So I got it wrong! I have tried and I have tried to write my blog and upload it directly from my iphone, but I still haven’t succeeded :O( I can write it in the notes and send it to myself be email to upload, but I can’t copy and paste the note into this box on my phone or write directly into it.. if anyone else knows how to please help.
As for the Twitter advice, thanks Rachel, I’ll look into it.
A few more people in on Monday than have been during the holidays but not so’s you’d notice. Our first meeting was yesterday, and there were tutorials so much more busy. Been asked continuously about when we are getting our dissertations back – it’s not on the timetable and there’s no notices up so I’m as clueless as the next person, but I guess everyone is getting a bit anxious as we were told at some point it would be this week… I don’t know how I feel, I’m not really worrying about it, haven’t got time and there’s nothing we can do about the mark now anyway. Getting it now could just prove a distraction to getting the degree show work completed, especially if its not what you’d hoped for.
Someone asked, apparently it’s Friday we pick up the marks.
As for the painting so far this week, Monday I struggled with one, and Tuesday I erased half of it and re-did it. The nose and mouth were all wrong and it was not at all satisfactory. The painting technician was in and I had a word with her. She made a big deal about me mixing my solvent and oil into my paint directly and said that I should have a pot of just mediums mixed to use as I go. I guess I get that but what I am doing works for me right now and at some point these decisions have been made (probably out of ignorance you understand) that have enabled me to progress as I have and I’m loathed to change my routine this close to the finish line. What I did do was make up a pot of medium anyway to help with the part dried surface I was now trying to work with. It did help a bit. I am now ok with the painting.
The meeting was admin really, about deadlines, cluster groups for hanging the show, procedures, things to watch out for, PV, etc.. Even though a lot of it has been mentioned before its now more imminent and a few people are now a bit freaked out.
Hmm.. how to ‘stay calm and carry on’ ….
