Our Apartment!

Chicago!

                                   New Years Eve at Navy Pier, Chicago

Chicago

We arrived in Chicago on Saturday, we haven't done much since jet lag is kicking in. We went for a walk around the city last night, saw a few things. My favourite was The Bean.

It was so cold! More walking today, and hopefully a few touristy things! :)

Kansas Trip

So my blog already consists of previous and current work, but I will now be using it to update everyone on my studies and experiences whilst I travel.

I will be living in Manhattan, Kansas for 5 months- from January until May. I am going to be studying metal smithing at KSU (Kansas State University) for the second half of my second year, which is just one semester. I am also visiting Chicago and New York and will be posting about the things I get up to there too! So it's not all work work work! :)

Hope you guys enjoy my blog!!

The tidiest you will ever see the area I work in. Such a messy person when I'm working, I guess that's not too much of a bad thing though?
