Well... It's been a while... It's always a while. I have a good excuse though.  You see, I have been working hard.  Obviously not through choice, you understand.  However, I figured that I should maybe pass the year... I have no desire to continue working and resubmit....

The Picture here is the thing which I worked hard on... it took me forever ( ..a slight oversight on my part.... forever was not meant to be in the equation.. Oh well..)  Our semester theme was Site, so, naturally, I figured that a good site would be someone real...  I think this is a good site :)  My own personal theme was nature... (Ok... so it always is...) and overtaking... and environment and taking back and stuff like that...

My process was using fibre to make something a little bit more substantial.... well needle felting really... this was the bit that took a little longer than anticipated... but I'm liking the resulting overgrowth...

So anyway, I took my 'someone real' along to assessment  with me... and was in luck. (both male assessors)   stuttered my way through what I did any why I did it.... and that was 2 weeks ago ...

Feedback Tutorials happened last week.  I got 2.1 for this... which is better than last semester's 2.2... so is that good? I think they marked me down for not taking advice last semester,  'being conflictive' was the wording I believe....  well actually  for arguing with the powers that be... because lets face it I didn't really want to take the advice... but, now I'm more accommodating.. Is that good either??  I think it was my version of accommodating... anyways maybe I twisted things back around to my way... so I'm good with it :)

Of course it's not the best thing yr ever going to see.... but I was feeling amenable... trying to please... Yh I failed.  i did finish it a bit more first though.... before the imminent failure....

But I can't get the picture to upload... so u just have to take my word for it that it was truly amazing :)  

Its been a bit of a longer while now.... but I feel i should share my lack of artistic success with all and sundry.....  I'm guessing I should be a little bit pleased really... having stated that if any tutor should ever like my work at uni then I would be producing stuff I hated.  So success all round really then... I still like my work and they still don't....

I'm assuming that anyone reading this has no desire to succeed at university....  I think I used to have... but I'm thinking that failing with flying colours is a little more my league right now....  naturally I should have had 1st's... but 2.2's abound....  It's weird... cos I look at my work and I think it has improved by leaps and many many bounds... guess I have those rosy spectacles on again... must stop wearing them...  anyhows... my marks in the first year were kind of a bit better... they are lying though... ignore them.... my work is much better now....

Its been a while.... inspiration hasn't abounded.... this is not good.  I had high hopes for this year, but they are falling a little flat... I begin to think that I would be pretty insulted if a lecturer were to express any kind of admiration for my work.  I appear to be pretty safe on that count for the moment however.

Presentations are over... This is a good thing :).  And I really never ever in several million years, thought I would say this, but I actually enjoyed doing the presentation more than any of my other work.  and lets face it... This is not my field... Im not saying I did well... (probably failed miserably).  But here we have helpful lecturers.... (if a little doubtful taste-wise as  to art...)  ... and yes I know... This is Fine Art... a truly foolish name for something so un-fine...  (I do hope nobody ever reads this...)

Soon (very soon.... after two nightshifts and a pantomime in London) we have assessment... more fun I guess.  I have a wall full of "pretty" stuff... which is a bad start in itself... I'm not good with dark shocking and  disturbing... I dislike being disturbed immensely.

oh, and assessment for textiles is on the same day.  This may be a little better (uni-wise that is) but this I am unsure on... I'll let you know...  Wish it was Christmas......

Finally....... :)

Yay :)  finally got my assessment feedback for the essay...... note the smiley face.........  This is because i got  2.1 :)  which is brilliant for me, you understand..... It did however take me forever to write.  I'm happy with this, because lets face it.... essay writing is not my strong point :)

Also... since i last posted on here....... I  think i failed to say that I got my other results too...
actually they were all 2.1s for all three modules... posted one of them , but cant remember which we had first... it will be in previous post.  but 2.1s abound so its good :)  not as good as a 1st .... but there is always next year lol .... anyway... battery is dying on me again... its 2.40am and im only awake because someone I dont know, was kind enough to call me on mobile at 2am  :(   .............  see you next time :)

assessment feedback for textiles

Its pretty good at the moment... everything is handed in and nothing is looming :)  My essay is abandoned into the nether.... (and handed in )

I found my textiles workshop feedback (almost by accident...) it's 2.1, which is the same as last time for textiles, but a slightly higher 2.1 (63%) which is good ... I guess.  anyhows, battery is running out , it's 4.18am  and i cant be bothered to plug in .... so thats it for now :)

It's a bit later.... Hand in for essay is looming :P.  Everything else is handed in already (which is good)... Results?... yeah... anyway, I have no idea when we get those... but i will let you know.  I'll post my  (really bad..) essay on here... (After it's marked of course...).

Anyhow, these days, we are helping with the degree show... Painting boards and stuff.... for level 6's, in between major panic sessions with essay... (well, thts a lie really... but i probably should panic... maybe tomorrow...)  Today I have a tutorial at 12, so that should tell me how amazing  (or appalling) my essay is.

Then I have a dyslexic tutorial??  first ever... couldn't fit me in before apparently.... but I fear tis too late to save my essay.... besides I refuse to rewrite the damn thing... I shall merely fail with dignity (as the saying goes... well, actually I just made up the saying.... but who's to know??)
