Closing of a fabulous year and the beginning of an even better one.

BONJOUR.

Not been very active on this over the holidays cause I've been leaving jobs, working, doing project stuff and spending time with my family!

As 2014 draws to a close I would like to take this opportunity to say how wonderful it has been and how grateful I am for everyone who's been involved! I have done a lot of things this year that I didn't think I could do - I have achieve so much and cannot wait for the adventure ahead! There has been a few bumps along the way but I have had the support and encouragement from my family, boyfriend, friends, college loves and work colleagues which has pulled me through.

This blog is meant to be about my college work but I feel that being more personal makes for a more interesting read. I am pleased to say that my Multiples project is almost complete with the last few photos to be mounted and then a final arrangement of the order in which they will be displayed. And to finalise the whole thing I still need to do my statement for assessment.

Although I am the worlds worst at keeping to schedules when it comes to college work I feel that I always pull through in the end (unusually not the day before this time). My New Years resolution should really be to get that sorted and plan and schedule life a lot better in order to avoid any more breakdowns, fainting spells, chronic headaches and sleepless nights.

I will finish on this note;

I would like to wish all of those reading my blog the best for 2015, I hope it is filled with love and joy - CHEERS

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.

Right, I can hear the clock ticking..and I am beginning to panic uncontrollably.

At least I am up to date and all sorted for Paul and David's class so I can focus on pathways, but I have only just came up with a new idea for displaying my photos and it involves making around 30-40 casts of a camera!!!! YIKES. I have worked it out that I will be able to make them all within a week IF I get moulds made.. which isn't cheap to do!

Currently, whilst I write this I am waiting to re-coat my latex mould (It needs around 15 coats)... it stinks and is taking for ever! I have also made three alginate moulds but each can only produced MAYBE three casts!!! Disaster!...I cant believe I have only just thought of this idea...


SO, I will attempt to pursue this idea BUT I will also be sticking with my original idea - as I only need 100 more photos then! which sounds a lot but within the time frame I should be able to get them all! I never realised how much time this project would take up..

I'm skint, exhausted and SO close to giving up but I shall carry on and hope for the best!...

Clocks Ticking

AHHHHHHHHH. (now breathe)


It's getting closer and closer to all my deadlines and I cannot stop panicking. Although my investigative report for Pauls class is DONE and my first draft of my 10slide Presentation is also DONE I am beginning to worry about my Pathways project. Again and again my confidence is shattered and I want to completely change my mind, I realise this is because I am thinking far to much into the concept - which is confusing enough already. I honestly want to burst into tear whenever I realise just how much I still have to do.

However, I have eventually taken the plunge and sorted out my routine and will have so much more time and energy to focus on things that mean the most to me. I have also worked out a plan for my next few trips through to Edinburgh as I need about 300 MORE photos to create my final piece (which may cost a small fortune).

Sadly I've no pictures to upload this week.

Cheerio for now, wish me luck,

xoxo
