Woohoo! I'm finally starting my journey to Scotland! :)
The next 2 days, I will be traveling by bus. Why? Because it was the cheapest option and I'm not in a hurry. I will arrive one week before the university starts, so it should give me plenty of time to get accustomed to the daily life. I mean, I get accustomed to Japan in days, so how hard can Scotland be? :D
My bus should have picked me up by 3pm, but because the tour started from Prague (CZ), it came round about 4pm. Man, I was so nervous that I somehow missed the bus (wrong station, unknown time change, etc.) I already planned in my head how I could get the next flight the next day, when the bus finally arrived ^^
And because sitting in bus is everything else but exciting, here some information about my future plans in Scotland: I will stay for 3 semesters in Scotland to study "Games Development" in a Professional Masters course (in short: MProf). So after one and a half years, I want to work immediately in the computer games industry. In which country and what exactly, I'm not sure about yet. I could work as a programmer, but this field alone has so many branches, it's hard to specify what exactly I want to do. Or maybe I will work in a completely different discipline.
But this is also why I chose to study again and not to apply for a job. By studying the field of computer games from a professional point of view, getting first contacts in the industry by meeting current and future staff of companies with their unique backgrounds and goals, I can collect more information about how the industry really works and then make a proper decision where to go. After all, based on my research "the qualification" for the industry does not exist, it started and is still filled with many people from every other background but creating computer games.
Truth be told, my dream is going back to Japan and to work in the games industry :)
But one thing after another ... ^^
