I've got an outline for a series I want to do, focusing on the condition of the university student (Narcissistic, I know), when alone, whether in a group, studying, musing, or simply escaping. Probably more cathartic than interesting, but oh well. 
My initial vision for the project was to portraits of students in 6x6 on colour film, but budget and film processing availability (No 120 C-41 processing in my area at the moment) are forcing me to re-imagine it.
For now I'm trying to explore the subject a bit, maybe get a feel for it while I work toward getting the tools I imagine for it.
I shot this today, and miraculously, these two frames were some of the few to survive a bit of a processing disaster (nasty, nasty scratches and bromide drag). Ideally I want to do a relatively big print of this diptych, in which I can scale the second image slightly smaller and still retain the necessary detail.
I appreciate any advice, criticism of this image, or warnings to sell all my gear and focus on real studies that you might have.

A project or theme is almost always a good idea.

Agreed.. projects are such a good catalyst for creativity and skill. My best advice (insert grain of salt) is that projects tend to want to stray from their original intent.. let them! I think photogs generally achieve the most fully realized projects when they allow them to evolve. Well, the ones I like best anyway
Good luck! BTW, I'm a sucker for diptychs, triptychs.. any kind of tych
