DELAYED

Carlisle On the 18th of September I go in for an interview at the University of Cumbria, Carlisle.

By that afternoon I have been accepted onto the first year of BA(hons) Illustration course.

I have no belongings, no paperwork, no where to stay and no money.

The trains are my only means of transport, I take one back that evening.

So I go back to Blackpool.

By the end of the day I have packed everything I need to return to Carlisle.

Well I wouldn’t say everything. At this point I still have no food, no cutlery, limited art materials, and no money.

But it will have to do, I have to get back to Carlisle ASAP, the course has already begun and there is an important trip to Keswick the next day that I have to make.

It’s a big rush.

The Next day I go to board a train back to Carlisle but-

They’re all

cancelled.

kpool I have no other way to get to Carlisle. I can get a lift on the weekend, but I will miss my first week of the course. It’s an annoying, frustrating situation, all because I can’t catch a

I bet you’d think being in Blackpool is great!

It’s not.

I hate Blackpool.

There is actually a moral to this story Always check your train times But more importantly Always check the bloody
