant at a convenience store. 

This also helped me realize something else: I completely devoted myself to creating artwork through my time at Central Saint Martins.  This is something that hasn’t really happened at LMU.  Again, don’t get me wrong, I do work hard.  But I force myself to work hard.  This hard-working does not come naturally to be in terms of my business undergraduate degree.  I just don’t enjoy it… I don’t get the same satisfaction out of balancing accounts as I do with finishing a silkscreened poster.

Not only that, but I’ve seen this forced effort in my design efforts for classes at LMU.  I’m not sure what it is that separates the design program at LMU and CSM as they are so different.  CSM has SO MANY resources available to it’s students (letterpress, professional quality silkscreening materials, etching, textiles, plastics workshops… and these are just the ones that LMU doesn’t offer, they have many more facilities).  Not only that, but the people that go there are MOTIVATED to do well.  It’s such a creative environment, inspiration is everywhere.  LMU seems stagnant in comparison.

All in all, there’s two things I’m curious about:

1) what will it be like to be back at LMU in creative classes?  Will my CSM drive carry over?

2) hey parents, can I get my masters in London?
