its been too long

since my last post i've handed in my dissertation, had assessment, had feedback from that assessment, been to our fundraising auction for our degree show and had the most awful crit ever.

i wont get my dissertation mark until around easter, my assessment didn't go so badly. i got a 2:2, which i expected, the auction raised a lot of money for the show and the crit, yesterday, nearly made me cry. i couldn't manage to explain my work and ideas. i felt like i was put on the spot and my mind went blank. everything i said the tutors put down as being pointless. i have no idea how i managed to stay calm considering there were 2 other people after me. hopefully next week will go better and my tutors can be some help for a change.

today i haven't really done much. lazed around the house, tidied up a bit, had a good think about my work and what i can do and where it can go. i'm trying to think about what i might be showing in my degree show so i can go pick out a space. i'm thinking probably some big prints in either lino or screen printing. i need some more practice with screen printing first.

right now i'm in the middle of making some oreo cupcakes. i might post of photos of them later if they come out ok.
