Week beginning Monday 3rd..

Morning!

Bit late in posting my reflection on last week but I have had literally no spare moment to sit down and write but now I do!

Monday began with 'directed study' which I decided would be best spent at home until our 2pm class, and this proved to be a good choice to make as I managed to get the work for Paul's class done within half an hour and had the rest of the morning to look over my notes for the Pathways Presentation - roll on 2pm.

In Ewan's class we began the Pathways Presentations but never go through them all, although the ones we did were FABULOUS and had me even more nervous for my turn at presenting! I was told I would get to do mine on the Tuesday (if I had been smart I could have altered and rehearsed my presentation in prep for Tuesday). I took that opportunity and wasted it, but it was for the best as a night to relax and not do any college work and just have a nice dinner out etc was by far the best way to calm my nerves.

Tuesday brought with it a wee nervous belly, as although I am confident in speaking I was soooooooooooooooo nervous I hadn't done it right as my presentation was nothing like any that had been done already.
I was last to go (out of who was there on Tuesday) which could've been both the best and worst position to be in. I cannot believe how well it went - I got right into it and could not hide my passion for what I was talking about, because in effect I was talking about what I want to do with my life and how I want to go about making a living! The comments on my presentation were amazing and my class were so supportive, definitely in with a great bunch of people. Then we got given our next brief ...


Which I was buzzing to begin and am so far enjoying the research stage!

Friday was the next day I had to be back in college, but I was very very sick and couldn't move from bed without collapsing so mum didn't want me driving so I couldn't even get my critical essay, and never did I ever think I would be so upset about not getting an essay and feedback returned. I emailed and am awaiting a reply so fingers-crossed I haven't done a diabolical essay so much so he has went into hiding.

So, that's it! What I was up to that week, and now I am half way through my week off and done some college work research and also spent a lot of time out and about with my camera as I haven't been able to do photography leisurely for AGES.

Pathways Project Presentation worries...

Oh how I wish I had been there and grabbed myself a few Banksy bargains.


Apologies, digressing slightly from my intent for this post which is to worry, panic and cry over this afternoons presentation. Although I am very happy with the outcome so far I am SOOOOOO worried that its not what they are looking for! I carried out some basic research on some of my personal favourites from each of the three pathways, each artist being a professional in a different method under the three headings, then I expressed a few lines on why I chose them and what appeals to me about their work. I thought this was the best idea because they are my inspiration and I would like to follow in their footsteps. WHO KNOWS BUT, I will found out soon enough if what I have done is correct or not.

Ps. I've also finished the work Paul gave us so I have until 2pm to chill (OR WORRY MY ASS OFF)

This be a selfie I took whilst in the Mac lab a few weeks ago ahaha!

Toodles for now
