A couple of days after I had decided to take my project in a different direction is when there began to be lots of uncertainty and anxiety about the current climate in terms of the potential of a pandemic/ lockdown. While at this point the university still remained open and life was carrying on as normal, I found myself in quite a deep state of panic and anxiety which obviously makes it very difficult to complete uni work to a high standard. I found it very hard to create when feeling this unsettled, particularly being away from home. Over the next couple of days it was announced that the university would be closing  and I made the decision to leave Brighton in order to be with family. At this point I was trying to still be thinking about my project a much as I could, and be productive and practical where I could but it did take me some time to settle into a new environment to be working in. So there has been a couple of weeks where I had not been as productive as I would have liked but I am getting back into the swing of things now.
