I have been toying with the idea of using "Halfway House" as a title for part of this project. I think of my student home as a kind of home-between-homes, not somewhere permanent, and I thought "Halfway House" sounded like it described it quite well.
Until I discovered that a Halfway House is actually a place for people with chronic mental disorders, people who have just been released from jail and people with substance abuse issues, before they are reintegrated back into society. So maybe it is not quite what I meant!
However, after a little google of it and discovering the meaning, a lot of it actually still relates to my work.
I am exploring the transition between student life and moving into 'real' life, leaving the family home for good and becoming a contributing member of society.
So in a way, my current house is sort of a half way house. It is the transitory place between student life and 'real' life.
